Customer Reviews

Peak😭

I’m not really into this genre, but I saw a YouTube video on Beneath the Trees, and it made me want a copy. It turned out much better than I had anticipated it to be. A little bit of ketchup and lasagna here and there, and I definitely wasn’t expecting the crazy ending. But honestly Patrick absolutely COOKED with this one. Would definitely watch as a show or film adaption.

Thought this was just a great piece of art.

Read it quick but it was just great and very glad to own it. Would definitely recommend.

Page Turner

The cutesy animal art style and cheerfully drawn expressions is rather deceptive to the darker elements of the story. Like if Dexter was turned into cartoon. The twist and reveal makes it a page turner, trying to figure out who the other killer is alongside Sam. Highly recommend reading it. Only word of warning- this is not for children.
