Its very witchy and queer. The magic blends into the mundane almost seamlessly. All of the characters are deeply flawed and interesting individuals. The mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This wasn't a personal favorite book--it definitely was a quick read. I finished it in a day. I think students that like a mysterious magical thriller will enjoy this one. It kind of reminded me of the magical style of Susan Cooper but with a darker twist. This does get into tarot, witchcraft, set up against a backdrop of fundamentalist hate groups using magical power to further their agendas. The main character wasn't particularly likeable as a character, but I did like the side characters of Roe and Fiona.

i liked this! I will say, there’s a lot going on at once and it does get a bit jumbled and quite confusing at times.

like I’m still trying to understand the whole housekeeper thing and how it played into everything else..

this book seems like the perfect set up for the next one, so I think I’ll probably enjoy the second book more.

especially since they will already be witches, I think it’ll be more fun to learn more about these characters and their relationships

Protect Roe at all costs!!!!!
