I thought this was one of the better books in the series. As with the others, there is some gore. The illustrations are done very well.

We have had our first real snowfall of the season. Which means people forgot how to drive again. Which means I‘m not leaving my house today. I have been saving this book for just such a day.

Whenever I get to the end of a series that I've enjoyed, I always procrastinate on the last book. I've learned that the ending is so crucial to me it'll make or break the entire series, and sometimes I want to hang on just a little longer before I know the truth.
What a great ending to the series! I really enjoyed riding along with these characters through this magical world. Well done, right to the end.
This is such an emotionally satisfying volume to wrap up this series. I felt like I was racing through the last couple of volumes trying to make it through the series, but now I'm sad that it's over, especially because Hill and Rodriguez stuck the landing so well with this one. I appreciate the character nuance and development in this series so much, and these characters have left a mark on my heart for sure. 🗝
"Saved but not saved. Okay but not okay. Isn't that just completely fucking human?"
"You ever find a cat sleeping in a ray of sun? There's a sound over there. It's a golden sound. That's the only way to describe it. It's a bright sound, and it has little flecks of music in it, drifting like motes of dust. And you just know if you let that sound get inside you, if you hummed along with it, you'd rest like a cat in the sun. A perfect rest."

On prom night, Dodge finally has the Omega key to open the Black Door in the caves. And in his favor, he has all the keys and the Crown of Shadows. Ty and Kinsey repair their relationships with friends. Then, they are swept into chaos, and Dodge reveals to his ultimate plan. Luckily, Ty constructs a key that aids him in getting Dodge back into the Wellhouse. In the end, past mistakes and old wounds are mended, and the Locke family is reunited.
Entering the final installment of Locke & Key tonight! Will Ty and Kinsey be able to stop Dodge from opening the Black Door, or will they fall prey to the demon, and his evil deeds?
This is the best graphic novel series I‘ve read in a very long time. It reminds me of early Clive Barker in that there‘s a clever mix of magic, fantasy, and horror. This final volume wrapped everything up perfectly.
I‘m excited to watch the Netflix series now (although trepidatious as I‘ve heard it‘s not as good.)
Thank you for the loan @Eyelit ! It‘s ready for you now @ThePageantHam 😊
So good! I‘m so sad it‘s over but I really enjoyed the story line and the ending.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Of course this is a pick!!!! It hit me in all the right places. Now to binge the show :)
Also good rule to live by :)
Starting this one either tonight or tomorrow morning :)
I obviously loved this series since I read all 6 volumes today. Now to start watching the TV series.
Final volume completed late last night. Just completely blown away by this series. I think I was screaming at my Kindle when everyone seemed to not understand what really happened to Bode.

I‘m sad that there‘s no more Locke & Key, which took me about two weeks to devour, but at least I have the tv show to watch!
I also finished this month‘s #nonfictionnerds group read (we‘re on Goodreads!) I thought it was a fascinating look at the author and her history.
Ugh so much tears I shed reading the last and final book of the Lock & Key series such an amazingly fantastic graphic novel series so much.
I‘m saving this because I don‘t want the series to end. 🖤
Wow, that series was a punch in the gut in all sorts of ways. This had horror, mystery, romance, drama, fantasy, all of it! So many parts were hard to swallow (TW for some) in different ways but the story keeps you hooked- you want to make it through and you want the "good guys" to win. Also props to illustrator- I feel especially like this last volume was just packed, every frame required close attention.
Amazing!
“Brutal,” is what the staff at Chicago Comics told me when I bought it &, as always, they were right. At long last, Lucas (Dodge) has everything he needs to unlock The Black Door. You know nothing good can come of this, right? Tyler, Kinsey, their family & friends haven‘t given up the fight & unlikely heroes emerge in the battle that has been building since the very first issue. It does not disappoint. A good, & yes, brutal ending to a great story
Quick trip to Chicago Comics today for:
Deadpool #1—I‘ll read anything written by Skottie Young
Locke & Key Vol. 6–It‘s the end & the staff told me it‘s “brutal”
Deadly Class Vol. 5–Marcus & his fellow classmates are messed up, untrustworthy, & creepy & I totally want to know where this story going...besides what is clearly the darkest corners of the writer‘s imagination... A(very) good “I‘m not sure I should like this but I totally do” comic.
This graphic novel series is definitely now one of my top favorites. Just finished the last of them and ♥️ every minute of it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I just finished the final volume of Locke & Key. This series has been my favorite #FreakyFriday read so far. I may have shed some tears through this one.
Well this was a wild ride! Volume 6 is the epic conclusion to this series that is both terrifying in a supernatural and real sense. I laughed, I cried, and my mind was blown by the creative team of Hill and Rodriguez. Such an amazing and beautiful series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sooo good! I'm glad I finally got around to finishing this. Now to hunt down the one-shots...
Well, I finally finished it! 😭 As a whole I'd give this series close to 5 stars, it's probably my favorite graphic novel series now. I'm sad it's over! Although I'm looking forward to reading the extra volumes. Any recommendations for similar series? (Or just an awesome graphic novel series in general?) #joehill #graphicnovel #horror

Am I nuts or does this look like Stephen King? Well played Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez! @TricksyTails I thought I was tripping out for a second like the time I was watching Sons of Anarchy and a man who looked just like Stephen King showed up to play a small but memorable part! (Spoiler alert, it was SK!) 😄

Time to find out how it all ends! Chipper wishes everyone a happy Monday! 😻#Chipper #CatsofLitsy #graphicnovel #joehill
What a great ending to an amazing series! I binge- read the whole set within three days and was absolutely blown away by the story and the artwork. Just found out that it‘s being turned into a show too. ❤️ #recommendsday
Locke & Key Master Edition Volume 3 (not the tagged book) sadly marks the end of the series. This was one of my Christmas books and I just devoured it in one sitting. This was a great ending to the series! 😿

#GingerbreadHouse Inspired by 'The Upside Down' in Stranger Things...😱🙄
Figured this one was perfect to go with my review of the final volume of this wonderfully creepy series!😎
A satisfying conclusion and wrap up to a fantastic storyline.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!🎅🎄🎁
ASIDE: How on earth the 'upside down' house doesn't fall off is beyond me!
@Ross I finally finished this series! The pay-off is so great. Overall, I give the entire series 4 and 1/2 stars. The characters make this, along with the art. They are complex, tragic, and funny. The sibling relationships really got me. These kids love each other, have each other‘s backs, fight, and call each other out. They are there for support when their parents can‘t be. I cared about these kids. You will, too.
Warning: Crying ahead. Beloved characters die in this volume. You will cry. But wonderful things will happen in this book also and you will be glad you stuck through it to the end. Read this book and the series before it!
My new favorite horror comic😄👍. What an amazing story! Joe Hill is right on par with his dad as a story teller. I can not wait for the show now! 💀🗝
This Broke me! What a beautiful book!
OMG! The last volume! It was so devastating and then It was so beautiful! 😭😭😭😭
The last one 😭😭😭😭
Time to spend the rest of the day reading to distract myself from thinking about Hurricane Irma 🙃
Found this in this Joe Hill book today at the library. Papa is onto your Satan ways Connor
Looking to finish these two series this week. A Series of Unfortunate Events has been good, but the writing style is wearing on me. Locke and Key, on the other hand, has been excellent!
No of course I didn't cry whilst reading a graphic novel. That's just silly 😳 Trixie loved checking out the books I am reading. #litsypartyofone #catsoflitsy
So sad I am about to start the final volume of Locke & Key 😭#litsypartyofone
