A Study In Spirits by Byrd Nash a five-star show stealing read. This is number two in the College Fae Magic series, and flows well from the first novel and just continues with the great story. There is something special about the characters in this story, I like how we have many of the same characters as the first story, but some new to keep it fresh, the characters have such depth to them they will surprise you. The whole premise of this story is one that brings a fresh look at the genre, this really is a great story, there are some great friendships shown despite the differences between characters, its nice to see the difference shown and overcome. I enjoyed the flashbacks in this story, they just added another layer to the story. If you enjoy a good story and a bit of fantasy, then you won’t go wrong reading this series.
I absolutely loved reading this one and I don’t care that it’s for young adults because at 32, I love a good read and this was definitely that.
We follow Brigit in college but she has to do something to prove her innocence and she’s totally bad-ass at doing it as she does things her way.
Someone has falsely accused her of doing detest actions that don’t fit her character and she’s out to clear her name to the university.
Even worse, as a fairy, she owes a debt to her doppleganger as she has to unravel what’s leering in the library. Whatever it is, it’s haunting the books she loves which is all the ammunition she needs to put an end to this thing’s reign of terror. Since the administration at the university, Brigit and her friends will do what they must to put an end to it.
Brigit’s friends have unique gifts of their own to unravel the mysteries before them which makes this book juicier. Logan can recognize the truth within the blink of an eye and gamer girl Emma may know more than she’s letting on. The ghosts of the school are even on the side of the good but the evil force may be way more powerful than they initially thought.
A Study in Spirits (College Fae book #2) by Byrd Nash – Review by Makaela Patterson
What can I say, this was a great fantasy read. I think Mythical fantasy books are becoming one of my favorites to read. While I was reading book 2 of this series I was really inspired by the strong women coming of age storyline. One of the cool elements to this book was the flashbacks from the backstory of the first book. This helped put some perspective on questions I had but then, there were more questions to be answered. Why may you ask because this book keeps you wondering what’s going to happen. The author did a good job with giving insight; but not too much or too little. I’m giving this book 5 stars. No matter if you love fantasy,mystery,science-fiction or even romance you would definitely love this book!
A Study in Spirits (Collage Fae Book #2) by Byrd Nash is a great read. In this book we get to tag along with Brigit, Logan, Celia, Granite, Jib (a Púca), the Dopplegänger Paul and two new characters: Emma and her tsukumogami (Japanese spirit). It starts out innocently enough when Emma tries to make some extra cash. Unknowingly she stumbles upon some odd happenings in the library. Not only does she not know what she got into, but she unintentionally causes a small rift between Brigit and her bondmates. To rectify the wrongs they band together to discover who or what is wreaking havoc at the library. This was a great little adventure to get lost in and I had a great time reading this book. Byrd Nash did a great job.
A Study in Spirits (College Fae book #2) by Byrd Nash was a great continuation of the first book. Everything the first book had and then more! I love the Fae and especially how Byrd Nash manages to blend it with more updated references. I love Brigit and Logan and can’t wait to see what troubles come next. Definitely a story I want to follow.
A Study in Spirits: A College Fae magic series #2
by Byrd Nash
I loved this book just as much as I did the first book in this series. The same great characters return in this story and we get to meet some really great new ones. This story is full of action and mystery. The author does an amazing job at building a world full of fantasy and magic that I just don’t want to put down. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series to see what’s in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.
I enjoyed this story. It’s the second in the series. In here we get to delve deeper into each of the characters we have met. While there is a problem on campus they have become involved in because of Celia’s new roomie.
There is much to love about these characters. The whole dryad (tree) Fae thing. How she can step into trees. Then in the library I loved the idea of how the books were crying having their knowledge ripped from them. Then the dryad struggled as well because….well books are paper and paper was trees…genius! Logan with his “seeing the truth” and the Japanese squirrel and the cat (Jib). All great! I don’t even know what to say about the doppelgänger. Just freaky!
I love the world this author has created. Anyone who reads paranormal fantasy should love this. It tickles the funny one and engages the grey matter.
I give A Study in Spirits: A College Fae magic series #2 by Byrd Nash, 5 stars.
The first book in this series was so much fun and I anxiously awaited the next one. Well, it passed the grade and then some. The book was outstanding! Sticking with the same group of characters from book 1, there is also an addition of another character to their group who is just as interesting and I would love to see more of in the future. The characters are so great because they work together so well and all have kindness to others in their heart. Albeit different and not always on the same page, they work together to help those in need. This time, the focus is something evil in the library. The way they go about solving everything is so interesting and you just can’t put the book down. The story is entertaining and fun, the characters are real but not too pretentious, and there is of course a talking cat, which just pushes it over the edge for me.
If you are a fan of college aged main characters in an urban fantasy setting, this book is for you.
If you are into Supernatural stories, this series is for you. Byrd Nash has an amazing imagination to write this series. Her attention to detail is outstanding. I feel like I am standing right next to the characters and having the adventure with them. Brigit is in trouble and she may have to leave the university. She has to look into this mystery and along the way she recruits Logan and a new girl. You will keep flipping the pages to see what is coming around the next corner. This story kept my attention and had me wanting more. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to see what is going to be happening next.
A Study In Spirits by Byrd Nash was a great sequel! I immensely enjoyed reading this novel, more so than the first if I’m being completely honest. The story was just better and more mysterious to me than the first. The first was great too, but not like this one. I enjoyed meeting the new characters while also still seeing the ones from the first book. I highly recommend this novel and can’t wait to read the next installment!
I fell in love with the writing style of Bryd Nash with the first book in this series, A College Fae Magic Series book one, Never Date a Siren. This book was everything I had hoped it would be and all I dreamed of while anticipating its release. A Study in Spirits is another fast paced and adventure laced read with a romantic nod and all the magic and fae to keep you entertained for hours.
In this one we get to follow along with Brigit, Logan and the newest student to Leopold Otto University, Emma. Brigit gets accused of stealing the test answers and destroying the books in the library. (blasphemy I know lol) We get to see if Logan and Emma will be able to figure out what monster is causing the mayhem and if they will be able to get things under control. You will feel as if you are surrounded by magic and fantasy the whole time you are reading. I can’t wait to see what the next book will bring us!
This is book 2 in the College Fae magic series.
There is a strange magical thing in the abbey library who is destroying all the books and information.
Brigit is accused of hacking into the system to get access to test papers and in the process destroyed some other things off the system.
So with her friends Logan, Celia, Granite and new girl Emma they have to figure out what this magical being is and clear Brigits name and save the books what she so loves from being destroyed.
Its an amazing mystical adventure.

A Study in Spirits: College Fae Magic #2 by Byrd Nash
A Study in Spirits is the second book in the sci-fi fantasy series about college fae by Byrd Nash. I enjoy YA books and this was another nice easy and stress free story. With this book there was the addition of characters and a new year in college life for all of the group. The story follows things that are happening in the campus library with books disappearing as well as someone stealing test answers from a library computer. The group from book #1 work together, along with the addition of a new classmate, Emma, and her unique earring. The author again did a great job with telling a detailed and descriptive fantasy story that was easily visualized and not confusing like some stories that involve different worlds and creatures sometimes end up being.
This is the second book in the series by this author and i have enjoyed both of them. The author has a good writing style and the fact that it is a young adult series for me is great it is a good palette cleanser. The story is fantasy, some magic and a whole lot of mystery. Brigit is accused of stealing and Vandalism and in order to stay at her university she must clear her name because she isnt the one who did those crimes. She hopefully will have some help from a few friends around campus so she can get to the bottom of who actually done the deeds!
I was engaged in this story from page one i am looking forward to reading more by this author!
Happy Reading!

This is the follow up story to Never Date a Siren. I love the premise of this series; humans and Fae studying together at Léopold Otto University. So many things can go wrong and they do. I love all the characters in this series. Each one is unique and special in their own way. In this book the author introduces a couple of new characters. Emma was really cool and I especially loved her earring. That Obake was really handy.
In this novel, Brigit is accused of stealing test results and she’s furious. She’s forced to clear her name and find the culprits all while a monster is prowling the library destroying books. Brigit and her bond mates decide to hunt it down. This leads to a thrilling fast paced adventure filled with danger. It pulled me in from the start and o had a hard time putting it down. You’ll be sucked into a colourful and imaginative world filled with surprises.
Byrd Nash does it again with this witty, fantastical Young Adult book! This author just gets stronger and stronger with her writing and makes reading these books enjoyable and something you just can’t put down until you’ve read the whole thing. A fan from reading her first book of the series, this second book does not disappoint but instead just lures you into to wanting the next book to read straight away – which I cannot wait till it comes out I am waiting on tenterhooks.
In this book we are met with the some of the same characters we were introduced to in book one of the series and follow on Brigit’s misadventures. She is accused of cheating and needs to clear her name. But of course, knowing Brigit, she must do things in her own way. Not only must she find a way to clear her name but also sort a Fairy Debt to a Doppelganger; discovering the secret of what/who is prowling around the abbey library and what is destroying the books that she loves. We have Logan along for the ride to give a more human side to the story as well as Brigit’s Fae side and we meet a new student, Emma, who might just be the key to the whole adventure.
This book is just full of wit, humour, fantasy and twists and turns that you have to keep reading chapter after chapter to find out what is happening. If you read Nash’s first book of the series, you know to always expect the unexpected with her writing and that serious moments and funny ones are interlinked to keep the idea of realism alive in these.
Nash has such a fantastic way of writing and a keen eye on keeping to the plot that these books are a joy to read. Well thought out characters; each with their own faults and brilliance that you come to love them and want to follow on their journey, even if you haven’t read the first book this one can be a stand-alone book (but why would you want to miss out on any of Nash’s brilliance?). A brilliant second book in the series and cannot wait for the second.
4 Stars
A Study in Spirits: A College Fae Magic Series #2 by Byrd Nash is the follow on from Never Date a Siren. It is a wonderful Young Adult story full of paranormal beings, college life, humour, drama, debts, bonds, challenges, lessons, magic, danger, adventure, and more.
We meet back up with Brigit, Logan, and their friends as this next adventure unfolds. A new school year has started at Leopold Otto University and Brigit finds herself accused of cheating and will need to clear her name or face expulsion. Then there’s the matter of being indebted to the Doppelganger (from book #1 ‘Never Date A Siren’) after his help with the siren problem from the last year. More problems arise when a spate of vandalism in the library sets off a hunt to uncover the ‘monster’ behind the destruction. Never a dull moment for these characters.
This is a fantastic second instalment and as I am now completely invested in the characters, I really can’t wait to see what they get up to in the next book!
Such a fun read!!!
Thank you, Byrd Nash!
A Study in Spirits by Byrd Nash is the second book in the College Fae magic series. This book is entertaining throughout and has some fantastic characters. Personally I do think this should be read in order as you are introduced to all the characters in the first book.
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed falling back into the lives of the characters I had got to know previously. The story was engaging and really well developed. The author creates a good pace and draws you in.
This has so far been a very enjoyable series and I can definitely say I am looking forward to seeing what is next.
A Study in Spirits is the second novel in the College Fae Magic series by Byrd Nash.
I was so excited for this novel and I couldn’t put it down.
Brigit has her hands full when she is accused of stealing answers to a test, she is also tasked with finding the culprit of who is prowling the library.
I loved this book and Emma. There are so many twists and turns and the way the story is written just pulls you in.
I don’t want to give too much away but I highly recommend this book and this series!
The adventure continues in book #2 of the College Fae series, a fun and fast paced read.
When a mysterious spirit haunts the university library, Brigit and Logan team up to investigate with the help of returning characters like Jib and new characters Emma and Obake.
Who is this spirit, what does it want? In pursuit of these answers, Brigit and Logan are tested in new ways, finding both strength and vulnerability.
I enjoy the author’s creative mixing elements from traditional tales and pop culture.
