Lovely tale of star-crossed lovers who find they have more than fangs in common. Cute, funny, endearing. Can't wait to get this in for our readers.

Funny, sweet, with just the perfect amount of crazy.

I've been following Sarah Andersen on social media for quite some time now, and was thrilled for Fangs to be finally published!
The book is a collection of short panels telling a story of a vampire and a werewolf, and their relationship. Full of quirky, paranormal shenanigans presented in a cute drawing style!
I would recommend it to anyone, really. It's a fast read and doesn't require the reader to be super involved in the whole story, which is a plus in this case.
But if you like paranormal romance, then this book is a must!

Let's start with the Art it's simple, black and white and adorable.
This tells the love story of a vampire and a werewolf, their time together, first date, first Time, first full moon.
It's sarcastic and they laugh a lot of the culture that we have about those "monsters" and I enjoyed the dark humor and the dog jokes.
Perfect to read on halloween, it sets the mood with vampires and the werewolfs, but you have that romantic touch.

This book features enjoyable drawings and an overall cute story, albeit a bit cliche. I would recommend this to Sarah Andersen fans for sure.

Sarah Andersen is one of my favorite graphic novel authors because of her sincere and quirky sense of humor. When a friend told me about this new graphic novel, I jumped to it. I am that in love with her and confident that she won't dissapoint.

If the name of Sarah Andersen comes as familiar to you, its reason she is a published author and she is knows from Sarah's Scribbles. She posts free goodies, so be sure to check. Link is at the top.

At first I was very suprised to see her to pass to the dark side but she is such a talent that she can make everything delightful. With this couple she embraces dark sides of both characters and comes up with a lot of funny moment. This might be spoiler but, when they used a vampire's sun alergy to light incence, I thought this is the reason. This is why I love her this much. She can make ordinary things delightful. Her talent in making dark things light and adding a twist to boring classical stereotypes shines here.

Also the romance between vampire Elsie and werewolf Jimmy cannot be made this pecaful and funny. I hope to see a lot of books from her in the future.

If you have not met with Andersen, you are missing a lot.

This was a really cute read. Had me laughing a few times. I adored their relationship. How even though you are completely different. You always except yourself and the person you love. No matter the situation.

An absolutely CHARMING collection with just enough bite (har har) to keep it from becoming twee. Andersen continues to impress with the relatability of her characters, even when said characters are a vampire and a werewolf. The art and linework here is a step up from her well-known "Sarah's Scribbles" comics in terms of sophistication, yet Andersen's ability to convey emotion through simple facial expressions and body language remains outstanding.

My only quibble? That this isn't longer. One hopes Andersen will revisit these two in the near future with a second collection -- surely this concept and these characters have enough meat left for more material.

Sarah Andersen is just so funny and the cover is so pretty. The only flaw of this comic book is that it is too short. I loved the humour, the characters and the art. So many clever jokes. I will surely re-read this one. It warms your heart and the romance is very cute and fun. Don’t be surprised though, there is no real story here to follow but just lots of little jokes and moment of the relationship between Jimmy the werewolf and Elsie the vampire. This type of pacing is called “sequential art” and might be seen as “not structured” by some people if they are expecting one story to be told through the pages so be aware.

3.5 stars. The book is cute and adorable. The chemistry between the two main characters are AWWW..
Throughout the reading I was thinking that this is how the chemistry between Bella-Swan's daughter - Renesme Cullen (Vampire) and Jacob Black (WereWolf) would be in future. (Twilight Reference).

The art in the book is to the point and cute. I felt there is something missing. I got the feeling of incompleteness. Hence, I couldn't give full stars.

Thanks you NetGalley for the ebook.

Cute little book with fun illustrations. Vampire dating a werewolf and the romantic interactions they go through. No real story just a bunch of common conceptions and puns turned into sweet dating jokes. Thanks NetGalley for a copy of the ebook for an honest review.

While I didn't find this as laugh out loud funny as the authors other books I still enjoyed it. It was surprisingly sweet.

Are you a fan of Sarah Andersen’s “Sarah’s Scribbles” comics? Actually, you know what? It doesn’t matter. This adorable little graphic novel about a budding romance between a vampire and a werewolf packs a whole lot of heart into its 112 pages. I smiled again and again with almost every turn of a page, and I think you might too if dark humor is your jam.

FANGS is available now as an ebook and will hit stores in hardback September 1, 2020. Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute, very quick, love story about a vampire and a werewolf.

I'm pretty new to graphic novels. This one felt a little ... juvenile, I suppose. I don't mean that I think kids should read it. Just that it isn't very deep, it certainly isn't sophisticated, and the story is not well fleshed out. But saying all of that, I still enjoyed it immensely!

I do wish it had been in color though. I think that would have been really striking with the darkness of Elsie.

Who would thought a vampire and a werewolf would fall in love? Well Sarah Andersen did, and I felt all the feels when reading it. Reading the comics and listening to Lana Del Rey's Happiness Is A Butterfly made me smile uncontrollably and I loved every panel of it. I demand more pleaaaase!

A love story between a vampire and a werewolf, what doesn’t sound great about that? Written by Sarah Andersen, this book is a sweet and funny look into the natural course of a relationship between Elsie and Jimmy. Andersen does a great job of chronicling the highs, lows, and all the awkwardness that comes with being with someone who is so significantly different from you, and how you make it work! A huge fan of Sarah’s Scribbles, I found myself chuckling fondly at the jokes within this book, which will appeal to old and new readers alike. Whether you’ve read the webcomic or are new to it, this is a book that will be a quick and enjoyable read on a warm summer afternoon!

Thanks to Andrew McNeal publishing and netgalley for this digital ARC.

This was a lovely silly collection of one page comics. I thought there was a lot of humor and heart on every page and would highly recommend this title.

Not enjoying my current read and needed something quick and fun to read, so I decided to download this one off of NetGalley... and I am SO glad I did. An incredibly sweet and funny love story between a werewolf and vampire, Fang is exactly what I needed. Not to mention, I'm desperate for Fall to start and this gave me all those types of vibes. So cute and sweet. Found myself smiling from start to finish!

Anderson’s Fangs was hands-down hilarious! This is a love story between a vampire and a werewolf, and the dynamic and banter between the two was hysterical. The black and white color scheme added to the simplicity of the story while accentuating the hilarity of each character. Loved this one! Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this eARC. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I just felt like it wasn't a story but a more highlight reel of a vampire/werewolf romance. Like in a movie where they quickly go through all the flashbacks and parts of their life then get to the main story.

So typical of Sarah! She's my bias 🖤

Oh the puns.

And the sarcasm.

And the obvious fun illustrations.

This couple is the best!

The vampire girl and the werewolf guy.

Who would have thought eh?

Maybe my Twilight Saga dreams has been made to come to life. Maybe.

But yes, no Jacob vibes or Bella vibes.

This guy is more real and funny. And the girl is sassy real as well.

Damn, Sarah. We have got the same humour. You get me everytime.

When spoken out loud they may turn to lame jokes where nobody laughs but it's like our own joke when you draw and say it and me read and snort out of it.

I am so going to reread this one like her previous other Sarah Scribbles collections.

I love this woman and her work.


Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I FEEL SO BLESSED NOW.
(NO. I WON'T EDIT THIS ☺️)
