Synopsis:

Hell and damnation! The Bruja is missing! When the most powerful witch alive disappears without a trace, Norah, her 17-year-old niece, decides to investigate. But upon entering her aunt’s manor, she interrupts a summoning ritual and finds herself face to face with the devil… Or half of him, anyway, as he has been cut in two and is now stuck in a pentagram. Unable to return to Hell without Norah’s help, Lucifer agrees to assist her in finding the Bruja—a devilish task when you’re the most feared and hated being on the planet!

Review:

I’ll start this review by being completely honest, I decided to read Devil on Her Shoulder because of the cover. Well, the title also piqued my interest. It’s safe to say I wasn’t disappointed, which I’m very happy about as this has come back to bite me multiple times. 

I have to begin the actual review by talking about the art style. I was completely blown away by the amount of detail in this graphic novel. Usually, I don’t like overly detailed/busy pages, but Devil on Her Shoulder was absolutely gorgeous. 

Norah’s character design was so beautiful. I loved her style and also the colour palette used. Basically, I’m a sucker for pink haired characters and Norah might be my new favourite. 

The actual story was quite chaotic and I honestly didn’t know what was going on for the most part, but it was interesting. I love anything witchy and Devil on Her Shoulder was really fun.

I’d definitely be interested in reading more stories set in this world if that is something the author has done/is planning to do. I’m also interested in finding more of the illustrator’s work. More graphic novels in this style would be incredible. 

Overall, Devil on Her Shoulder was a fun read that had absolutely gorgeous artwork. It fell a little short on story comprehension for me, but that could possibly be a translation issue. It’s a bit chaotic, but I’d expect nothing less from a graphic novel about witches and demons.
