I love Allie Therin's Magic in Manhattan series and spinoff, and this preview promises a similar setup of mystery and empaths, only set in present day Seattle rather than 1920s New York and London. Since it's set in modern times everything seems a bit more gritty. There are cell phones, which really change a story, I've found. That ability to be instantly connected to someone else, no matter where they are. It opens a lot of possibilities but also places limitations on plot.
I connected instantly with Reece and with Jamey and the secondary characters surrounding them. I was also immediately drawn into the mystery and the police investigation setup. I love the way Allie Therin writes. Everything flows so nicely, and it's so easy to get wrapped up in the story and the characters.
I can't wait to read the rest of the story! I don't usually like contemporary stories or police procedurals, but this is clearly an exception.
*Thanks to NetGalley and Carina Adores for providing a preview of the e-arc for review.
