This was a really fun story. I was a bit hesitant going in as I'm a Teen Titans fan and sudden new character, but it really pulled it off and I found This was a really fun story. I was a bit hesitant going in as I'm a Teen Titans fan and sudden new character, but it really pulled it off and I found that I liked Mandy a lot. I'm glad I gave it a chance and I'd love to see more of Mandy in the future.
(view spoiler)[Also major props to the story itself. When Mandy states she's the "Anti-Starfire", I was like, lol, nope that's Blackfire. And lo and behold that's exactly the revelation that Mandy comes to herself when she comes face to face to her terrifying aunt for the first time in her life.
I also liked how it's clear the Starfire is trying to be a good mother she's just not connecting well and often trying too hard. Also the Titans are still in her life. (hide spoiler)]...more

And well, for everyone else it was but they were mostly horrible so eh.
I was afraid she'd die tragically at the end and be avenged which is better than no vengeance but always sad for the lady who had to die but nope, got her own vengeance with some help.
Very enjoyable. The art, as usual, is gorgeous. ...more
**spoiler alert** This was a love letter to slasher movies. I adored this book. I loved the premise, I loved the characters. I had so much fun trying **spoiler alert** This was a love letter to slasher movies. I adored this book. I loved the premise, I loved the characters. I had so much fun trying to match each character to the franchise she was based on.
I loved the parts in between the chapters that were taken as though they were from in universe movie reviews. I loved the chapter titles that mimicked the cheesy horror sequel titles.
This book was so good. I just know I'm going to re-read it at some point.
Just an amazing book.
(Also I want to know wtf is up with Heather's final girl story so much. I loved the sudden twist of, oh shit, magic does exist actually. I'd figured they'd just gone with Nightmare on Elm Street with no magic but turns out, not really. Which is terrifying because it means there's really a Freddy Krueger like, Dream King out there in universe.)...more
