Reviews
O’Donoghue is wonderfully attuned to the delights and agonies of adolescence. The emotional intelligence of this book, and its grasp of how friendships can be a source of fierce love and tremendous pain at different times, is what stands out here; every detail rings true. This series is Ireland’s answer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer; I adore it.
The Irish Times
The Gifts That Bind Us focuses on character development and the tumultuous friendship issues that are oh so relatable to the teenage years. Well-written and enthralling, The Gifts That Bind Us is a tale of mysticism, friendships, and forgiveness.
Reading Time
An engrossing supernatural novel about teens discovering their powers and exploring relationships, and its sequel is just as enjoyable.
Her Canberra
Witchy, Twisty, and full of high stakes and dark magic spilling over an Irish town. This series is definitely a whirlwind to read.
