Sisters with emotional baggage grieve their other sister’s death. I enjoyed the writing style and the characters were interesting. Ending was satisfying!

The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

It was OK slow start

Simon meets a dog that has a bone better than his. The trick is... this bone belongs to Simon's reflection! Funny story that leans toward acceptance.

This is my first graphic novel. While I liked the story about Raina's life as a teenager - so many things that adults and current middle schoolers can relate to - I would rather have read this book as a chapter book.

This was a cute novel

Great book! Loved the twist and turns

"In the Shadow of St. Anthony offers a gripping, horror-infused mystery deeply rooted in the unique character of its neighborhood and the mood of 1980s SoHo. If you're drawn to eerie, atmospheric thrillers rich in cultural texture and can also appreciate a narrator with imperfections and a slightly uneven pace then this debut will likely leave a lasting impression."

Chapter 19 - In this chapter Jude is learning from the "Ghost" who is teaching her how to spy for Prince Dain. The Ghost is showing her how to kill, camouflage herself, and leave undetected. She is doing this in the name of Prince Dain - but prior to this assignment, she was not a person who killed.
