⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sarah Gailey's book Magic For Liars is a wonderful, magical, mystery. 

Private investigator Ivy Gamble was not born with any magical abilities, but her twin sister Tabitha was. Ivy would tell you that she never wanted to be magic, but she would be lying. 

Ivy used to lie...a lot, but when she is hired to investigate a gruesome murder at the Osthorne Acadamy for Mages, where her now estranged sister teaches, she is pulled into the powerful world of magic and mages, and forced to face some truths about herself and her relationship with her sister.  

I enjoyed this book. Gailey puts her own spin on the "school for mages" concept, and there is a mystery to be solved, but what i really enjoyed was the way the complicated relationship between Ivy and Tabitha was portrayed.  For me it added a depth to the story that made the characters more relatable and the story more likable for it. 

The book was narrated by Xe Sands, which should pretty much say it all for those who are audiobook addicts, but for those not in the know, Xe Sands is one of the best in the business. A beautiful voice with an incredible range of emotion and able to give each character in the story a voice of their own. 

Magic For Liars is a fun, light read, but not without depth. 

Happy Reading,

Christine
