Ivy and Tabitha are twin sisters but, only Tabitha was lucky enough to be blessed with magic. Ivy likes to believe that she is okay with not having any magical
abilities but, deep down she is envious of her sister. She wishes that
she can be like her gifted twin sister instead of being a mediocre private investigator.
When
a gruesome murder occurs at The Osthorne Academy of Young Mages, Ivy is
bought in to help solve the murder. Ivy is reluctant to accept the case
because her estranged twin sister teaches there. While investigating
the murder, Ivy is pulled into the world of deadly secrets and dangerous
power. Ivy desperately wishes she was a part of this magical world.
Will be Ivy be able to solve the murder without losing herself or her
sister in the process?
When I first saw this cover, I knew this book was for me but, sadly it wasn't. I felt the novel focuses mostly on Ivy trying to become something she wasn't then
the "magic" aspect. She had this self-pitying attitude that was
annoying. I wish she was more confident in herself and her abilities. I
was a bit disappointed in the ending. It felt like a letdown after being
tension built up earlier. Overall, the novel had great potential but,
it kind of fizzes out to a "meh" feeling.
