A review by aethrawrites
Odd Spirits by S.T. Gibson

4.0

POV: Third Person 
Genre: NA Urban Fantasy 

Can you tell I'm on a spooky read roll? 

I love that we get to read about a nerdy magician and a sassy tarot witch navigating AA the turmoil in an already established marriage. Characters who learn from their shortcomings >>>>

Meet-cute in a candle shop? Doodles and scribbles about recipes and magical spells and planetary motions all in one timeless notebook? Blood dripping from the eyes of portraits on the wall? Shattered glass? Tarot cards and pentagrams and loads of subtle imagery to pull you in a spooky house where something is haunting the walls ✨🔮

The writing is evocative (see what I did there??) and reads like a fairytale! We go back and forth within timelines, which can be tricky to execute but was very easy to follow here! 

This was a short and sweet introduction to S. Gibson's witchy world and I look forward to picking Evocation next! 

Also the illustrations and the inclusion of tarot cards??? GORGEOUS. Make me want to own a physical copy at some point.

(Thank you to the author, Angry Robot and netgalley for an e-ARC in exchange for a honest review)

PS: I saw a lot of reviews mention biphobia, and I can safely attest to them being untrue for the revised/rewritten version of the book that I got to read.
