![]() ![]() The concept of a sort of magic mafia is well explained, and the societal fallout is also explored- it's taboo to go without gloves, for instance, because curse workers work through touch. The world building is actually very excellent. ![]() Cassel is going to have to find out what really happened all those years ago, and it might end up taking the biggest con of his life.Ĭlick here to see the rest of this review All of this is tied into some kind of plot involving Lila's father. At the same time, his brothers (Richard and Barron) have started acting strange, and Cassel is worried that they might be manipulating him. Cassel's been having nightmares, sleepwalking, and finds himself haunted by a white cat that he almost seems to recognize. Recently, however, that's been a little more difficult. Ever since then he's done his best to fit in with his rich classmates and never reveal his family history. Years ago his family shipped him off to a posh boarding school, after he murdered his best friend (and the daughter of the man who runs the crime ring) Lila. He's just your average con artist, with no real special abilities. Of course, curse working is illegal, and Cassel's family has deep ties with the local crime syndicate. Cassel comes from a family of curse workers- people with strange abilities that let them control other's emotions, break their bones, and even kill them. Cassel, the only normal member of a curse worker family, attempts to discover what happened years ago when he remembers killing his friend. ![]()
