Dripping in atmosphere, dread, suspicion, and suspense, A Spell for Saints and Sinners is about Ingrid a psychic (and witch) who sees her life change when Sailor, an young heiress comes into her business for a reading. While I enjoyed this book, I didn’t love it.
For me this was a bit of slow burn. I struggle with slow burns. There were times that I wanted things to move along a little faster. What I did enjoy was the look at family, relationships, privilege, power, and wanting to belong.
In the beginning of this book, Ingrid is struggling to keep her business afloat and to be able to make repairs on her home and pay property taxes. When Sailor comes in for a reading with her bridesmaids, she becomes Sailor’s patron. Soon she is enmeshed and rubbing elbows with the elite.
This book does have a nice amount of secrets, drama, magic, twists, and suspense. As I mentioned earlier, the atmosphere was top notch and really set the stage for the hot humid Savannah days.
Thank you to Kensington and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
