Oh my goodness. Can you say ADORABLE?! Fangs was so funny and cute. The art!? Oh goodness, how I loved the art! I’m so thankful I was able to download this arc. Fangs is absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy. This story was so heartwarming.(never thought I’d say that about a vamp/were story) The characters were adorably awkward, charming and witty. I enjoyed their dialogue so much. This was such a fun read.

All of my thanks to Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Super cute comic about the relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. I love Sarah's Scribbles, so I was excited to read this book. I thought it would be more of a graphic novel, but it's more of disjointed comics on one topic, which was still entertaining and funny. I do wish it was more of one cohesive story - I was able to read the entire thing in a very, very short sitting. I love this artist though and enjoyed the book.

«A unique, tender and even comical love. It has a charm that bewitches you from the first page. I fell in love with this romance between monsters that are the cutest. One of my favorite readings so far this year »

This was adorable.
Romance between a werewolf and a vampire seems complicated, but Sarah Anderson's one page comics are at turns hilarious, murder-y and sweet.
Despite the fact that each comic is sort of a day-in-the-life, there is a bit of a narrative that flows through the book. Meet Cute to Happy Ever After.
This will be a fun book to re-read.

I read an early copy of this book from the publisher for review.

Fangs is an irresistibly sweet and charming comic that had me flipping pages well through the night. I absolutely loved the characters and the writing, and have become an instant fan of Sarah Anderson! It's funny, charming, and incredibly clever, and I'll absolutely be recommending this one!

Big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I would say that each page depicts a scene of beautifully mundane love but there isn’t anything mundane about vamp or wolf.

Elsie AKA vamp: If Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service developed a taste for blood and black lingerie
Jimmy AKA wolf: Legolas but give him Roland Schitt's beard and a pair of beat-up Chucks

This is absolutely precious and I laughed SO HARD. I’m utterly in love right now with both vamp and wolf, and the author’s wields her endearing-as-heck drawings and economical sense of humour to great effect. (Seriously, the one panel where wolf throws open the curtains and vamp goes FWOOSH had me in stitches.)


Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The back of the book says it all, "a love story between a vampire and a werewolf". At the basis of this book, it is a a simple story of two people falling in love, they just happen to be supernatural,

It deals with the quirks of being a vampire and werewolf living a mainly normal life in the 21st century and how this affect the small, day-to-day things in their relationship. Some of the scenarios that these two get up are just plain hilarious. I counted and I laughed out loud 18 times while reading this. I don't outwardly laugh while reading so this surprised me. Not only is it hilarious but this book brings a slice of life approach to the paranormal romance genre.

When I first started reading this, I was surprised at first by Sarah Anderson's decision to write more of an adult romance novel with its use of sexual innuendos and adult themes. I quickly adapted and quite enjoy it. This is a great addition Andersen's bibliography, with her Sarah Scribbles roots showing but still being an original graphic novel, I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed her previous works,

This novel is addicting and so easy digestible. The story is presented in a non-continuous manner - providing bit sized chapters. The relationship between Elsie and Jimmy is just so quirky and cute. Not only so they have great chemistry which shines off the page but they also have great banter. I love some good banter in a romance. One thing I particularity enjoyed how the story didn't focus on the grand paranormal aspect of the story, I felt the slice of life aspect made me instantly relate to the characters and like them. It grounded their romance in reality.

My only complaint is that I wished it was longer. I flew threw this and now I need more. I would love for Andersen to break out of her story per page format and come out with longer chapters and more panels.

Thanks for the arc!

"Fangs" is a sweet and comical graphic novel that is a very light way to look at this unlikely match. The graphics are very simple and yet charismatic which I liked and the story being fragmented in moments translates very well to what the comic wanted to accomplish, to show the romance between this two awkward cuties.

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this eARC!

If you're looking for a short, sweet romantic read - this is perfect. This reads much more like a compilation of a comic series than a full graphic novel. However, the humor really hit the mark for me and I adored the artwork. Highly recommend to those who like Andersen's work and anyone looking for an adorable gothic romp through a romance.

Fangs is a short story of a romance between a vampire and wolf. It’s a story of loving each other for who they are and just being themselves without any ulterior motives or any other reasons. The comfort of being in each other’s company and loving them for who they really are.

It was a fun story that I read in one sitting. I love the illustrations; it was very beautifully illustrated, and I really enjoyed the short amount of time as I spent reading this book. That sometimes there’s really nothing better than to find a significant other who gets you, would act weird with you and love each other for all of eternity.

Sarah Andersen is mostly known for her comic 'Sarah's Scribbles'. This time, she wrote/drew a comic about a vampire falling in love with a werewolf. A unique love story combined with humor.

The drawings are simple, but fully reflect the style which Sarah Andersen is so known for. I loved the little details and how she played with light. The drawings are black and white, but she managed to make clear when it was day- or nighttime. Similar to the sun shining, or a cloudy day.
It's not really a story, which I find a bit disappointing. They are comics related to love and inside jokes. The book contains a chronologically order from the moment they meet and how their relationship develops.
The graphic novel contains lots of jokes and the humor is great. There were many drawings which made me laugh.

This graphic novel was a light and funny read. The story had showed opposites attract and had made fun of the stereotypes of vampires and werewolves. If you want a simple, funny story, this book is perfect for you.

Thank you for the publisher and Netgallery for the ARC.

Fangs is the cute and funny graphic novel tale of the unlikely romance between Elsie the vampire, and Jimmy, the hot werewolf she meets in a bar. It's a story about what happens when you get involved with someone so different from yourself but end up finding that sometimes opposites really are the best pairings.

The simplistic black and white drawings allow the visuals to tell just as much of a story as the words do without the feeling of needing more. It's the perfect coffee table book to pop open when you feel like having a little heartwarming smile. Personally, I couldn't get enough and was disappointed when I reached the end. It was funny, cute, and relatable, and this is one of those rare books I would love to own in hardcover.

Thank you Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Oh...My...Goodness!! This is so cute! Vamp meets Werewolf - Love ensues! Fangs is a collection of short comics telling the love story of Elsie and Jimmy and it is adorable. The simple art style fits with the funny puns and had me giggling throughout. Each panel is cute but the progression of their love story is what really makes this comic shine. If I was a person prone to book crushes I would be crushing on both of these characters!

I want your love, I mean BLOOD! Fangs is a cute and spooky comic by Sarah Andersen, who's talent shines through with her deceptively simple art style! I love Sarah's way of drawing a scene; in her case, it's quite true that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sarah's humor is witty and well done, sometimes it sneaks right up on you! The budding romance between a wolf-man named Jimmy and lady-vamp Elsie is a breath of fresh air for the vampire/werewolf genre, and an entertaining read to boot! Fangs was a quick read, but left me wanting more!

I am definitely not the target audience for this one. I chuckled a few times, but other than that I almost didn't finish it.

Fangs by Sarah Anderson is a nice graphic novel showing that even a vampire and a werewolf can fall in love. Seeing their individual struggles with their conditions, and how they support each other made for a lovely tale of romance between two unexpected companions. I can already picture a few of my students who will enjoy this book come fall.

Just finished it and totally LOVED it!! It is so cute, their relationship, the llittle jokes, and I love how the author plays with what we tipically know about this two creatures, werewolves and vampires, and mixed it in something it is not regularly seen, a cumple conformed by the two of them.
I really liked that they get a long so well, and they accept each other for who they trully are. Having a non conventional, but loving relationship.
It´s really easy to get hoocked, and fast to read. Great for that moments when you don´t have much time, but still you want to read something good.
10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely adorable! I laughed out loud literally multiple times. Sarah Anderson's illustrations are clean and beautiful. The stories were quirky and like small bites of sweet goodness. A five star graphic novel for lovers of horror classics.
