What I Liked:
- The Romance: I really liked the romance at this point. I thought Julie and Selena's relationship was refreshing and you could really feel the excitement of a new relationship. I also enjoyed the f/f romance representation.
-The Art: The art style was really nice and I really enjoyed the overall colour scheme of it. I also liked the cafe scenes and the tarot cards that are shown twice in the story.
What I Didn't Like:
- The Humor: So this is said to be a funny, witchy, romance, fantasy graphic novel. This had jokes that just fell super flat for me to the point it was cringe worthy, in my opinion.
- The Other Story: The sections that followed another graphic novel that the character was reading were... unnecessary? just why? The random pages from the other graphic novel that are added to this book are often random and ruin the flow of the current plot.
- The Plot: The focus in volume one was getting everyone used to the characters. There are also werewolves, ghosts, and other types of creatures. This one had a premise similar to a Pokemon movie to be quite honest. A spell has been cast on their friend Chet and our main character Julie, and her girlfriend Selena have to figure out how to reverse it.
- The Q&A: I am quite confused as to why this is included. Throughout the graphic novel, there are a random question and answer sections with a celebrity. They are scattered around with no context and do not add to the plot.

Admittedly, the Q&A parts were the only ones I laughed out loud at, particularly the one at the end of the first issue where the siren celebrity just advises drowning others as a solution to their problems.
