Ik heb het originele boek niet gelezen, maar ik vind dat deze graphic novel het verhaal van Dita erg toegankelijk heeft gemaakt. Natuurlijk is deze graphic novel een stuk korter dan het boek zelf, maar dat maakte het verhaal er niet minder heftig op.

I’m still not the biggest fan of Stephanie Plum, but I’m definitely coming around. This was a fun read and I’m curious to find out what will happen next.

I seem to be in the minority but I really loved this book. I loved the cozy vibes, but it was also really nice that there was some diversity. I really ate this up, though, the ending was a bit abrupt. The book could’ve been a bit longer so that everything was wrapped up a bit more neatly.

This was a fitting ending to the story. It does feel like half of the story went right past me though because I sometimes found a bit hard to follow.

It started of as a really fun book and I liked the chemistry between the characters. However, Carter’s behavior was so annoying in the long run and I also feel like Jennie was being way too harsh on Garrett at times.

This was such a fun read, I really liked the banter and I enjoyed the adventures that Calladia and Azaroth went on. I also liked the way he came to terms with who he was as a person. The only thing is, why did this book have to be so long?

Ik ben echt door dit verhaal gevlogen. Het zat goed in elkaar en de ‘screenshots’ van de gesprekken waren een leuke toevoeging. Ik vind alleen wel dat de boeken ietwat voorspelbaar worden.

This was such an interesting read, but if I’m completely honest, I didn’t know what was going on half of the time. I do want to know what will happen next though.

Everything wrapped up nicely, it was fun to see it all come together. This installment was more focused on the mystery part and not so much on the thrilling part, which I really liked in the first book. I’m happy that this one wasn’t as slow as the second book, because I barely could get through that one.

This was such a charming story but the pacing was off. The beginning was quite slow, even though a lot was happening. And then in the end everything wrapped up so quickly, I didn’t really like that. I wish it was spaced out a bit more evenly.
