Ilustration Conducive To Books Bitter Spirits (Roaring Twenties #1)
It’s the roaring twenties, and San Francisco is a hotbed of illegal boozing, raw lust, and black magic. The fog-covered Bay Area can be an intoxicating scene, particularly when you specialize in spirits…Aida Palmer performs a spirit medium show onstage at Chinatown’s illustrious Gris-Gris speakeasy. However, her ability to summon (and expel) the dead is more than just an act.
Winter Magnusson is a notorious bootlegger who’s more comfortable with guns than ghosts—unfortunately for him, he’s the recent target of a malevolent hex that renders him a magnet for hauntings. After Aida’s supernatural assistance is enlisted to banish the ghosts, her spirit-chilled aura heats up as the charming bootlegger casts a different sort of spell on her.
On the hunt for the curseworker responsible for the hex, Aida and Winter become drunk on passion. And the closer they become, the more they realize they have ghosts of their own to exorcise…

Bitter Spirits is book 1 in Jenn Bennetts new Roaring Twenties series. The best way for me to describe this book is TECHNICOLOR. This great mystery adventure has vibrant writing, witty dialogue, nail-chewing suspense, and features one of the most beautiful cities in the world, San Francisco. I love this setting. It captures the rich history and energy of the San Francisco I know and the one I imagine from the 1920s. The characters jump off the page. Aida can see dead people. Actually, she canThis was okay. Aida was interesting as a spirit medium in 1920s San Francisco and the setting makes that be a real thing. I liked how strong she was despite being tiny and that she stood up for herself even against Winter when needed. Which is no small thing as he's powerful and in more than just a physical way.The relationship was just about the only thing keeping me engaged in the story, frankly. I liked their back and forth and really liked how well each complimented the other. Offsetting

There are few periods in time that I have always been fascinated with and for whatever reason, the 20's just happens to be one of the few that I am, indeed, fascinated with.It might be the changing of times, how women were finally coming out of their shells and fighting for what they wanted. It might be the fact that the world was on the cusp of a war, or it might just be the fabulous fashion sense, either way, I have always loved reading about it and watching movies that take place during that
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsJenn Bennetts urban fantasy series is already on my auto-buy list so when Bitter Spirits landed on my to-read pile I couldnt resist opening it to see if her romance measured up to her action. And, it most certainly does! This authors ability to write stunning characters, magical universes and gripping plot lines transcends genres. I loved everything about this novel from the setting, to the love story to the oh-so satisfying ending. This is going to be a hard act to
Mon avis en FrançaisMy English reviewI was anxious to read this new novel by Jenn Bennett! If you follow me, you know Im a big fan of her Arcadia Bell series, and I was curious to read a new series by her hand. This time, she also completely changes the framework, not an urban fantasy series, but this time a paranormal romance one. But what a romance! This all placed during the twenties. And I confess that I love stories from this period, everything is always really fascinating.Aida is a young
