I liked it enough to finish it. I think it has potential to improve over time, but this was fairly unoriginal and lacking in nuance.

This was enjoyable! It may not attract as much attention as Lore Olympus did, but it is light-hearted and adventurous--looking forward to the next volume! I would recommend this to patrons who enjoyed Squad and Cosmoknights.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This was a fun and fast read with amazing illustrations and a great cast of characters. It was funny, a little romantic and kind of bizarre whilst having an intriguing plot too! Id definitely recommend if you like a fun graphic novel and especially for the spooky season!

Third Shift Society is a supernatural webtoon that is getting a physical release through Webtoon Unscrolled.

Ellie discovers she has psychic powers one day while saving a pumpkin headed man running from a monster. The man, Ichabod, asks her to be his partner and help him with his paranormal detective jobs. Ellie, figuring she has nothing to lose, agrees, and soon finds herself caught up in a magic world she knows nothing about. Where demons, witches, and giant bug men are the norm.
I have to say the story was fun and really hit the ground running with little explanation. It made for lots of quick, fast paced adventures. But sometimes, I was a little confused, wondering things like; "why isn't Ellie more shocked that she has this magical power all of a sudden?" and "How come no one else thinks a guy with a pumpkin head is a big deal? " But I feel like this is the kinda story that you don't dig to deep into yet.

Also, are we shipping Ellie and Icahbod? Are we simping over a well-dressed man with a gourd for a head? Because I feel like I am. Lol🎃
Overall, I enjoyed this story for a fun, quick read that's full of mystery. This one was a cliffhanger, so I definitely want to read the next volume.

A huge thank you to Netgally and Wattpad Webtoon Group, Webtoon Unscrolled for this free ARC copy. This review is my own opinion.

What a great read and just in time for the Halloween season. I love Ellie and Ichabod together, they are able to keep each other level headed as they face new supernatural cases.

My only problem with this book was the ending because now I have to wait, who knows how long, for volume two to be released. Sigh.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for an e-arc to read, rate, and review.

Ichabod and Ellie have spooky adventures hunting monsters. It's very much a cute version of Supernatural (the TV series). There is a cliff hanger, but I would love to see what happens next! Perfect for spooky season.

3.5 stars
I really enjoyed this book’s characters, the intricacies hinted at for their backstories, and the world this story has introduced to the audience. I have read the Webtoon for this story and cannot wait to see where the author may change the story from the original or add to the adventures I already know. Overall, this is an excellent quick read that’s perfect for fall.

I think this was a fun spooky season enthralling story with our pumpkin headed man that really laid the bad boy (bad pumpkin?) on thick. I loved the monster hunting aspect and her joining up with him to solve all these crazy things! The ending was interesting and I’d definitely consider it a cliffhanger. Overall it was unique and it held my attention!

i was super excited to be given the opportunity to read and review this novel! This was a fun read minus having to try and read around the watermarks which honestly was really distracting. The story line was fun and original and really liked the characters. I enjoyed the art and felt that it did a good job of holding the story line together. all in all i am curious to see what volume 2 has in store.

Really not happy with the reading experience of this arc. While I completely understand the publisher’s right to watermark ARCs, using a completely non-transparent paragraph with a disclaimer across half of each page clashes horribly with the flow of text on page. I mean, half of speech bubbles on each page were downright unreadable, because the disclaimer obscured the text underneath!

Other than that, it’s an okay story - it aims to be a charming paranormal investigators two-person show, but the depth is missing. After hiring Ellie, Ichabod and her rush into cases at breakneck speed, and there is very little room to develop the characters. I could feel a bit lore charitable towards it if I wasn’t so annoyed by having to decipher each text bubble!

I did not like this. The art was fine but nothing special. I was not interested in the characters or the plot, and the dialogue was difficult to read. I read about 3/4 and then quit. I didn't feel like it was worth my time.

Absolutely loved reading this book in October. One of the characters in the book has a pumpkin for a head, and that's just the best shit to read in October.

The plot of this book is super engaging and fast paced. The story line always has new things for the characters to interact with. I am looking forward to future volumes of this story, so that I can get some questions answered :)

Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, WEBTOON Unscrolled for allowing me this arc copy of this graphic novel.

Ellie is down on her luck and hit rock bottom when she stumbles upon Ichabod in a supernatural fight that changes her life.

I loved it. I was drawn into the book instantly from the first page. The art is lovely and clean and the characters are interesting. Ellie is flawed Ichabod is mysterious. The other characters don’t have much presence but I didn’t mind.

Some sequences introduced things that are intriguing and will probably be over-arcing throughout the series.

My only critique of the book was that it went very fast between action sequences. There were barely any breaks where we learned more of the world, seeing Ellie learn from Ichabod, or building a relationship between them. I would have at least seen one scene with these things.

My other gripe was with the water mark. Instead of it being translucent, they covered many of the dialogue bubbles to the point where I couldn’t read them.

I really liked this book. I recommend it for anyone who likes paranormal graphic novels without a lot of gore.

Thank you again for this review copy.

I LOVED this!! paranormal investigators with magical abilities with secrets woven in the story I was hooked from the first page honestly.

the art is amazing I loved it so much! That cliff hanger ending makes me so desperate to get my hands on vol. 2 😩

so good with a beautiful cover to match!

thank you Netgalley as well as Meredith Moriarty and the wonderful people from Webtoon unscrolled for an arc in exchange for an honest review! :)

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I actually started reading the Third Shift Society but then had to get a new phone and didn't download webtunes for a while. I'm so excited they're printing it!

The art is stunning and the story is interesting. Definitely recommend for fans of supernatural and other paranormal lovers. I will say it's not as dark as supernatural so don't expect it to be like THAT.

Where they leave off in the story is a major cliffhanger 😩 I won't give too much of it away but definitely recommend it.

This graphic novel has great potential. I enjoyed the spooky snakes. However the main character is annoying and the art and writing doesn't make up enough to make me want to read more.

Just perfect. Great intriguing story(s). Plot easy to follow with great conversations and topics. And art is just on point. I need more of this in my life!
