Review originally posted in June of 2014 on Fiction Vixen by Angela. Grim Shadows by Jenn BennettRoaring Twenties #2Paranormal Historical RomanceJune 3, 2014- Berkley After reading the first book in Jenn Bennett’s Roaring Twenties series, Bitter Spirits, my first thought was “why didn’t I pick this up sooner?” Such a great romance.
