"Odd & True" was a pleasant surprise: a tale of two sisters that blends historical fiction about women in America at the start of the twentieth century, the hunting of supernatural monsters in the wild woods of New Jersey and an exploration of how the stories we tell ourselves and each other shape w...

Odette is the storyteller and warrior. Trudchen is the psychic, finding portents of monsters in the tea leaves. Or, Od is the wild, ruined runaway, and Tru is the frail cripple.

This isn't so much of a review as it's my thoughts on the book. I adore Cat Winters books, each have brought tears to my eyes, hope to my heart and I love each and every one of them. Until Yesternight which left me at odds overall. Now the beginning was just Cat Winters at her best, setting ...
