Spooky season may be over, but the spooky reads will continue to be a staple on my bookshelf and TBR list. I read Coven a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The art is incredible and I loved the detailed illustrations in tandem with vibrant colors and hues. This binge-able graphic novel is centered around Emsy and her family’s coven. While she would rather spend her days surfing the waves with her friends, a sudden death struck her family’s coven back east and Emsy is forced to return to her roots to provide extra aid and protection.
I was expecting this to be very witchy and I was glad that it has a balanced mixture of contemporary and spooky spell vibes. I easily fell in love with all of the characters - especially her coven of whom Emsy was originally hesitant to attempt to re-establish a connection. While it reads quickly, the characters appear well-developed with excellent dialogue. It’s a great read for any time of year - not just during spooky season.
