Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story by Maytal Zchut... A Review

It’s a friendship to die for… or at least everyone else will.

Writer Maytal Zchut delivers a beautifully dark, atmospheric story about toxic friendships, revenge, and pure evil. Add in horror and the supernatural, and you get Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story. The artwork by Leila Leiz is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly complements the haunting tale of Sophie and Violet—lifelong friends, closer than sisters—until a tragic accident leaves Violet dead.

Sophie is devastated beyond measure. Her life unravels… until she stumbles into the hands of the Sisterhood, who promise to help her heal. But as always, be careful what you wish for.

That’s when the story truly takes off. I was flying through the pages, completely hooked. I loved these girls and their story—dark, tragic, and yes, violent. It begs the question: how far would you go for your BFF?

Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story collects all five original comics in the series and includes a chilling bonus story, It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour, where it’s “get fit or die trying.” It’s an equally twisted tale that tackles body shaming taken to horrifying extremes.

Put this on your TBR list! You'll have to wait a few months though... Image Comics will be releasing this on April 28th, 2026! 

I want to thank Image Comics for the eGalley of Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story! I really loved it.

Yesteryear by ..... a Review

Wow, my head is spinning a bit after reading the final pages of Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Here's the dirt (Literally)...

Meet snarky Natalie Heller Mills, pioneer woman/tradwife, and social media influencer who shows her millions of followers how life is so much better on Yesteryear Ranch, with traditional values, hard work (those cows aren't going to milk themselves) and farm fresh produce. No one need know that the kitchen is actually a top of the line kitchen with all the modern conveniences a girl could want, that she has two nannies for her "perfect" children, and that the crops aren't quite organic. And to top it off, she hires a producer to make all her content absolutely perfect... then one day, Natalie wakes up to find herself pulled back in time to the 1850's, where Yesteryear Ranch is an honest to goodness working farm, with no electricity, no modern plumbing and no modern conveniences. Plus, she has children that call her Mama, but she has no idea who they are. But she remembers children, just not these children. The one constant in all this, is her husband Caleb... who seems the same, but doesn't seem "right". What the heck is going on?! Is this a bad dream? Is she going crazy? You'll be desperate to find out.

Yesteryear is dark, funny at times, and it's also very sad. Want to know the price of fame and an Instagram account with a zillion followers? Ask Natalie. The story goes back and forth between both "worlds", with Natalie as our narrator. As she navigates both stories, we see the struggle she has with being perfect for the camera and for the people around her. As the reader, we get to see the persona behind her mask... and it's a doozy! I found her snarky, judgmental, and conniving. I didn't like her at first because of all those things, but eventually she drew me into her world and I couldn't stop turning the pages. She is a really interesting character! What a story! (BTW, we also get to learn about Natalie before all the fame, and that's a story in itself.)

This is definitely a must read for 2026. The way the story played out, in what seemed like two parallel worlds, was so interesting. And you're going to want to meet Natalie for sure... P.S. Lots of great discussion for any book club. 

Put this on your TBR list! You'll have to wait a few months... 

Yesteryear will be published on April 7th, 2026 by Penguin Random House
