While I found the book hard to put down, the research and tarot information was much more compelling to me than the murder mysteries woven around them. The male character’s behavior towards the women was pretty stereotypical and I found them to be somewhat flat — I could have lived without any of the romantic bits added in TBH.
Moderate: Toxic friendship, Murder, and Gaslighting
Minor: Death, Drug use, Toxic relationship, and Death of parent
