I was mainly interested in this book because of the draw of tarot. Tarot is the focus of the project the characters are working on, yet we hear very little about it. It felt like the entire book started interesting concepts and then never followed through. The ending was rushed and predictable. The reveal about Ann’s father felt as though it was thrown in to give some sort of answer to what happened to him, but it was anticlimactic and sloppy. I didn’t actually like any of the characters, but I particularly found Ann to be completely annoying.
