These Deadly Prophecies

De: Andrea Tang

Narrado por: Katharine Chin

“An incredibly fun thrill-ride by a masterful storyteller.” —Marie Lu, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Stars And Smoke

A teenage sorcerer’s apprentice must solve her boss’s murder in order to prove her innocence in this twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games.

Being an apprentice to one of the world's most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn’t think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortuneteller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death—and worse, it comes true—Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered boss’s youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all.

But solving a murder isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon’s family. And Tabatha can’t quite escape the nagging voice in her head asking: just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon?

Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.

Creative twists

Apart from the odd prejudice against “rich white men”, haha,
it was a fun book. It had some creative twists and it does good at keeping you guessing who the killer is.

Easy Listening

This is a lovely book for easy and relaxed listening that doesn't require sustained mental effort.

Review

The plot and advice at the end of the book. The book was great and all the characters.

Not bad

This book is not as bad as the majority of YA fantasy. It has some plot twists.

Not for me

I Couldn’t finish it. I didn’t care about the main character at all. She didn’t seem to have a good heart.
