I really enjoyed the start of this book, and thought it did well introducing the main character, and introducing us to the murder mystery. It's a contemporary setting with magical elements; magic is a normalized part of life and it's a really interesting take on the genre. It focuses on the magic of prophecy specifically, as in this world it's a more rare talent. The main character, Tabatha, is apprentice to the most famous sorcerer in the world, and he dies, after prophesying his own death. She teams up with his son, Callum, to figure out who did it. This was so interesting! I was really excited to read more. The rest of the book didn't meet my expectations, though. It was really fast-paced, but the book felt short. The world building was lacking. I was hoping for more focus on the characters and the relationships forming. I did like the book, but I didn't love it. Also, the ending was just... frustrating!
