If they can’t work it out, there will be a gruesome race. But it’s not quite that simple, and for once, Sam is scared. This foe knows quite a bit about her, and the things of which she cares.

Whew
Shit. Meet the fan.
Giving some big Dexter vibes while also turning the dial up to 11.

[Denise · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the best one so far but still okay. We finally discover who has been killing the citizens of Woodbrook - besides Sam of course. Sam tells this person to stop essentially stop shitting in her backyard as is bringing on too much attention. She's got herself a stalker...joy. Only this stalker has become a little miffed that Sam doesn't appreciate them and sets her up to take the fall for their as well as her extracurriculars. There's only two issues left and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I knew it! I knew it was that rat-faced kid!

But Sam had it coming, too. They both need to answer to their crimes.

This comic line is so disgustingly good and I can’t NOT wait to read the next one. If you like horror and criminal events this is definitely a must read 🐻🔪🐭

OH SH*T, it all went to hell real fast!

Lucky me, Goodreads had a little hiccup and reminded me to check for the new issueof Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees; and what a pleasant(?) surprise it was.

Stalkers are never a good thing to have, much less so copycat ones.

Sam is in quite a pickle as we speak. Hard to see how she can live laugh love out of this one.
I CAN tell you that I'm definitely looking forward to it, though.

Well that escalated quickly!





Sam confronts the Woodbrook Killer, and as you might expect, it does not go well. Remember when they find all of Dexter's bodies in the water? Or when he's processing his own trophy slides? Yeah, that. The tension really jumps, and Sam (for once) is actually scared.

Sam, by the end:

[Alicia · Rating 5 out of 5]

The audacity! It's essentially a mystery that is unraveling before a readers eyes and while there are few surprises the expected outcomes are still shockingly delicious. As the cover of this issue reveals, there's a new player and that is the teenaged mouse Nigel who lives with his mom at home though has *always* been watching Sam and knows what she does in the city, where she buries the bodies, and that she is a murderer. HOWEVER, the murders in town are all Nigel's doing and Nigel thinks there might be an opportunity to team up but Sam will NEVER work with someone else and is incensed that Nigel knows about Sam-- though we assume the wheels are already turning in her head to save herself and make sure she escapes.

The tete-a-tete between the two of them was spine-tingling!

Issue #4

Yeah, this was one where I was just not the target audience.

I admired the premise and the execution. The story made me feel super icky.

Normally I keep this in my private notes section, but I'm moving it. Yay!

That god damn fuckin rat!!! Beneath the Trees continues it's impressive streak of compelling storytelling, engaging plot and beautiful art. The story has a crescendo as our protagonist and antagonist finally meet with completely different reasons for killing that make them incompatible with each other. I thought the backstory presented was a bit quickly for my tastes, but I think they are a good foil to protagonist's calm and emotionless, collection.

OoOoOoOooooooo shiiiiiiiit! Guys, gals and non binary pals .... This book is getting SO FUCKING GOOD. I loved every issue thus far, but this one takes the cake (get it... Cuz Sam bought cakes to.... Yeah yeah I like puns. Whatever). The fact that he knows and is looking to expose her is SOOOO wild. How is she gonna get outta this shit?!

I keep joking this series is Calico Critters meets Dexter... But it really is true y'all. It's so fucking fun.

[Daniel Freer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy *$, I did not see that coming and man this is just so great

That was a surprise and just such a sweet turn that I was like ok, we know, I figured and it just goes great. This has been my favorite issue yet and reminded me alot of the season 1 of dexter with his brother and the last season with the brain surgeon, not that it's the same at all just the way things kinda play out and motives and other things. Really have loved EVERY panel of this series so far.

[Kayla Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars

Oh shit things are getting intense in this story! I loved the reveals that we got in this issue and I am having such a good time with this series. It is so dark and eerie and I love it. The motivations of these characters and the things that they are willing to do is just wild and I cannot wait to see how Sam will get themselves out of the situation that they are in now.

Also, how dare Charlie be a target. That was so rude.
