NOT ALL MONSTERS HIDE IN THE DARK.

Archer's Peak is in lockdown, as Erica Slaughter has lost control of the situation and news of the killings has spread outside the town. But as the House of Slaughter arrives to clean up the situation by any means necessary, Erica will find that the true threat to those around her isn't who- or what- she ever expected. And the cost of saving the day may be too high for anyone to pay."

My Rating: 4/5

This series gets continually more crazy every time I pick up a volume. It is not for the faint of heart and it really stretches the idea of how your imagination could literally take hold of something and run away with it. I think this series's creators have done an excellent job of upping the anti each time you pick up a volume. I can't wait to complete the series.

Thank you for reading,

"Erica Slaughter may have slain the monster terrorizing the small Wisconsin town of Archer's Peak, but now she sets off deeper into the woods- because the monster she killed was a mother... and now she needs to kill its children.

EVIL NEVER DIES... UNLESS ERICA SLAUGHTER KILLS IT.

Erica Slaughter may have slain the monster terrorizing the small Wisconsin town of Archer's Peak, but the horror is far from over. As her mysterious handler arrives in town to clean up her mess and quarantine the townsfolk, Erica sets off deeper into the woods-- because the monster she killed was a mother.. and now she needs to kill its children."

My Rating: 5/5

This was precisely what I needed a sequel to be it was horrifying and disturbing but also left the world a bit to the imagination. The idea that a whole house is out there working to fight monsters and control the humans' view of them was incredible. I enjoy the art style and while I find this story horror ESC. I would not say that I was overly frightened. I will be continuing with the series as soon as possible.

Thanks for reading,

"When children begin to go missing in the town of Archer's Peak, all hope seems lost until a mysterious woman arrives to reveal that terrifying creatures are behind the chaos- and that she alone will destroy them, no matter the cost.

IT'S THE MONSTER WHO SHOULD BE AFRAID.

When children of Archer's Peak- a sleepy town in the heart of America- begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. Most children never return, but the ones that do have terrible stories- impossible details of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows. Their only hope of finding and eliminating the threat is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to be the only one who sees what they can see.

Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it must be done."

My Rating: 4/5

This story was a quick but gory read. I enjoyed the art style, as much as you can when it's a gory horror graphic novel. The storyline was interesting and fast-paced. The characters were intriguing and the plot kept me reading. It was a quick read (in the daylight). I look forward to continuing the series.

Thanks for reading,
