This book has an urban fantasy / mystery feel similar to the Dresden files, but with two unique magic systems. One for witches and one for warlocks. Our main character, Adair Finch, used to work side-by-side with his brother, as a private detective solving supernatural mysteries. His brother was killed on a case and Adair has been in a depressed funk since, until one morning at 4:34 AM, a young girl knocks on his apartment door in need of his help to find her mother’s murderer.
Adair has the magical ability to turn back time to a self-marked place, leading to a Groundhog Day type story as we are witness to his repeated efforts to solve the crime. In spite of the repetitiveness of the story, we get quite a bit of new information, both about the crime and about Adair’s past, that keeps the reader entertained. I picked this up on the recommendation of another author that I follow. I enjoyed it greatly!
In addition, I immersively listened to the story on Audible. The audio was produced by SoundBooth Theatre and the narration was expertly handled by Annie Elliott, Jeff Hays, and Justin Thomas James.
Highly recommended!!
