I really enjoyed the premise of the book and some of the terminology used but unfortunately it felt really flat to me, characters weren't very developed and I wasn't hooked by the plot. I would have liked to have seen more cohesion or a clearer arc. I think the character could be developed into something great though, a strong female protagonist is always welcome.

The book is good in terms of concept and I like that art, but that story did not draw me in 100%. It is a neat idea, though and I like that the main protagonist is a strong lady. The antagonist is also very interesting,

I enjoyed the vintage adventure novel romp through this graphic novel.

For a graphic novel, I really would have liked clearer, more engaging images. Language can be a little advanced, but as a whole, it is very suitable for middle grade students. Main character is likeable, strong female lead.

You'd think a graphic novel about monster hunting would be super rad but unfortunately this one ever so slightly missed the ball.

The plot was pretty cool. It follows our main character Scarlett as she tries to follow in her parents footsteps by taking on, you guessed it, monsters! Don't worry, there is far more to it than that. She also comes face to face with Count Stankovic (vampire?) and wants to take everything away from Scarlett.

My biggest issue with this graphic novel is, well... the graphics. I really didn't care for the artwork. It was pretty bland and flat and I didn't think it portrayed the characters enough to bring them to life. Everything felt so static but all in all, it was a good quick read and I do think a younger audience will enjoy it.

Scarlett is a monster hunter. She hunts monsters with her butler sidekick, Napoleon. This was too action packed with very little character development. It’s one action scene after another. We learn a bit about Scarlett’s backstory and what happened to her parents but there was so much opportunity to work on why she’s a monster hunter other than her parents died.

The graphics of many of the action scenes felt disjointed. My biggest annoyance was the car steering wheel being on the wrong side for England. It should have been on the right and instead it was on the left. If there are references to the Royal Academy and the money being Crowns, the car should also match the setting. I couldn’t get past it the first time I noticed it and I bugged me each time after.

An epic Victorian adventure with all the monster fights and cool gadgets you could wish for! Scarlett is a fantastic heroine and I'm left desperate for more of her adventures alongside her long-suffering butler Napoleon. So many questions are left unanswered about Scarlett's parents and the villains' nefarious plots that I hope this is the first of many Scarlett Hart adventures.

I didn't love this like I thought I would. It's a cute, enjoyable book, but missing something to make it extra special. For me, the artwork isn't a style I'm a big fan of and the world-building, or lack thereof, was a little confusing at first. I did like the main character and the kinda mash-up of Batman, Supernatural, and Sherlock, but the pacing felt off to me too.

Good, quick read for someone wanting creepy, but not too creepy monsters with a likeable main character.

Scarlett Hart is carrying on her parents legacy of monster hunting. In this adventure, she is up against not only monsters but the evil Count Stankovic, who wishes to see Scarlett arrested and her home taken away from her. Fortunately, Scarlett has the loyal Napoleon and Mrs. White on hand to help her.
Scarlett Hart: Monster Hunter is geared toward middle-grade readers - the language, concepts, and illustrations are on point for the intended audience. I think this book will be very appealing to a wide audience of kids.

Scarlett Hart is the orphaned daughter of two famous monster hunters. The Royal Academy for the Pursuit and Eradication of Zoological Eccentricities (TRAPEZE) feels she's too young to follow in her parents' footsteps, but she is determined to do it anyway.

This graphic novel has darker colors, possibly because of its noirish theme. With her reddish hair and the "Leaping Lizards!" when surprised, Scarlett makes me think a bit of Lil Orphan Annie, and what she would be like if she had a butler and gear to hunt down monsters. This is targeted toward the 10-14 year old age bracket, which is probably why the plot is fairly straightforward. The art is a little on the simplistic side, especially when compared to other steampunk/ Victorian era graphic novels, but it's still engaging and easy to follow. The action sequences are more suggestive than detailed, but this is still a fairly engaging read.

A light monster-driven bildungsroman. Likely to find fans amongst readers of gothic novels, adventure lovers, and readers interested in strong and competent female leads.

This book was just... not good. I kept waiting for a twist or surprise or anything to make the incredibly obvious plot more interesting, but it never happened. Orphan monster hunter girl hunts monsters. Bad guys oppose her. She triumphs with the aid of her loyal retainers. That's it. The art was not good. There was just nothing redeeming about the book. It was boring and predictable. I expected better of Marcus Sedgwick.

YA author Marcus Sedgwick (Saint Death, Ghosts of Heaven) writes for middle grade with the start of a new series about a teenage monster hunter following in her parents' footsteps. Scarlett Hart is the orphaned daughter of legendary monster hunters, determined to carry on the family business. The only thing is, she according to the Royal Academy for the Pursuit and Eradication of Zoological Eccentricities (just call it The Academy), Scarlett's underage, and hunting monsters is against the law. Luckily, Scarlett's manservant, Napoleon, is there to help, driving Scarlett around London and acting as the face for her kills so they can get paid on hang onto their family estate. The sticky wicket is Count Stankovic, her parents' - and now Scarlett's - archrival, who always manages to show up and take credit for her work while threatening to rat her out to the Academy. Naturally, the monster situation gets out of control, and Scarlett roars into action, danger and the law be darned!

Scarlett Hart is a fun monster-catching adventure romp, with a dieselpunk feel and a spunky young heroine. Thomas Taylor is the original illustrator of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and knows fantasy art. There's humor, adventure, and fun to be had; a nice start to a new graphic novel series. Give these to your Delilah Dirk readers, and consider re-introducing readers to Shannon, Dean, and Nathan Hale's Rapunzel's Revenge and Calamity Jack.

Excellent. Loved the illustrations and the storyline. Scarlett and her butler were a true delight and I really fell into the story. The villain was suitably nasty and his comeuppance was well deserved.
It felt like Sherlock Holmes meets goosebumps. Highly recommend for any girls or boys aged 10 and under.

The premise to this Graphic Novel was good, the first few pages introducing Scarlett, her sidekick, her profession, and her archrival were good. Then the storyline got clunky. To me it felt like a young Sherlock Holmes got mashed up with a Victorian Lara Croft.

Still, I can imagine that kids will like it.

Great adventure story! Scarlett is carrying on the work of her parents, who were monster hunters, before their unfortunate demise. A couple of nasty baddies, some fabulous monsters, some with very large teeth and some great vehicles. A strong female lead character, fantastic illustrations, can't wait for Scarlett's next adventure.

I couldn't get into this graphic novel which upsets me because I loved the premise for it! It just didn't draw me in at all and the dialogue was...odd. I can't describe how but I agree with another reviewer who said it had a kind of awkward writing style. I also wasn't a fan of the illustrations but that's my personal preference. I like sharper lines, not this style that makes it look blurry around the edges..

Great graphic novel for young people who like monsters and adventures stories. It features a strong young female lead and while the story is simplistic it gives the background of the main character and some insight to the city she lives in. This quick read should appeal to reluctant readers.

Enjoyed this book so much. Scarlett Hart was a perfect female character! Strong and wonderful plots and characters. I can't wait to read more from this series and from this author. Received a free earc for a honest review from Net Galley

Scarlett Hart was a fun graphic novel. I really enjoyed the story and hope there will be more of them! I love stories about monster hunters and the illustrations were really good. Won't' be putting up any reviews until closer to date but wanted to let you know I read it.
