Mystery and magic--what could be better?
Let me begin by saying that this is Sarah Gailey's debut book, which I'm always wary about. Debut books very often are rambling, not-well plotted, and contain weak characters. Not this one! I wasn't crazy about the writing, but the plot and the character development and the mystery were all A pluses for me.
Ivy, a detective, gets called on a special case at her sister's school. She and her sister have a very believable relationship; it's not perfect but it's pretty good.
And then the magic! It was extremely out-of-the-box and open and out there, and I loved every minute of it.
This book had so many great elements and characters, and I really loved it overall.
