The men grunted in unison as they half dragged, half shoved Winter toward the tub. Little do her adoring audiences suspect that her spirit-summoning abilities are real, and those abilities are vividly, atmospherically described by Bennett, who does more intelligent work in making her schemed-out system of magic and the supernatural than many a fantasy novelist bothers to do.Also vividly described, naturally, are the attractions of sexy bootlegger Winter Magnusson, who crosses paths with Aida when he finds himself under the disorienting effects of a malicious hex - mainly, um, two attractions:
