Tabatha is an apprentice sorcerer, one morning he returns to his mentor's house, only to find him dead, although his death is not that shocking, he had predicted his death, but at whose hands, that is what remains a mystery.
Love the mix between modern mystery murder and paranormal, It reminded me a little of the Victorian séances and spiritualism parties, when people contact ghosts and spirits but in our current age. Also, the family drama reminds me of a YA version of Knives Out but with magic.
The magic system was interesting, It sounds credible for our modern times, I liked the element of prophecies, it very unique, and it’s not the only one, there are spirits, seeing the future, and others.
It was a fast-paced story and keeps you hooked, Sorcerer Solomon has a very dysfunctional family, children, ex-wives, lovers, and secrets, his character is complicated, he did not deserve his death but he was not a good father either, anyone could be the murderer, the mystery remains, there are several candidates to be the murderer. I think it is a good mystery, it is not so easy to guess who the murderer is, there are several clues and twists here and there, all the characters have their motives, they give you a little background on each one, there are many characters but it is easy to recognize them, each one has a personality, a motive and a different relationship with the sorcerer.
Tabatha and one of Solomon’s sons (Callum) will join together to solve the mystery. Tabatha is a great narrator, she is a likable, smart, funny, and down-earth girl. There's a bit of romance between her and Callum, just enough to keep you hooked, but without forgetting the main plot.
Overall, it is a fun and fast-paced story with a good dose of drama, mystery, and magic intertwined.
