"An incredibly fun thrill-ride by a masterful storyteller." --Marie Lu, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Stars And Smoke A teenage sorcerer's apprentice must solve her boss's murder in order to prove her innocence in this twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games . Being an apprentice to one of the world's most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn't think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortuneteller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death--and worse, it comes true--Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs. The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered boss's youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all. But solving a murder isn't as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon's family. And Tabatha can't quite escape the nagging voice in her head asking: just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon? Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.

When Sorcerer Solomon is murdered, his apprentice, Tabatha, and son, Callum, team up to identify the killer in order to clear their names. The task is extra challenging due to the suspect list being full of rich magical members of the sorcerer's family. Tabatha also isn't sure she can trust Callum.
Although I found the premise intriguing, THESE DEADLY PROPHECIES was a YA fantasy murder mystery that unfortunately fell flat for me overall. I had a hard time staying engaged as the plot felt pretty predictable and the pacing quite slow. The fantasy aspects of the sorcerer's apprentice and the magic were fun concepts, but it didn't seem like there was enough of that included, at least not as much as I'd have liked. It felt more like this was a murder mystery with a touch of fantasy. The ending was also a bit cheesy. I think this book will be enjoyed by the right audience -- that just wasn't me.
