Such a fun middle grades take on the DC Universe. A great graphic novel, introducing animal sidekicks and plots abound

I've heard really amazing thing about Borison's writing, but this one just didn't do it for me. I found the idea pretty solid and the romance okay, but the third act breakup felt a little forced and awkward.

Honestly, my favorite Hazelwood book. The characters? A delight. The story? Gripping without being in your face. The romance? Sexy and swoony and so so good

I'm a sucker for a good hockey romance, and Elle Kennedy is it. Seeing the Briar U kids back in action was a delight. The spice: immaculate. The plot: a little fluffy but solid story beats. Character growth: stunning.

As much as I love the work of CLAMP, I love the weird cozy mundanity of oni hunting and cafe shop running more. I could live in a book with that. Overall, the story continues and we learn more about the mysterious bad guys
