Graphic Novel Review 5 out of 5 stars! "Tell us what you crave! Follow our instructions and we'll make it happen!" A college campus is gifted with a new, mysterious app. One that allows you to satisfy any desire you might have in the moment helping to match you with those who will succeed in sating the hunger.  Only something seems off and David along with the help of three others will get to the bottom of this. But could the four of them be too late?! This was a fun erotic, thriller with mystery and some suspense. I believe this is the complete volume (issues 1-6). I enjoyed the fast pacing of the story and how the college lecture we got pieces of during the beginning of the story correlated with what was to come. Questioning social media and how powerful and self crippling it has become. How we don't really know who's actually behind the screen. Authenticity and real connections are questioned in this read. David's a top-notch student trying to do his best b...
