Spice Details: Clean
Thank you Netgalley, BookishFirst and Penguin Teen Books for the advanced copies of this book.
The sorcerer's apprentice, Tabatha, is in for more than she bargained for when he is murdered and she becomes a suspect. Teaming up with his youngest son, Callum, the two embark on a mission to figure out who actually did the crime.
The description of this book made me so excited to read it, because I loved Inheritance Games series. However this was at a much slower pace than I was hoping for and found myself setting it aside to finish other books first. With that being said, I loved the urban fantasy world as the setting of this book. There was a large cast of characters, but each so unique it was easy to keep them separated. I liked the banter between Callum and Tabatha. It was quick and fun. I will say that though I was a little surprised by the ending, I had guessed it pretty early on in the story. Many things in this story seemed too easy or too predictable, which might have been why it was a slower read for me.
I think this is perfect for fans of Inheritance Games who love solving puzzles and solving mysteries. I still suggest this book because it had great elements, just not the right book for me.
