This is one of my favorite webtoons to read. It’s paranormal detectives, mystery, will they won’t they romance, and pure fun. There’s high stakes and the building to something much bigger with multiple enemies to worry about.

My favorite moment in Volume 2 is when Ichabod and Ellie get a little down time and she tries on this beautiful dress and dances with him. In the middle of all the chaos. Dealing with a mark on her hand that binds her to something she’s not even sure about. Dealing with this world of magic and monsters she just recently came to know to be true. Dealing with knowing there’s something coming that is evil and scary and yet, they have this moment together. They don’t know if the next fight or the next will be the end of them, but they took the time to share a moment of joy. That was so beautiful to me.

The beating heart of this WEBTOON are the characters and their relationship to each other. The art style and the unique monsters and mystery are all fun and entertaining. However, in the end, because the characters have such beautiful and real connections to each other, that’s what makes this WEBTOON unputdownable. I loved it.

I cannot wait for Volume 3!

This is a very satisfying continuation of this graphic novel. I can't wait till the next volume. I have really become invested in Ellie and Ichabod.

Let me start by saying I am in love with Ichabod. Meredith Moriarty, how did you create a charming and sexy character with a pumpkin head?! (it's the suit, right?)

Volume Two is a collection of a few more subplots while we continue with the story of Alice's curse, Oberon's meddling and Ichabod's past. Loved these chapters and I'm so ready to read more and see how the whole series comes together.

Life’s funny. One minute you’re jobless, deep in debt, and on the verge of eviction; the next you’re in a fight with a monster and getting a job working for a paranormal detective with the head of a Jack-o-Lantern. It’s an age-old story. 

I'm coming into this with the 2nd volume but thanks to the summary in the beginning I had little trouble catching on.

I loved the characters, especially Ichabod, the pumpkin headed boss of this gang.
We pretty much have everything you could want here; witches, demons, and monsters. Even a potential romance...
The art work is great and the story is very cohesive.

Perfect for the Halloween season.
Thanks to @netgalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group | WEBTOON Unscrolled for the opportunity to read this eArc in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Absolutely loved this! The plot is getting so interesting - Ichabod is still a mystery, the tension between him and Ellie!? I'm totally side-eyeing those demons and I'm not sure what to think about Alice? I binged this in one sitting and admittedly was very sad when I ran out haha. I need moooorrrreee! The author has a way of hooking readers and the art feels spooky yet somehow cozy?

All in all, definitely recommend it! Especially perfect for spooky season!

A big thanks to Webtoon and NetGalley for the ARC, all opinions are my own.

The story of the clumsy but determined, Ellie, and her pumpkin-headed boss, Ichabod, continues in this story of magic, monsters, and mayhem. That's right, the second season of the WEBTOON comic “Third Shift Society” by Meredith Moriarty has been released! Time to dive into the story!

Don't worry about forgetting anything in the story - it happens - because there's a quick summary in the beginning.

New challenges (and drama) emerge, especially with the arrival of Maris, Ichabod’s witchy ex. And the stakes rise as they face cryptic witches, mischievous demons, and ancient monsters.

The illustrations are detailed, with expressive word bubbles that make even Ichabod’s pumpkin head emote! Moriarty continues to balance action, humor, and character growth, delivering a solid follow-up that fans will adore.

Overall: “Third Shift Society” Volume Two is an entertaining journey through a world where the supernatural feels both dangerous and oddly charming. Whether it's a showdown with demons or a ghost with a mysterious past, this graphic novel packs a punch and leaves you wanting to read more.

Rating: 4.8/5 Pumpkin Heads! 🎃

I love this story and I'm happy to see it in book form! I've been a fan of this story on Goodreads for a while, and I enjoyed getting to re-read it in book form with this NetGalley e-book.

Moriarty has crafted really interesting characters, and in this story, she takes them on new adventures while deepening the mystery. I really like our protagonist, Ellie, and I've enjoyed following as she learns more about her powers and starts to get a handle on her blue flames. I also love Ichabod-- he's kind and protective, smart and quick on his feet. His story is growing even more fraught, and in this book, we find more questions than answers.

The episodic adventures are pitch-perfect, showing how Ellie and Ichabod are learning to work together, overcoming their weaknesses with training and teamwork.

The art is great, the story is fun, and I can't wait for more!

I tore through this volume. I love the mystery and the side stories that all tie back together into the larger plot. The art is great. The characters are likable and I care what happens to them. I cannot wait to get more backstory about Icabod and Maris. I will certainly keep following this story to see where it goes!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book before publication.

I fell in love with volume 1 when I read it, and was super excited to see volume 2 on NetGalley. The art captures the characters and action of the plot beautifully. The relationship between the 2 main characters is growing at a realistic pace and deepens the story further.

If you like ghost hunting, supernatural fixers for hire, and a sweet relationship between the main characters, then this series is perfect for you!

I can't wait for volume 3.

Volume 2 of Third Shift Society is an exhilarating continuation of the supernatural adventures of Ellie and Ichabod. Moriarty masterfully blends humor, heart, and high-stakes action, drawing readers into a world where the bizarre becomes routine. The artwork is stunning, with vibrant colors and dynamic panels that capture the chaotic energy of their battles.

Ellie’s growth in both confidence and psychic abilities is a joy to watch, making her an endearing and relatable protagonist. Ichabod’s unwavering support and quirky charm provide a perfect balance to the eerie mysteries they face. The introduction of cryptic witches, sinister demons, and ancient monsters raises the stakes, and every new twist feels earned and thrilling.

Moriarty’s storytelling is sharp, fast-paced, and sprinkled with humor, ensuring readers are hooked from start to finish. This volume leaves you eagerly anticipating what comes next, and it’s impossible not to root for this unlikely duo. If you love supernatural detective stories with heart and humor, this graphic novel is a must-read.

Thanks NetGalley and Webtoon!

What a great volume 2. My patrons are going to love the second one as much as the first! This was a great find and I look forward to more character development. This volume gave more insight to Ichabod and some backstory including a former love interest, Maris who is also a witch. Maris is a great addition to the series who is helping Ellie figure out her powers and what the mysterious mark from Annie means. The duo still have the usual hijinks investigative storyline and looking forward to the next one!

Webtoon is killing it with their series finally being published in a physical format! I haven't read one I haven't loved yet so thanks so much from a huge fan.

First off I love anything supernatural that also has a play on icabod crane in it. So I was sold the second I picked up the first book.
This definitely lived up to the hype and left me hanging for more.
I need to know where this story is going and what is going to happen next.

The second volume is just as good as the first volume was!

I love that we got to learn more about Ichabod's origin story, Alice, and what Oberon and Titania are up to. I thought the crypt was super cool and I love how they solved that problem. I like that we jumped back into the story exactly where we left off in volume 1 but I dislike how this volume ended; mostly because I have to wait so long for volume 3 before I can find out what happens next, ugh.

I started reading this series on Webtoons and absolutely love it! I can't wait until more comes out as it has me chomping at the bit! perfect if you're into paranormal mysteries and stories where normal people see what usually goes unseen. I recommend this series all the time and can't wait to introduce it to my library when I can convince our graphic novel person to do so haha.

The adventures of Ellie and Ichabod continue as they continue their magical pest control business. Ellie will learn more about her powers and about Ichabod's past.

The second volume picks up right where the first left off. Ellie's confrontation with Alice leaves her with a new magical mark that she must figure out. I was interesting to see more of the supernatural characters.

Ellie and Icabod are on another case and this time they're teaming up with a man named Liam to help them this time!

Ellie with her psychic powers and Icabod her detective boss with a pumpkin for a read, well there isn't any mystery that they can solve together!

Ellie and Ichabod are back! Ellie has been training and learning more about her powers while also tracking down who and what Alice is. Then there is Oberon and his strange link with Ichabod. We also learn a bit of Ichabod's past while the pair deals with exploding houses, gobs of skeletons, and cryptic witches. It will be interesting what the duo will face in the next volume!

I've been waiting for this moment for so long! If you remember I read vol. 1 last October and I absolutely loved it! I still adore the art so much.

The first Val ended on a pretty intense cliff hanger, so I'm happy it picked up where it left off. I also appreciated the re-caps cause it has been almost a year. Not going to lie Ichabod is still weirdly attractive lol

It’s really just a direct continuation to vol. 1 so there's not much I can say without fear of accidentally spoiling something. But if you like paranormal shenanigans and lovable characters consider picking this one up! Would make the perfect quick Halloween read!

This sucked me in and kept me reading on!

I have not read the first volume, and even so, this was a spooky storyline that kept me drawn in and reading on to find out what happened next! A unique plot with a variety of interesting and otherworldly characters, this is perfect for anybody who is not afraid of the things that go bump in the night.

Warning, this is SPOOKY!
