The Reanimator's Soul by Kara Jorgensen

4.5

---

I loved the first book in this series, and Felipe and Oliver are delightful together. This book felt more tense and stressful than book one, both with the ~conversion therapy but for magic~ murder mystery plot, but also with Oliver’s doubts about how unlovable he must be. He also is forced to work with one of his exs, who sucks, and repeatedly encourages Oliver’s worries that Felipe obviously is going to tire of being stuck with him, and leave eventually. I didn’t really enjoy being stuck in that headspace for so much of Oliver’s chapters, but at least anytime we switch over to Felipe, there is no doubt that he loves Oliver and doesn’t secretly hate his autistic traits.

I can’t wait to continue the series, and am eagerly anticipating book three.
