Bitter Spirits by Jenn Bennett
4.0
I give this book a 4.5/5 stars because I really enjoyed it! The whole book had the perfect blend of romance and mystery/ suspense. I never knew what would happen around each twist and turn. The pacing was very well done because Jenn Bennett paced Winter and Aida's relationship throughout the book. Even in the last 50 pages it was still not certain if they would be together and I loved that. It made it very interesting and suspenseful. She also handled the plot very skillfully. I never felt that the book was dragging on, so it was a joy to read.
The book was set in the 1920's in San Francisco and I felt fully immersed in this time period. The characters felt real to me. The title of the book was also very clever. At first I didn't notice the double meaning, but as I read, it made sense. Bitter Spirits could mean ghosts or alcohol because Aida is a spirit-medium and Winter is a bootlegger. As this is a new book series, I can't wait to read Grim Shadows (book #2 in the Roaring Twenties series).
