When Raven Moon returns home to NYC from her tour as a combat medic in Afghanistan, she’s hoping to put her life back together. Suffering from PTSD, her dreams are haunted after having her fiancé die in her arms during her last deployment. Only her father, Eddy Moon, seems to be able to make her feel safe. But then he is taken from her as well.
Raven starts her own investigation into Eddy’s death when the official police report doesn’t ring true. As Eddy’s secrets unravel, Raven discovers that there are monsters in New York beyond the human ones with which she is well acquainted. Her anger and her thirst for revenge push her to search for the creature that killed her father. She doesn’t stop to think about what happens if it finds her first.
Gates of Midnight is a supernatural thriller that explores just who are the monsters–the creatures that wait beyond the gate, admitted each new moon–or us, the human race.

Darque Dreamer –
Gates of Midnight is fast paced and action packed. It has strong characters, a hard hitting story line, and visuals to impress. If you love thrilling graphic novels, this one is for you.
Boy, has it been a while since I’ve read a graphic novel. Throughout my teen years I went through a manga phase, fascinated by how illustrations and drawings could tell a story with only bits of dialogue. Gates of Midnight happens to be the first graphic novel I have picked in up in over 12 years, and it did not disappoint me. It really captivated me with the art, and the way simple conversations could be so complex and moving.
I loved the main character Raven, and how she was so bad ass, like Buffy, but still had realistic qualities to her. She didn’t always win her fights. She suffered from PTSD from being a combat medic, and she was curious about everything. She was quite a strong, like-able character, and I can’t wait to see what happens to her.
I enjoyed the action and mayhem in this issue. I was thrown in the thick of it and loved the plot involving another dimension, warriors, and gate keepers. The story had danger, murder, humor, and emotion. I’m already hooked and dying for the next issue!
Thank you to Black Chateau and the publisher for sending me this free copy in exchange for my honest review!
