Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
🕵🏼♀️Ivy Gamble is a private investigator. She spends her days seeking the truth and gathering evidence. Tabitha Gamble is her twin sister, but that is where the similarities end. Tabitha is a mage and a teacher of young mages. Sadly a death has occurred at Osthorne Academy for Young Mages (quite an awesome and gruesome death) and Ivy has been tasked to discover the truth. Will she?
🧙🏻♀️I like that this was a murder mystery in a magic school, not a magic school that had a murder. In other words, I like that magic didn’t overpower the whole mystery within the story (although the whole prophecy thing is a little Harry Potter-like for my tastes). I felt that it was the perfect mixture.
🕵🏼♀️ There are some gnarly descriptions used in Magic For Liars, especially when describing Sylvia Capley at the beginning and Dylan DeCambray towards the end. The story flows at a great pace, keeping me hooked.
🧙🏻♀️I liked the very end, when Ivy decides to “stick” and I liked that everything wasn’t perfectly, completely wrapped up. I do wish I knew a little more about what is in Alexandria’s future.
🕵🏼♀️I would recommend Magic For Liars to anyone who likes a good murder mystery, especially if you like fantasy/magic novels as well.
