Review:

Amelia Cole and the Enemy Unleashed is the third volume in the series but since I haven't read the first two I had to kind of figure out who the characters were and what was going on. It turns out that this is a world were magical and non-magical beings co-exist. However, it appears a group called the Council who is considered old magic has decided they no longer want to share the magic they now want all of it.

Amelia and her golem and a special magical team called the Omega Company not only try to stop these magic absorbing monsters that are rampaging through the city but also try to stop the Council who finally showed themselves.

I liked Amelia, her personality was really cool and her magic wand is a red wrench. This was interesting and the writing was good but it ended on a cliffhanger. However, it does make me wonder what will happen next for Amelia. I also like the artwork it was quirky and colorful.

Lastly, this volume includes five short stories at the end of the book that I thought were really good.
