Locke & Key is much darker than what I usually read, so I wasn't sure how much I would like it. I came across it on Goodreads a few months back, and couldn't resist borrowing it from the library, and I'm so glad that I did. I ended up loving it! 
 In fact, I've grown to love this series more and more with each volume. It's stunning graphically, and the story itself is exhilarating and completely captivating! The characters are vibrant, and they jump right off the page. 
 There is some pretty graphic violence, adult content, and some strong language in Locke & Key, so I just want to warn anyone who might be offended by that. I was a bit shocked by the violence in the first volume when I started the series, but that's probably because I haven't watched a horror movie in years. :P At least not a really scary one! haha 
 I absolutely 100% recommend Locke & Key though! If you're a fan of graphic novels and aren't afraid to read horror stories, definitely give this one a try! The story will hook you and you won't want to stop until you're finished! The characters will become family and friends to you, and you'll be seriously invested in their survival! You'll cry with them, laugh with them, and hope for them. Trust me, everything about this story will pull you in...and if you're an emotional reader like me, you might also just spend the last portion of the final volume a big teary mess, and in the end, you'll have a ginormous grin on your face. :D
