Death By Curiosity

Received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review from the author*

Armitage “Tidge” Black is the protagonist in this book - she's driven, stubborn, and more than anything - curious. She is driven more than anything by her curiosity even if it means putting her in precarious situations. She is headstrong and determined to get to the bottom of Elodia Knight and how she can manipulate others, and also how she can “get away with” her antics. Is Elodia truly a witch?

I like how this story weaves in aspects of fantasy and mystery with “real life.” For example, this strikes me as similar to a Stephen King concept because he mixes reality with fantasy/mystery a lot in his stories, rather than a full-on fantasy such as Harry Potter.

At first, I was skeptical about how much information was divulged straight from the start and whether or not it would hit a plateau for suspense, but that was not the case. The story had suspense throughout, along with other carefully crafted characters (I like to think of Angie as “the Voice of Reason”).

This book is the start of a series and I'm looking forward to seeing what trouble and excitement Tidge gets into next!
