5 posts | 7 read | 32 to read
Alena's life is a living hell. Since starting at the snobbish boarding school Alena's been harassed every day by Philippa and the girls on the lacrosse team. But Alena's best friend Josephine is not going to accept that anymore-not from the counselor or principal, not from Philippa, and not from anyone at that horrid school. If Alena does not fight back then Josephine will take matters into her own hands. There's just one problem-Josephine has been dead for a year. English adaption of the award-winning Swedish graphic novel "Alena," Movie adaptation made its US debut in February! ""Let the Right One In" meets S"how Me Love" set in a boarding school. Count on vengeance, violence and broken teenage hearts.""-Stockholm Filme Festival"

4.5 stars! Seriously, this book is DARK! I haven't read a straight horror graphic novel in decades, but this reminded me of a grown-up, European, long form version of a Tales From the Crypt comic from back in my youth. Even though I was reading 3 other books at the same time, I kept coming back to this one over and over until it was finished. Scary and fun! TW: violence, sexual assault.

And apparently there's a movie that now I must track down!

Just got approved for my first Edelweiss ARC and now I'm second guessing my choice here! Hold me! 😬😱😨

Dark. Horror. Female MC. It took the outcast/cruelty like Heathers, Cruel Intentions, Single White Female up darker notches with teenagers. And great art.

Ange44 That sounds amazing! 8y

This is pitched as let the right one in meets show me love set at a boarding school and I am 500% here for a bloody, dark, dramatic, female-centered graphic novel
