The Mystic and the Missing Girl by Vikki Vansickle #bookreview @stmartinspress

Overview

Small town secrets, a reluctant psychic, and a cold case that could expose them all.

Drew Benson can read tarot cards and get impressions from objects—she just never expected to use her gifts to investigate an infamous cold case.

Drew Benson has a secret. She gets visions, something she hasn’t tapped into since she was a teenager, when her late aunt, a TV psychic known as Hannah Mystic, became the scapegoat in the unsolved disappearance of a local teenager. Twenty years later, Drew is happy to ignore her gift, focusing instead on keeping the metaphysical shop she inherited from Hannah afloat, wrangling her sole, astrology-obsessed employee, and dodging local rake Foster Banks in her picturesque lakeside hometown.

But when Drew’s arch-nemesis from high school, now a big city reporter, decides to investigate the cold case from all those years ago, it’s Drew’s ability that could finally make a break in the decades old mystery. With bills piling up, a disapproving mother laying on the guilt, and a local vandal who wants Drew and her witchy store gone, Drew has a lot to lose. But what she stands to gain—finding out what happened to the missing teen, clearing her aunt’s name, and a second chance at belonging—could change everything.

In The Mystic and the Missing Girl, Vikki VanSickle seamlessly draws readers into an utterly charming world in this unputdownable, small town mystery.

Review

Drew gets visions, something she hasn’t tapped into since she was a teenager, when her late aunt, a TV psychic known as Hannah Mystic, became the scapegoat in the unsolved disappearance of a local teenager.

I really do not like this cover. I am not a fan of the cartoonish vibes. I almost skipped this book. Boy, I am glad I read it!

I enjoyed quite a bit about this story. Drew and her unique gifts along with her antics had me so entertained! And I loved the reporter, Nick. He has a way of dealing with all the issues in a calm manner. And believe me, Drew needs this to keep her in check!

Needless to say, the characters are the best part of this tale. But I also loved learning about the tarot cards. Now the mystery was a bit predictable but I enjoyed this anyway.

Need a fun story…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
