Magic For Liars by Sarah Gailey is a strong debut that takes readers into an intriguing world of magic, mystery, and murder. As a big fan of both books about magic (think The Magicians) and female private investigators (think Veronica Mars), I was delighted to dive into the world of Osthorne Academy.
To say twinsisters Ivy and Tabitha are different would be an understatement. One belongs in the world of theoretical magic and mages, and one was left behind to cope with their dying mother and a father who cannot cope.
When a murder at the academy where Tabitha teaches brings Ivy into the magical community from which she was excluded, Ivy will wrestle with he decisions she makes during the course of the investigation. There’s the life she has and the one she could have. How far will Ivy go to solve a murder mystery? What will it cost her? What will she find about herself along the way?
Many thanks to the publisher, the author, and Bookish First for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
