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.

An achingly beautiful novel depicting the immigrant experience as seen through the hard work of low wage jobs and how we treat those in this country who live on the margins. Highly recommend.

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.

Very interesting!!!!

I enjoy the Women's Murder Club books a lot. They usually center around a particular murder mystery. This book, however, had three different plot lines, and the chapters kept jumping around. I found it disconcerting, so I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others in the series.

Best friends treat each other nicely.

Very fun! Definitely re-living the Twilight days, but at an adult level and Jacob is the winner. Wouldn’t say that this book is winning any awards - but a very entertaining way to spend time!

My favorite book of the year! I may be a *little* bias because I went to elementary school with the author and am a super proud friend. A page turner and complex relationships that leave you wanting more!!

A wonderful twist at the end that you don’t see coming!

"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."
