Blurb
Adair Finch is the most powerful warlock in the world, and one of the best private investigators for hire. He has dealt with corporate vampires, murderous werewolves, and even fae royalty. Everything was perfect until he lost one case—the case where he also lost his brother.


So Finch retired. From magic. From PI work. From everything.


Bree Blackstone, a twelve-year-old witch, doesn’t know or care about any of that except Finch’s reputation. In the middle of the night, she bangs on Finch’s door. Her mother has been murdered, and now the assassin is after Bree as well.


Reluctantly, Finch agrees to help, only to discover something sinister has been brewing in town while he ignored the world… He’ll need to dust off all his old skills and magic before it’s too late.

My Review As someone who identifies as a witch, we don’t use the word Warlock at all as it’s a slur. Male witches are simply witches. But that aside as this is a fantasy book, is a tale about a Powerful Warlock (I’m going to presume a male witch)  a young girl witch, finding the assassin of her mother. Knowing he needs to brush up his skills after losing a case and becoming a recluse as that case he also lost his brother. A pleasant supernatural and metaphysical story, good paced and well described characters, that warm your heart, or have you feeling the emotions with them. Great to make this into a whole series like the Dresden files I think. This was absolutely my cup of tea, a perfect dose of fantasy, whimsical, but with consequences as all magic comes with a consequence. Real life dilemmas and emotions explored and well thought out.
