Booklist - 05/01/2025 If readers are looking for a fast-paced mystery with a little bit of tarot-reading intrigue, Manansala’s YA debut, delivering a gripping story full of twists and tension and starring a main character it’s impossible not to root for, is sure to fit the bill. Filipino American Danika Dizon is not your typical high-schooler: she has the fearlessness of a PI, the crimesolving instincts of a classic detective, and just enough confidence (and stubbornness) to take on a case no one else would touch. She also runs a tarot-reading side hustle at school, and when one of her clients disappears after drawing the Death card, Danika doesn’t waste any time going after the answers herself. Alongside Gaby, the missing girl’s sister, she starts unraveling secret after secret. Among the high-stakes drama and snarky banter, Manansala details plenty of tarot readings, which should delight tarot fans. But it’s the fierce, brave, and strong-willed Danika who drives this entertaining mystery, which will keep readers guessing until the last page. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
