Synopsis (Found on
Goodreads):
Avicenna Crowe’s mother, Joanne, is an
astrologer with uncanny predictive powers and a history of being stalked. Now
she is missing.The police are called, but they’re not asking the right questions. Like why Joanne lied about her past, and what she saw in her stars that made her so afraid.
But Avicenna has inherited her mother’s gift. Finding an unlikely ally in the brooding Simon Thorn, she begins to piece together the mystery.
I DNF`d at 55% As interesting
as it is it`s just not holding my attention
Overall: DNF (If I
had continued my opinion is 1-2stars based on the plot concept)
The
reading of the future aspect was pretty interesting though.
Cover: 2.5/5
The spyglass makes
this seem less of a fortune teller book and more of a murder mystery. So for me
maybe something with stars and tarot cards would resonate the story line better.
Characters: 1/5
Avicenna is
such a whiny main character that it was hard to keep reading at first. The
choices she makes are not ones I would have chosen.
Joanne all-though not in sight plays a huge
part of the story. I liked hearing about everything she predicted and how she
worked. I feel like she was more of a rounded character than Avicenna.
Plot: 3/5
Now
this is where the rating really comes from. The
mathematics of astrology are described in detail, which may interest some
readers. The mysteries tended to
be quite unique and interesting. Avicenna does not consider an astrologer like
her mother, but she has absorbed much of her mother's knowledge, and also has
the gift. However, when her mother disappears Avicenna is forced to follow in
her mother’s footsteps to uncover the truth.
