Sure, the description and title sound awesome but the cover is just gorgeous! It pulls me in because I want to know why the lead is the center of attention. Those ghosts are bugging her and I need to know why, and she doesn't seem to phased... just annoyed? We meet Daphne and she's going off to university. Her roommate seems crazy and locks her out of her room and her boyfriend breaks up with her, because who doesn't love drama day one of being away from home? And then she runs into a pole and finds herself at a creepy mansion. Normal Tuesday for most people, right? And then she sees GHOSTS. Because life can't get any more crazy. And boy, are they SASSY. But Daphne makes friends with these ghosts and it seems like a grande idea! To make it better, these ghosts have different abilities too. Life gets complicated for Daphne, and her and the ghosts have to learn to deal with all of the drama that comes with being a new adult. Oh, and they're all very quirky too. Some like her, some don't. On top of that, we get to see some of their pasts to understand them and their ways (and deaths). I LOVE THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL. Seriously, it just hits me in all the right places. I can relate to Daphne, I love the ghosts and their quirks and I think it's just super fun. I did have a chuckle because there are stars **** for swears. It had me giggling a bit, but I totally filled the words in with my own choices. Why not? I'm an adult. It's fun. I've gotta say, I really enjoyed this graphic novel! If more volumes come out, I really want to dig into them because this book is so delightful! It's the type of story I've been looking for for a while. Fantastical, new adult, amusing and dramatic all wrapped up in one. I would say it's the perfect mix for me as a reader. Five out of five stars! Other Notes: The variance covers in the copy I got were BEAUTIFUL. Seriously, I love them! I can totally see why this cover is the original, but the variants are also pretty to look at. Other Notes 2: WHY WOULD IT LEAVE OFF LIKE THAT?! Ugh. Cliff hanger! I need Volume 2 ASAP! Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for sending me a copy of this book to review! It's much appreciated! An unsurprising but pleasant dramedy of a teenager moving into a haunted house and hanging out with the ghosts who live there while her relationships with real people fall apart. The writing is a bit awkward and clunky, but the characters have charm and the ghosts have an appropriately dark edge despite the fun ectoplasmic housemate vibe. I'm putting a hold on the next two volumes at my library to get the full story. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Rycroft Manor may be old. It may be abandoned. It may even be haunted. But Daphne Walters doesn't care about any of that-it has a pool and the rent is free. New to LA, coming off of a bad breakup and having a pretty terrible week, Daphne might need to crash on this haunted couch for a while, but having undead roommates might be more than she bargained for! Will the dead be able to help Daphne find the life she's been missing in the big city? From GLAAD Award-nominated Sina Grace (Iceman) and illustrator Siobhan Keenan (Clueless, Jem and the Holograms) comes a story about finding your way in Hollywood, in love, and in the afterlife.

This comic series centers on a girl following her boyfriend to L.A. for college. Not long after she gets there, he breaks up with her and she wanders around by herself at night. She comes across a large, abandoned mansion and ventures inside. She quickly realizes that she isn't alone; there are about 6 or 7 ghosts living inside this house. The other 3 issues focus on her interactions with these ghosts. There are flashbacks that show how they died and what their lives were like before.
I think the premise is really interesting but overall, I didn't love this volume. The main character was not very street smart. She is completely new to living in L.A. and decides to go into a mansion that looks empty and slightly creepy without telling anyone where she is. I would like to think that in real life, people don't do that. At least I hope that girls my age are smart enough not to wander around by themselves in cities they don't know. She was also annoying at times. I feel like she got over the fear of the ghosts far too quickly.
I would consider reading another volume in the future. ( )
