A cute and funny murder mystery filled with magic, prophecy, and a sprinkle of romance. What’s not to love?

Tabatha Zeng is an apprentice of the famous fortune teller Sorcerer Solomon, who predicts his own brutal murder. Teamed up with Callum Solomon, the third son of Solomon and classmate of Zeng, the two must solve the murder before being framed for the deadly deed. The only hunch they have is the sorcerer’s own prophecy.

The dialogue really makes this book a must read. Callum is such a cute jock, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his super nerdy jokes. The mystery was great to solve along with the characters. Fans of Knives Out will love this book!

Thank you to Netgalley and G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers for this ARC.
