Description
“The game is afoot.” Seventeen-year-old Marisol Holmes wants to live up to the family legacy; after all, she is the great-great-great granddaughter of Sherlock Holmes. What's more Holmesian than a grisly murder? The Conclave, an underground organization of detectives solving supernatural cases, is giving her just one chance to catch a killer and join them. After all, as a half-blood jaguar shifter, Marisol is uniquely qualified to solve this murder—since every scrap of evidence points toward the culprit being a fellow jaguar shifter.
“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.”
There's more to this than just evidence. Is one of her own people really involved, or is this all a ploy to kick Marisol’s mother off the shifter throne?
When Marisol discovers her handsome best friend, Roan, is missing, she realizes Roan may be the killer’s next target. The stakes just got higher than political intrigue.
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Just when things couldn’t get worse, Marisol’s ex-boyfriend-turned-nemesis, Mannix, starts leaving sinister clues for her. In her last case, Mannix broke her heart and ruined her case, and Marisol isn't sure which is worse. Marisol fears this case too might be far more personal than she could’ve imagined.
"Elementary."
It’s time for Marisol to prove her worth, or her people could fall into chaos while her best friend loses his life.
My Thoughts:
I completely got into this book. Marisol is a decedent of Sherlock Holmes...she is also a shifter princess and a detective. There was a lot on the line for Marisol in solving the mystery she is assigned to. She has a partner that I really got to liking and thought maybe that would be her Watson. There is a backstory that I want to have a book all it's own (totally hope the author does that!).
Going to the school and blending in, not to mention a friend from the past and a foe that make their way into the story. So much going on in the shifter world and a possible battle for power. Her mother being distant because of how Marisol messed up. I just can't say more for fear of giving away secrets, but you need to read this book.
The way this ended, gah! Give me the next book now! It was a 5/5 for me.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy of this book (via Netgalley). I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.
