A review by dustilane
The Gifts That Bind Us by Caroline O'Donoghue

4.5

Maeve and her friends aren't ordinary teens. After the events that took place in the first book, they have formed a sort of coven of their own. But the work of the Children of Brigid is still not over which means there's no time to rest for the group of powerful teenagers.

I really enjoyed reading this book. There's something about O'Donoghue's writing style and storytelling that I find soothing. It doesn't help that I find all things magical and occult fascinating. I do think I enjoyed the first book more, but I still really enjoyed this one. With the way this one ended, I am assuming there will be a third and I will happily read it and probably enjoy every second of it. 

This book only proves to me that I was right in recommending the first one and I will continue to recommend this series! This is perfect for those who are interested in cults, Ireland, myths and legends, superpowers, tarot and the occult in general, and close-knit friend groups.
