smintzo 's review for:

The Familiars by Stacey Halls
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Well written, atmospheric and intriguing. I love a book with hints of the fantastical that are largely grounded in realism, however this book was just a bit too mean with the fantasy for me. I very much enjoyed it, but would have liked a drop more witchery!
