4/5 Stars - says it's a standalone adventure but is it really? Please keep that in mind as there may be spoilers in this review to other Jackaby books, but as it is a standalone, I will review it assuming there are no spoilers for other books.

General Description: Abigail Rook can see auras. She hasn't always been able to, but after her employer Jackaby lost the sight, she gained it. Now, after months of training, Rook has to try to save the town of New Fiddleham after many people have gone missing, after many objects have been stolen, and when the case hits close to home for Rook, she's more invested than ever in honing her new ability while trying to keep the town of New Fiddleham safe.

The good:
- The writing in this book was extremely quick and humorous to me.
- I loved the pacing of the book, I feel like I couldn't put it down.
- The side characters and world-building were outstanding.
- The plot twists had my jaw on the floor.

The loss of a star:
- First off, the subplot with the parents confused me and it could have not been in there in my opinion.
- While this is a standalone, it seems very intertwined with the Jackaby series? I felt like I was getting spoiled for the entire series left and right.

Overall: If you're looking to get into a new fast-paced fantasy world, this fits the bill, but maybe read the whole Jackaby series first.
