Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "The Demon Of Beausoleil" by Mari Costa. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers to please keep that in mind!)
"In families touched by bad luck, during a full moon, is sometimes born a cambion. Horned, clawed and tailed, the small half demon child is often disposed of. Helianthes' family decide to keep him, and nurture him, despite his hellish condition. The rambunctious cambion, armed with a demon forged knife and a tired bodyguard imposed by his family, decides to take to the streets causing trouble and exorcizing demons."
I received this book as an ARC on Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read this is because as y'all know, I love queer graphic novels from my favourite graphic novel publisher Oni Press. So I jumped at the chance to apply for this one. Friends, I'm not gonna lie I went into this graphic novel knowing absolutely nothing and actually almost put it down because I thought it was going to be a bit too lewd for me. I'm actually really glad that I didn't. I ended up reading this graphic novel in one sitting because it was so just so witty, funny, and genuinely a lovely story about self acceptance and love. My absolute favourite thing about this graphic novel was just how witty and sarcastic most of the characters ended up being. Even though a lot of the story was lewd and funnily crass, it was still heartwarming and still sent across the message it was trying to portray. The artwork throughout was genuinely stunning to look at and I was so greatful we got a few extra little stories to see what ended up happening after the story ended. All in all I really enjoyed this graphic novel, and definitely will be getting a physical copy of it once it's out.
I gave this a 4/5 star rating on Goodreads!
This book comes out on the 27th January 2026!
