Welcome to Litsy!

I'm so glad I didn't give up on this series. The art work is getting much better than the first two volumes. In this story, Dodge is still searching for the black key and finds a shadow key to try and get what they want from the kids. Meanwhile, the mother is falling apart drunk and on a downward spiral. Really good story and loved the shadow monsters.

This is a re-read for me, but still as great as the first time I read it.

I think this volume is my favorite in the series. Joe Hill does such a great job of giving you just enough story to keep you wanting more.

The Locke children are pulled further into the dark mysteries of Keyhouse, the keys, and dark lady while dealing with personal issues, school, and making new friendships. Kinsey finds a clue to caves behind the wellhouse, and Luke--the Dark Lady disguised--makes his deadly moves once again. Keyhouse reveals the Shadow Key, which allows the user to control shadow figures to do their bidding. Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode face the dark lady once again.

My other half suggested I read these comics before we watch the show. I read a review that said book three is where it starts to get dark...which given the things that occurred in the first two has me a little nervous. I came to the realization that I might be a PG-13 kind of reader. 🤣

Reading “homework” time with the teen.

Undoubtedly one of my favorite graphic novel series so far. @Eyelit I‘m really enjoying these, thanks for the loan!

Kinsey‘s new friends are great, and they remind me of my band of misfit friends in high school. We absolutely would have gone to the cave and gotten into trouble.

It‘s sad watching the mom spiral deeper into her drinking. I want to see her start healing.

#Sietje is already on Squirrel Patrol this morning!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great continuation of the story and left me wanting more. On to volume 4...

Finished another volume in the incredible series. I watched the show as well. Lots of differences and the show is a bit watered down compared to the comic. So far the comic is winning for me.

Awe this one made me a little sad. Just the pain of losing someone you love and having you feel like you are torn at the seems was so prevalent In this volume that it ached me.

But of course I must keep reading!

So I lucked out! They are all available at the library (for some reason I wasn‘t able to find them at first)

I watched episode 1 but was torn. I really wanted to finish reading the series first and.. well I wasn‘t sure if I was feeling it.

But... now I can finish this series !!!

When Joe Hill says it won‘t be too gory, you have to watch, right?

Also, 😆 this made my night!

(PS: check out the Netflix YouTube channel for the first 10 minutes of episode one)

Another fantastic graphic novel series that I so love and enjoy so much.

I‘m glad I found this series after it has wrapped up the ending, because it is addicting! Starting Vol 4 tonight and I already requested the last two from the library.

I feel like I‘m in a creepy, horror filled scavenger hunt, but every time a key is found I get excited!

The raw emotion and pain in this volume was so powerful. 😢

Each volume gets better and crazier. Bode and Kinsey have to be my favorite characters. This story is so original and captivating. I can‘t wait to see what happens next! #comic #graphicnovel

This series is addictive!!! I want to find all the keys and learn all the secrets of Keyhouse. Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez make one hell of a team!

And on to the next volume. With a kitty trying to get in the way.

Oooo, I wish it would get dark already! I heard that this one gets even more creepy...

The shadow key makes for some creepy moments and the mother needs to get her shit together.

Loving this series so far

Once again I got completely sucked into the story. I can't wait to see what happens next! Problem is I thought the whole series was available on ComiXology unlimited but it's not, so now I'm going to have to wait on the last three volumes from the library. 😒Oh well, I've heard patience is a virtue (I wouldn't know anything about that!😱). 5⭐️#graphicnovel #joehill #horror

So awesome!!! 🤗 #briankvaughan #graphicnovel #joehill #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Daaaaamn, they did it again! This is (and the others) is a #bestsequeloftheyear for sure! #decktheshelves @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

Who wants to slap a b*tch? I do, I do!!

Whoa. Let‘s start with the obvious—great story & fantastic artwork (especially the shadows). This dark, creepy, maudlin & occasionally epic story also has the mystery of the keys—where they are hidden &
what exactly they do—a family struggling to stay together & the drama of teens navigating new schools & new lives. Oh yeah, & there‘s the ancient evil that wants revenge. Hahaha—lots of drama, less laughter but always very good.

I suppose if I stopped and wondered about my reading brain, I‘d find myself a bit bemused. From fairy tales to robots and now to horror, my reading tastes are all over the place (or I‘m just a bit restless) today. Since I‘m enjoying everything and it‘s all very entertaining, I think I‘ll just roll with it. This series just keeps getting better and better too. Love Locke & Key.

Reviewing this and then calling it a night. I have another freaking migraine. I‘ve actually had one all week. Otherwise it really would be a #LitsyPartyOfOne. I‘d have a glass of wine with my book like I see so many of you doing. Instead, I‘m whining and not reviewing. Not as scary as volume two unless you‘re afraid of the dark.... Still, I wouldn‘t miss it for the world; this is a pretty terrific series.

⌛📖🌠🌙😪 #Deweys24HrReadathon #Readathon #ForTheLoveOfBooks #BooksInBed

And that's a wrap for me!!

Even though I got a pretty late start, I had a great time as always, because how could u not enjoy a #Readathon?! 🤓

Happy reading to those still going (I applaud you!) & happy dreaming fellow bookworms!!😪😴😴😴

I can't resist! Let's start volume 3!

This series started out pretty dark and keeps getting darker! 😱 It's so good though!

This seems fitting for #JuneTunz prompt today. #SoulMeetsBody @Cinfhen

Loved this one. Spooky & scary.

Who would have thought I'd be reading comics!?! Joe Hill does not disappoint.

😂

Check out my full review here: http://ericarobynreads.blogspot.com/2017/04/graphic-novel-review-locke-key-vol-3...

This series is really fantastic! So smart, so engaging. I'm loving it! #GraphicNovel

A really good book and a really good series. The artwork is amazing, and the story gets better and better. Creepy and graphic.

I am in love with the artwork in this book!

This comic keeps getting better.

It's been a while since I read Vols 1 & 2, so maybe this is on me. But I feel like there were big gaps in continuity with this installment, even within the book itself. A line here or there refreshing my memory might have gone a long way to improving my experience with this one.

Here's the plan for September:
1 Beta read (not pictured)
2 ARCs (not pictured)
4 Book Club reads (S., My Grandmother..., The Nightingale, & Girl on the Train)
1 Graphic Novel/holdover from August's series splurge (Locke & Key #3)
1 I borrowed (the Pico Iyer book)
And all the books I really, really, really, really, really want to read but haven't gotten to yet 😩
Thank God for long weekends📚📚📚

I'm really enjoying this series. On to the next one.
