Trese: Murder on Balete Drive

★★★★ // Trese is such a cool heroine. I like that she’s kinda emotionally detached. My favourite chapter / case was the one with the Tikbalang. The race was really cool. One thing I like about this as well is the pure, unadultered Filipino brand of humor. I learn a lot about myths, too!

I am excited to read the other volumes, but unfortunately I only have until Volume 3 + Bloodlines. Might have to wait until next year for Vols 4-6.

Side note: I watched the animated adaptation on Netflix and really enjoyed it. I hope it gets a second season because we definitely need more of Trese and the gang.
