SQUAD by Maggie Tokuda-Hall
Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5
This graphic novel was SO good I actually HAD to post a book review SOMEWHERE so you guys could read it too.
Maggie Tokuda-Hall wrote one of my top reads of last year: The Mermaid, The Witch, and the Sea. I didn’t think that could be topped, but a good werewolf story with lesbian rep? Hell yeah!!
Paired with the clean, colorful artwork of Lisa Sterle, it’s the perfect recipe for to invoke the chilly, crisp days of autumn with what feels like a very well made Halloween special, even if Halloween never comes up in the story at all. It takes the traditional werewolf story, mashes it up with a sort of Heathers vibe, and never says sorry.
While there is sensitive subject matter in the graphic novel, I did find it a very fun and engaging read. Don’t hesitate to research the content of the book if you’re concerned, and make your own decisions on if you feel comfortable reading it anyway!
