Spirits That Walk in Shadow by Nina Kiriki Hoffman

1.0

The books chapters flip back and forth between, Kim and Jamie, the two main characters. Both girls enter college with very different backgrounds. Kim is artistic and has been suffering with depression. Her roommate Jamie is not what she appears to be when she bringing a household god to live in their dorm room. Fortunately for Kim, Jamie realizes that Kim’s depression has unnatural origins. With the aid of some of Jamie’s cousins, who also attend the same college, the new roommates try to investigate the cause of Kim’s depression.

The novel takes place over the first week at college. Hoffman is able to vividly describe Jamie’s magic and Kim’s artistic visions to make the inner lives of the characters come alive. If you like YA urban fantasy novels, you’ll find Spirits that Walk in Shadows intriguing.
