I was excited to read this full-length novel from the author who brought us hippo cowboys. This is a murder mystery set in a magical school. Ivy is a professional PI that spends her time investigating cheaters and such. She has always been upset that her twin sister got the magic and glory and she got the grit and mundane. But this murder mystery could be the step that takes her to the next level. Unfortunately this was a book that had problems and ended up being highly unsatisfactory. While those things keep me reading, the world-building and plot made it harder and harder to finish the book. Unfortunately, there were major issues that made this an unlikable read for me. The author includes lots of dark topics in this book and then never explores any of the actual life consequences of such choices. She ends the book with no closure or realistic ramifications.
