Goodreads Synopsis:
A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft.
Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers' bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town.
One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any town home.
Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery.
Review:
This graphic novel has so much to offer, it has the paranormal, twists, a non-binary character, a hearing impaired character, and non-traditional living situations. The story is told through Nova and Tam, who were once friends but then Tam moved away. Together they have to defeat evil witches and demons in order to save Nova's town and Tam's life.
The story was wonderful, full of the paranormal and adventure and I love any time a story has witches. In addition to a great story, the artwork is beautiful to look at an detailed and perfect for the story. And then there is the romance which is so sweet and simple and just what it needs to be.
I loved the characters, they were charming and realistic, even with magical powers and the ability to turn into a wolf. They were both caring and compassionate and that is hard to find in a lot of books. I really liked this story it was a pleasure to read.
