{About: Daphne Walters moves to Los Angeles and finds that the only ones who can help her find love and live life to the fullest are the ghosts of her new home!
In Los Angeles, finding an apartment is killer—unless you live with the dead. Daphne Walters moves to Los Angeles for her boyfriend Ronnie, ready to live her happily ever after. But when happily ever after turns into happily for a month, she’s stuck in a strange city with no friends, family, or prospects for fun. Desperate to escape the lingering ghost of Ronnie’s presence everywhere, Daphne sets out to explore the city—and ends up encountering ghosts of a more literal kind! Rycroft Manor is abandoned, beautiful, and haunted. Will the dead be able to help Daphne find the life she’s been missing in the big city?}
Have you heard of this? What are your thoughts?
Bonus: If you had the option to live in a mansion with ghosts (that didn't want to kill you), would you?
Thanks for reading!! Also, super curious about your answers to that last question 👀

This graphic novel was more of a letdown for me but was equally unexpected. The main character has a fall out with her best friend and then as soon as she moves to a state she doesn’t know, enrolls in a college she didn’t really care for, the person she did all this for- dumps her.
Talk about sad and realistic.
I felt for our pitiful main character, and couldn’t help but to keep turning the pages.
What does she do? WHAT DOES SHE DO??
She finds a haunted mansion that everyone is terrified of that’s filled with ghosts, and begs to live with them.
Questionable decisions, really.
Especially
seeing as some of the ghosts are straight up like demons and try to kill her later, though most of them were awesome side characters that made the story for me. The only highlight of the story.
It really wasn’t for me, but I can see the enjoyable parts of it that others might really like.
Our main character wasn’t eaten by ghosts, thankfully, and then… that’s... yeah, that’s basically it.
I really wished there’d been more to the plot than just that and a
lot of backstories, but sadly that was literally it. I understand it’s quick and short and setting up for more, but it didn’t hook me or anything, especially not enough to read the next one.

Questionable decisions 😂😂 that made me laugh out loud. This sounds like an entertaining read if you can suspend all disbelief. Her ridiculous life choices would have frustrated me though. How do you find reading graphic novels on an eReader? I've always struggled unless I have a physical copy. Sorry this one didn't work too well for you but hopefully your next read knocks your socks off!
ReplyDeleteI read the first issue and wasn't impressed, so I didn't get the second. The MC was annoying, and I struggled with her choices and behaviors.

Yes! I felt pity for her at first but she just kept doing stupid stuff and was so hard to like by halfway through that I had to just skim read some of it!
