Hello everyone! This review is something a little different than what I typically read but I’ve been meaning to get more into. I am reviewing a graphic novel! I used to read a lot of manga when I was younger and I’ve really wanted to get back into reading graphic novels. That means you might see more of these on my blog.
Aside from that, things have been great! Business is going really well and life has been busy. Busy is sometimes crazy but most of the time it makes the time pass. I still can’t believe tomorrow will be the first day of 2020. I see many good things happening this year and I can’t wait to continue my blogging journey with all of you. It is nice to see how I’ve grown but also get to the point where I’m not worrying about the stats as much anymore. I am doing this for me…it is a passion, not a job.
Alright, I won’t get carried away with a big blurb about me. Let’s get to this review!

Leslie dreams of something different for herself. But these dreams are becoming dangerous, especially because they feature a mysterious wolf. And, when she wakes up, she thinks that she is being watched… And, as if that were not enough, on the day of her twenty-fifth birthday, Leslie receives an email that she would never have wanted to receive. But she still does not know it’s just the beginning …
The hit Italian comic, a fantasy, erotica, romantic suspense series by MIRKA ANDOLFO (Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, DC Comics Bombshells) will bring you in a colorful but terrible world, where personal freedoms are superfluous. Follow Leslie on a breathtaking plot, between thriller and fantasy with a touch of sensuality.
First of all, I’m not sure why I was tempted to read this but I was drawn to it right away. The blurb is what really pulled me in though and boy was I happy to pick this book up. A major theme here is the blatant disgust of those who choose to have intimate relations with others outside of their species. It reminds me of race or religious issues that some still face today within their family’s beliefs. The colors were great…not too bright but not dull either. As soon as I was finished, I picked up the second book. With a deep story-line and engaging characters, I had to know what happened next. I needed to know more. Who was this wolf? Why are people really after Leslie?
I ended up reading all three of the books that were available within two days. I couldn’t put it down! Though with some adult content I did feel strange reading it in the same room my in-laws were in. This book is intended for adults and contains a lof of sexual content not meant for younger readers.
What do you think? Is this book something you’d enjoy to read? Do you read graphic novels?
