San Francisco astrologer
Julia Bonatti's life is turned upside down when she becomes the target
of the city's newest cult leader, Reverend Roy of the Prophet's
Tabernacle. Driven out of her apartment in the midst of a disastrous
Mercury retrograde period, she takes shelter with a client who's caring
for two elderly aunts. One aunt appears stricken with dementia and the
other has fallen under the spell of the Reverend Roy. To add to the
confusion, a young man claiming to be a long lost nephew arrives. The
longer he stays, the more dangerous things become. Is the young man
truly a member of the family? Can astrology confirm that? Julia's not
sure, but one thing she does know is that Mercury wasn't merely the
messenger of the gods—he was a trickster and a liar as well.
My Take:
I love reading the first book in a new series. I especially love when
the first book is this good. Julia is a perfect main character and the
story flows very quickly from beginning to end. I can't wait to see what
the stars have in store next.
