Ivy Gamble has a big blind-spot when it comes to sister Tabitha. Especially when it involves magic. This who-dunnit with a side order of intrigue, mayhem, and theoretical magic was just what I needed to get over my Elementary hangover.
The world building was slow, and, just detailed enough to seem plausible. It made me cringe in all the right places. It made me frustrated too. Every time she got close just to have the answer snatched away. This book is perfect as is.
