I had to pick this book up. It's pink and it's about an exorcism! How could I resist? Once I picked it up, it was very hard to put back down. It's as if Vega combined the movie Mean Girls with demonic possession. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I just couldn't wait to see what happened next. What's even better is that there's a sequel to this book!

First off, I have to say I don't usually read a lot of horror books. But I saw this one and knew I had to read it. It's about a teenage girl and her best friend in the 1980s. One of them is possessed and it's up to the other one to help. The story wasn't as "horror" as I had expected, but I'm completely okay with it. I wasn't looking for a super scary book. It does have moments that will freak you out, though. I really enjoyed the design of the... (read more)

This is the perfect book for any lover of the supernatural. And when I say supernatural, I mean if you love the CW's Supernatural you will love this book. It's basically as if you took Jo and Ellen Harvelle from the hit show and threw them into a world where hunters actually get paid for ganking monsters. When I first read the description for this book, I'll admit that I was skeptical. After reading it, I changed my mind. I came to love... (read more)

Rat Queens is about a group of girls who are loudmouthed, booze-guzzling, and violent. What's not to like about them? The best way to describe this comic is that it's a mix of Lord of the Rings and the movie Bridesmaids. It's funny, crude, and gruesome but also kind of heartfelt sometimes. It's a great comic that has great diversity.
