Abigail Rook never intended to be the mortal bridge between the human and supernatural world. But now, the power of the Sight--and all the chaos that comes with seeing the essential truth of everything, every human, fairy, werewolf, enchanted slip of paper, and municipal building, at all times--is hers alone. With this overwhelming new gift, she should be able to solve crimes and help New Fiddleham, New England find calm in its supernatural chaos.
The only problem? She has no idea what she’s doing.
And New Fiddleham isn't waiting for Abigail to be ready. Local witches and other magical beings are going missing, as tensions between human and supernatural residents curdle into a hatred that could tear the city apart. Abigail's fiance, Charlie, works alongside her to unravel the magical disappearances, but as a shapeshifter, he's under threat as well. Then Abigail's parents appear, ready to take her back to England and marry her off to someone she's never met. Abigail has no choice but to follow her Sight, her instincts, and any clues she can find to track a culprit who is trying destroy everything she holds dear.

My Review: I know that they say you can read this one as a stand alone but I would totally have to disagree. I would say that you should read the books in the Jackaby series first and then read this one. It will give you a better idea of the world and the characters etc. I think if you are a fan of the original series then this one is going to hit it out of the park for you. I always say I love to see charaters after the story ends and this gives me loads of that. I was so excited. I really do hope we get even more stories set in this world. The only thing I wish that this one would have done was to go darker. It felt like a lighter story than the originals, and although that wasn't a bad thing per se I just wish that since these characters have grown that the story would have grown with them.
