Coven: A Graphic Novel

By Jennifer Dugan

In this queer young adult paranormal graphic novel, a young witch races to solve the grisly supernatural murders of her coven members before the killer strikes again. “[This] gorgeously illustrated tale mashes together murder mystery and witchcraft.”—Nerdist “Visually stunning . . . An engaging queer teen witch story that doesn’t shy away from the realistic tensions of loss and uncertainty.”—School Library Journal Emsy has always lived in sunny California, and she’d much rather spend her days surfing with her friends or hanging out with her girlfriend than honing her abilities as a fire elemental. But when members of her family’s coven back east are murdered under mysterious circumstances that can only be the result of powerful witchcraft, her family must suddenly return to upstate New York. Emsy needs to quickly master her neglected craft, and she soon discovers that when united with her coven, she is stronger than she ever could have imagined. Eager to find the killers before they strike again, Emsy and her new friends begin to dabble in spells beyond their control—dangerous rituals that have the power to return everything they’ve lost. But that kind of magic comes at a price, and the farther down the path of darkness they go, the less likely they’ll be able to find their way back to the light. These witches are playing with fire . . . Can they solve the murders before they get burned?

If you are a teenager - or like myself are a 37 year old teenager - and love Sabrina, Charmed or A Discovery of Witches, you will love this book. It is a quick, easy and entertaining read and has such a crispy autumnal feel and was a lot of fun to read during the dog days of summer when you just can't wait for it to be fall!

I love witches in modern day settings.

I think these characters should have been in collage/university. Seems weird a high school kid has a box of sex toys.

Graphic novels are not my thing, so this was a challenge. (I don’t think my brain knows how to process it together) Having said that, I really enjoyed the story. I hope there are more coming. The artwork is also gorgeous.

I have very few words for this book other than average. It felt like it wanted to be good but wasn't willing to commit to an
