I liked the mix between paranormal and mystery/crime story. I even got to suspect some characters I didn't expect. The mystery definitely catches you from the start and I liked how every character was very distinctive in their personalities, so seeing them work together with their different dynamics was a blast. I think this was thanks to the overall humor in the story. To name a few examples of this: Jocasta's inner monologue as well as Sebastien's personality.

The way Jocasta's job was portrait and her love for it was very interesting to me. I know nothing about it but it sounded very compelling to understand the mechanics of her job and how she starts to solve parts of the mystery.

I think one of my favorite parts was Jocasta and Will's relationship. How they started to know each other and how she got to experience some of Will's special talents.The fact that both got to do it with the lessons was charming and honestly was very unique to me. Also, I loved how everyone shipped them.

I was pleasantly surprised with Domingo. I initially thought he was going to be some sort of a fatherly figure for the team and just send them off to the missions and it was nice to see I was wrong.

You can tell that I enjoyed the book so much that I've been speculating. Are there going to be consequences of some of the last scenes in the book? Are the characters going to be the same after that? Will it trigger a new plot?

I would've liked to know more about Will's family and childhood since it is brought up a couple of times but not really explained. As well as a bit more explanation of how Domingo and Will meet for him to get to work with him. I feel there is so much of Will's side of the story that we don't know yet, but hopefully in a later installment.
