Synopsis:
Astra Arden has had a rough go of it lately. Between dealing with bickering gods, a spectral boyfriend who can’t seem to remember to knock, a lost job, and three sisters who have all become rebellious, Astra is barely keeping it together.

But when the mayor of Cassandra, the town known for its psychic abilities, goes missing, things go from bad to downright absurd.

The entire town of Cassandra thinks Astra murdered Mayor Lillian Thornton a very public confrontation between the women. The interim mayor—a hotheaded condo developer named Daniel Caldecott—is determined to use the disappearance to take over Cassandra and pin the blame on the Arden family as fast as he can get the ink dried on the warrant.

Can Astra find the missing mayor, clear her name, and restore peace to Cassandra before it becomes a high-end ghost town? Or will she be swallowed up in the chaos of gods, ghosts, and greedy developers?

Review:
I was definitely happy to see the threat of the last book; everyone sharing all powers etc did not seem to be in any way an issue in this book. Set a few months after the last novel, it is understandable that everyone is still on edge, especially Lillian Thornton. I quite enjoyed another trip to Cassandra and that Astra is beginning to communicate with her father. She is learning what he’s like and what things mean with him/what he would do and wouldn’t and that’s interesting to see. I quite enjoyed this novel because we still got to see Jason, we see the turmoil of Astra’s immediate family, and we got to see how Astra can try to work with people who aren’t just Emma. I had managed to figure out most of what was going on before the reveal, however it did not in any way detract from the reading experience. I look forward to continuing on with the series!
