Guest Review

78. The standard number of cards in a tarot deck. No house keeper. But Maeve's deck isn't standard. After reading for her ex-best friend Lily, Lily disappears. It will take more than friendship and romance to bring her back, it will take magic. True dark magic that can only be found in exhilarating books like this one. It was a thrilling, exciting and tense book that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire read. Tilly, Magical Minds Book Club Member

Description

I'll give up the tarot readings. I'll apologize to Lily. But Lily doesn't come to school on Monday. Or Tuesday. It's not until Wednesday that the police show up. Maeve Chambers doesn't have much going for her. Not only does she feel like the sole idiot in a family of geniuses, she managed to drive away her best friend Lily a year ago. But when she finds a pack of dusty old tarot cards at school, and begins to give scarily accurate readings to the girls in her class, she realizes she's found her gift at last. Things are looking up – until she discovers a strange card in the deck that definitely shouldn't be there. And two days after she convinces her ex-best friend to have a reading, Lily disappears. Can Maeve, her new friend Fiona and Lily's brother Roe find her? And will their special talents be enough to bring Lily back, before she's gone for good?

Reviews

Already the author of fiction for adults, Caroline O’Donoghue makes her young adult debut in the deliciously witchy All Our Hidden Gifts. An old pack of tarot cards and a knack for uncannily accurate readings boost Maeve Chambers’s popularity – until her former best friend goes missing. A supernatural mystery plays out against the backdrop of contemporary Ireland, exploring the theme of acceptance without ever being heavy-handed. O’Donoghue has a keen eye for the complexities of friendships; I predict this one will be catnip to teenage readers. - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/jan/12/young-adult-books-roundup-review
