4.0

So this one is probably my favourite of the three I’ve read so far. I feel like all the characters felt rounded, none were annoying or self-centred (other than the killer) and it made for a great read! 

We’re back with Detectives Daniels and Remalla but originally they’re not on the case of a murder and attempted murder until they realise it all links back The Makeup Artist.

I enjoyed the supernatural aspect a lot more in this one because of the use of tarot cards making it seem more realistic- although the main character of this one can heal people with his touch. I prefer that to throwing things with their minds. 

This case was much more interesting considering there was a survivor- it proves to the detectives that their main suspect was not working alone. 

He’s enlisted help.

But he’s also helping them?

The finale was very dramatic and I actually got very very worried that someone actually might get dropped off a building. The other killer was very petty with why he was doing what he was doing. 

Which goes to show that you can’t always think you know someone. 

I really liked this one and I’m looking forward to finishing the series and seeing how it all wraps up!
