This book is a murder mystery in a high school that so happens to be filled with young mages.
Ivy is a private detective given the case. Ivy has no magic but her twin Tabitha does. Ivy tries to navigate the world of magic and murder whilst remarking that how similar the high school environments are.
Its a good book, even if the ending is abrupt and so many loose ends are left dangling.

An interesting combination of horror and fantasy. I struggled to get into it at first (pessimistic narrators are not my cup of tea) but by the end I was really entranced. Kind of iffy on the magic storyline, but I could pass it by.
