This is the first book I have read by Natasha Mostert. It will also probably be my last. It was just too slow for my taste. I wanted more action, suspense, and it is mainly a lot of running in circles. I did enjoy that this book included psychic abilities, but overall this book was just not for me.
Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com): Gabriel Blackstone is an unscrupulous hacker and unrepentant "remote viewer" who can't resist his ex-lover's request to look into her stepson's disappearance. His investigation leads him to a rambling Victorian home that bewitches him-as do its beautiful, enigmatic owners, the Monk sisters. The pair are solar witches, obsessed with alchemy and the Art of Memory, a practice invented by the ancient Greeks. With his uneasy suspicion that one of the sisters is a killer, Gabriel sets out to determine which. But the more entangled in the case he becomes, the more deeply he is drawn into the sisters' entrancing world-losing hold of reality even as he falls into mortal danger...
The sisters were interesting and I never seen the ending coming. I am not sure if I loved the ending of the book or hated it. The book does get better towards the middle to the end of the book, but the beginning is very slow. Beware though the synopsis makes it seem a lot more dramatic and suspenseful than it really is, maybe I had too high of expectations.
