This YA reminds me of a mix of Crescent City and Ace of Shades - a mysterious fantasy full of political intrigue and magical abilities. Add in Greek mythology and I was sold. We follow Io, a descendant of The Fates, as she tries to solve a rapidly unfolding murder mystery. This story avoids the traditional demigod take which I really enjoyed, and infuses some mafia elements. Cliffhanger ending? Enjoyed a bit less so, but I'm so excited for a sequel!!
