Narrative As Books Bitter Spirits (Roaring Twenties #1)
It’s the roaring twenties, and San Francisco is a hotbed of illegal boozing, raw lust, and black magic. The fog-covered Bay Area can be an intoxicating scene, particularly when you specialize in spirits…Aida Palmer performs a spirit medium show onstage at Chinatown’s illustrious Gris-Gris speakeasy. However, her ability to summon (and expel) the dead is more than just an act.
Winter Magnusson is a notorious bootlegger who’s more comfortable with guns than ghosts—unfortunately for him, he’s the recent target of a malevolent hex that renders him a magnet for hauntings. After Aida’s supernatural assistance is enlisted to banish the ghosts, her spirit-chilled aura heats up as the charming bootlegger casts a different sort of spell on her.
On the hunt for the curseworker responsible for the hex, Aida and Winter become drunk on passion. And the closer they become, the more they realize they have ghosts of their own to exorcise…

Mon avis en FrançaisMy English reviewI was anxious to read this new novel by Jenn Bennett! If you follow me, you know Im a big fan of her Arcadia Bell series, and I was curious to read a new series by her hand. This time, she also completely changes the framework, not an urban fantasy series, but this time a paranormal romance one. But what a romance! This all placed during the twenties. And I confess that I love stories from this period, everything is always really fascinating.Aida is a youngBitter Spirits5 StarsAfter becoming the target of a series of hauntings, bootlegger Winter Magnusson hires medium Aida Palmer to help him expel the spirits stalking him and discover the culprit behind the curse. As Winter and Aida work together, their mutual attraction grows but it seems that the ghosts of their pasts are more destructive than those affecting their present. Will they be able to heal past wounds and find a future together before it is too late?Warning: This is historical PNR not
I'm going to keep this very brief because Janice already told you all you need to know and stole all the good words. But I just had to add my two-pence worth and say I loved it too! Me, me, I did, I did!First of allthe era, the setting, the clothing, the language, the hints of magic, all layered together to make one deliciously sumptuous paranormal world unlike anything I've read before. I loved the 1920's detailsthey gave it such a unique flavour!Secondyou may or may not know that I have a
Winter is coming. And by winter is coming, I'm not making a reference to Game of Thrones.I mean that Winter is about to jizz his pants.Ooh, sexual excitement, you say? Not fucking likely. For a book so filled to the brim with people on the brink of sexual ecstasy, it was shockingly dull. I ate dinner while reading this book, and I was almost drowned by my enormous bowl of soup. Sex and eroticism should make me feel titillated. It should not make me laugh. Oh, Winter. Oh, God. Oh, Winter.Thats
**This review has also been posted on Tangled in PagesJenn may have made me give up my first born child but this book was worth it. Anything Jenn writes is worth it. This woman knows what she is doing. She has yet to disappoint me (TOUCH WOOD). When I started this book, I knew without a doubt I would love it and love it I did.When I heard that Jenn was writing a series that took place in the 20s I was ecstatic. The 20s are one of my favorite time periods and to know that one of my favorite
My review cross-posted from Wit and Sin: http://witandsin.blogspot.com/2014/01...Aida Palmer makes her living as a spirit medium performing in speakeasies, but unlike many others, her performance is genuine. When her boss asks for her assistance freeing bootlegger Winter Magnusson from a haunting, Aida has no idea that the simple task will ultimately change her world forever. For the hex put on Winter is just the beginning, and he needs Aidas help banishing the ghosts an unknown enemy keeps
Highly recommend this one.The hero and heroine are so adorable - super sexy. Hero is a big massive guy - heroine is little and freckled. There is such great flirting and courtship. The overall story really drew me in. I hesitated to read this because set in the 20's and has ghosts and for some reason that didn't appeal to me but I was a dumb dumb!!! Great setting - ghosts play in well to the story and truly a great, sexy romance.
