“The beast standing there is a creature that is believed to have gone extinct a long time ago. One of the most powerful beings in this world. A werewolf.”
Before Lumine met Kody, he was a down-on-his-luck weredog with nowhere to turn. Now that Lumine has a job as Kody’s bodyguard and a place to live, his life should be simpler. But things are only growing more complicated. Kody is still doing everything to keep Lumine at arms length, mysteries are piling up, and witch kids are going missing.
Lumine tries to protect the antisocial Kody from his bullies, but can’t figure out why popular witch girl Calla is doing everything in her power to make him miserable. And there are more questions surrounding the brooding teenager—how come his magic doesn’t work properly? And why is there a cat-shaped spirit haunting him?
Plus, Lumine has his own mystery to solve. He is a werewolf, a rare and powerful type of magical being thought to be extinct, but he can’t transform properly. Lumine is stuck in either his human form or as a tiny puppy dog, and has no idea why.
When danger closes in on Kody, Lumine does everything to protect him, even at the risk of revealing his big, fluffy secret. To keep each other safe, the unlikely duo will have to unlock the mysteries of their powers . . . and figure out how to get along.

Omg!! This one was action-packed and intense!! I loved every minute of it!! There’s a bit more glimpses into Kody’s past in regard to school and the bullying. There was also some interesting things with Lumine going on. You’ll have to read to find that out lol
But this one was so, so good and I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here!!

I started this series years and years ago but the final part came out in November so I decided to finish it even though this isn’t a series I would probably pick up today. It’s a quite melancholic series, it’s adventurous but with a lot of painful topics and loss involved. I feel like the series ended in a bit of an odd spot and the whole vibe was different than what the story originally was, but it took 6/7 years for the author to finish so that isn’t surprising.
(This review is for the second half of the whole story)

Lumine’s Volume Two ramps up the action with Kody getting kidnapped, and Lumine is determined to save him. As the two boys continue to grow closer, you can really feel the development in their relationship. Lumine’s determination to do his job well and protect Kody shines through, even as the tension of the situation increases. It's clear that Lumine is trying his best, and it’s heartwarming to see how much he cares for Kody, despite Kody’s initial resistance.
This addition does a great job building the suspense and deepening the emotional stakes, while still maintaining the charm and humor of the first book. The cliffhanger at the end is sure to leave you eager for the next volume. This is a great continuation that keeps you invested in both the action and the characters.

Actual rating 3.0-3.5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Webtoon for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Lumine by Emma Krogell is a werewolf paranormal fantasy set in a world not so unlike our own. in Volume 2, the mysterious young Lumine still seeks acceptance from Kody as his bodyguard, and has learned more about Kody's secrets at school--that he is bullied at school for his witch powers. While Volume 1 was fairly slow and focused on exposition, Volume 2 is a bit faster paced, as more characters are introduced and the world and magic rules are further explained. There are some plot-significant fighting scenes, as well.
This is a solid example of a series in which the reader can observe the creator's growth over the course of each chapter--the contrast between Volumes 1 and 2 demonstrates the potential of Krogell's growth as an artist and as a storyteller, and I can only imagine the progress that continues from there (more chapters are available on Webtoon, should readers want to see for themselves).
That said, this does feel like an early work in Krogell's repertoire, as some of the dialogue can be a bit stilted on occasion, and some of the character interactions can seem a bit awkward. Still, this is something that improves with practice, and I look forward to how the series develops in later volumes/chapters!
Readers who enjoy this series may also like: Animorphs by K. A. Applegate, any works by Erin Hunter, The Witch Boy series by Molly Knox Ostertag, How to Become a Dragon by eon, Urban Animal by Justin Jordan and John Amor, Jackson's Diary by Paola Batalla, and Wolf's Rain (the anime).

In a world where Werewolves are a mythical creature amongst mythical creatures, long since gone into extinction; a small orphan were-boy runs the streets after he’s fired from his bodyguard job for being a bad bodyguard. Lumine is taken in by a witch who works as a detective that does the jobs that the police just can’t do. He’ll become the personal bodyguard for his son, Kody, who is secretly being bullied at school for having a curse as a pet.
Volume 2 brings us right back to where we left off with Kody getting bullied and physically harmed by the children at school because of one girl who just doesn’t like him. His father doesn’t know and he wants to keep it that way. He also has no friends, knowing that anyone who’s friends with him will have to deal with the same things he does. He just doesn’t know who to trust, so he trusts no one!
There are some big mysteries solved in this book (obviously things we already knew) and we finally get answers to some important questions. Most of which doesn’t happen until almost the end of the book. And although it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, it might as well, because I just really need to know if Kody finally starts to trust Lumine.
Thank you to Webtoon Unscrolled for gifting me a copy of the book. It officially releases on November 26th, but if you just can’t wait and need to know what happens next, it’s available now on WebToon! If you’re like me, you’ll need the physical book, because I like to read things all in the same format and I started it this way!

I received an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Secrets are unveiled, friendships are torn, and Lumine still can’t figure out why he can’t turn into the werewolf he’s meant to be. In this second volume of the hit webcomic Lumine, Kody is still as moody as ever, as Lumine defends and protects his charge (Kody) from bullies at school. Things change between Kody, a witch, and Lumine, a werewolf when Kody gets kidnapped alongside his nemesis from school. Can Lumine come into his full power before it’s too late? Or will he and Kody succumb to their weaknesses at the very end?
This was fantastic! I love reading the Lumine webcomic from Webtoon. This second volume comes together in this stunning graphic novel, full of questions, violence, and a mysterious being at the end of the book. Kody and Lumine’s friendship borders on staying alive after Kody is kidnapped and to be sold on the black market. I was so happy when Lumine came into his power, aka The Werewolf. I can’t wait for volume 3, or perhaps I should catch up on Webtoon instead…

I received this as an ARC copy from NetGalley.
I would like to start off by saying thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book as an ARC. I bought the paperback of the first book in order to read the second, and I’m so glad I did. I finished both of them in one sitting.
The art style is incredible, the characters’ emotions show to be quite complicated for their ages, and I love that these books show the effects that bullying can have on someone.
I loved this book immediately for the beautiful design. I loved it even more for the plot and the characters.
Lumine is so sweet and protective. Kody is definitely going through it and trying to deal with everything on his own while others try to prove he doesn’t have to.
I really like the friendship that they have and how we can see their dynamic more clearly.
I will definitely be looking for these in the future as the rest of the story is told! Thank you so much again!

Thanks, NetGalley for the ARC.
I absolutely adored this book. The graphics are beautiful and the story was exciting from page one. I am already obsessed and can't wait for the next one to be released. I can't wait to find out more about Lumine's backstory because this one left us on a cliff hanger and now to patiently wait for the next volume. Lumine addresses different issues children have such as not fitting in, bullying, and friendship. I will definitely recommend this to my patrons. They are going to love this series!
Lumine is a werewolf, who is the bodyguard of another child named Kody. Kody often finds himself in trouble and is being bullied at school. Lumine wants to help but Kody doesn't want help. Lumine has a job to do now that witches are being kidnapped but he also has to protect his own secret!

Thank you NetGalley and Webtoon for this ARC for review.
Lumine Volume two is a story of an anti-social boy named Kody who has trouble with the bullies at his school. Lumine is a were dog who vows to protect Kody even though both of them are having trouble with their powers, and Kody is not letting Lumine in. This book has beautiful graphics and a story that will be identifiable to many kids. It has a found family feeling and touches on real problems even though we are in a fantasy world.
There is quite a lot of violence in the book so I would say it is for older audiences.

I’m just sitting here binge reading graphic novels and this one is my fav! I love the story line and the art. Im on the edge of my seat and rooting for each character. In such a short time frame I feel connected for the main characters and want them to be okay 😂 can’t wait for the next volume to come out in July!

Thank you so much to Webtoon for sending me a copy of this graphic novel to read and review.
Why did I wait so long to dig into these??? I love it ahha. The artwork is amazing, the storyline is so cute of a kid who can turn into a cute little puppy gets fired from his body guard job and finds an even better gig and then finds friends and helps others find friends and reconnect yes please. I read all three volumes back to back and it’s adorable and I’ll continue to read them.
I’d recommend these to everyone.

Oh, how I wish this was around when I was in middle school and high school. I absolutely love how this story is progressing, and I can't wait to read more of it. I love the action in it. What's also great about this series is that I can read it with my daughter, who also loves it.
Thank you, Netgalley, and Wattpad, Webtoon Books for this eArc. This is my honest review.

This series is my 11 year old's current reading obsession and I was so thrilled to have the chance to read these alongside him. The story line is mysterious and magical, with real world difficulties and great artwork. These have been so fun to read (and discuss in detail with my kiddo) and we can't wait for Lumine #3 to be published!
May 12, 2024
I love this story, it's about a kid who is bullied and everyone avoids him because of his bully. Codys and his new friend who is the cutest little white puppy who has a secret too are the cutest friends. I love watching as these two grow closer and can't wait to see where their story goes.
July 29, 2024
Ive never read any of the Lumine comic before but I really like the idea of it! I think the art is a nice style and while we have 2-3 different plot focal points they all seem to be moving at a decent pace. Ill be interested to see where else this one goes in the future!
August 8, 2024
I love the art style of the author. The mystery of what’s really going on with Lumine’s lineage has me intrigued.
Kody is a witch but he can’t use magic without coughing up blood.
Kody’s dad Aiden is investigating the kidnapping of witches.
The ending was a cliffhanger! Can’t wait to read more!

Okay, I love a grump and Kody is about as grumpy as they come. He is giving black cat vibes and our poor baby Lumine is just trying to be his friend. Obviously being his body guard as well is tricky but he is trying so hard.
The art is phenomenal and I cannot wait to continue the series.

Volume two comprises of episodes 15 to 29 of the webtoon.
This picks up where Kody is being bullied in school physically and emotionally. He continues to keep this from his father even though his father has his suspicions. Early on in this volume we see that Kody did have one close friend, and due to Kody being standoff ish and weary because of his past he loses his friend.
Lumine is desperate to help Kody and wants to be his friend, Kody is stuck in his old ways and is worried about getting close to any one.
Also, Lumine is worried about a strange shadow cat he keeps seeing around Kody, he thinks it may bring harm to Kody or others.
Lumine continues to try to be the best bodyguard and is staying as close to Kody as he will let him, but when Kody gets past Lumine and heads home from school, he ends up being kidnapped by people who are out for his blood.
Lumine hunts down Kody just in time to save him from the kidnappers as they are starting to cause some serious damage.
In the heat of the moment Kody realizes he isn't able to protect himself and Limine is there for him , this whole scene is heartwarming and shows the bond the boys are truly growing with each other, even though Kody is resistant.
We also learn a that Lumine may not just be your average weredog.
This series continues to keep my heart pulling for more. The boys are growing together and I can see that they will have more ahead of both of them and they are learning to count on each other.
The art does a wonderful job at really conveying the emotions as well as drawing you in.
The writing is fantastic , its readable for a middle grade reader ( my daughter read this as well and Loves it, shes obsessed and wants more) Its also very readable for an adult.
