About this listen
Cassel comes from a family of curse workers people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they'e all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists. But not Cassel. He hasn't got magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail - he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.
Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he must unravel his past and his memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to outcon the conmen.

Really enjoy it!
As the first book I finished on Audible, it is really nicely presented by Jesse. I love Jesse's voice and his unique way of speaking. Also the story is very attractive. I've been drawn to every twists, feeling very excited but also kind of frightened. Anyway, really have enjoyed myself during the whole listening. Thx Jesse for representing such a good book!

Totally Original YA
This was recommended by a friend Ellie Marney who wrote the Every series YA detective books. I've not read any YA previously other than her books, and wanted to get a good start.
This story is really original, for both YA and adult fiction. Really good idea to mix magic and crime together in this way. I enjoyed the storyline, and the characters were well written, and connected together well.
The ending twist was also fantastic, simple, but so complex at the same time.
I've listened to a lot of audio books, and I find Jesse Eisenberg a little hard to listen to. Something feels like he's reading a tad fast perhaps? Hard to describe - but this is totally a personal preference, and the book is still very listenable. I will listen to parts 2 and 3 also, and both are narrated by Jesse also, so not that big a deal.
Overall a very good read.
