One of- if not THE- best books I have read in the past year. Andrew Joesph White is quickly moving up the ranks of my favorite author with only two books. So immersive, I would have finished in one sitting if time allowed (I even took it out to dinner with me). Take those content warnings at the beginning seriously though- DEFINITELY dead dove don't eat.

Totally gruesome, but also really moving. A balance I think Andrew Joseph White strikes really well in all of his books. Despite the violent and gory nature of his stories, there's always a very human story at the heart of it and in Spirit, I found myself once again rooting for the characters to be okay.
Though a historical setting, I wouldn't say it's historically accurate in all aspects, so that's worth bearing in mind going in. I would also recommend checking triggers as there are quite a few graphic surgery scenes, but I was hooked (despite not being a horror girly) and couldn't wait for vengeance to be meted out.
