About this listen
Maeve’s strangely astute tarot readings make her the talk of the school, until a classmate draws a chilling and unfamiliar card - and then disappears.
After Maeve finds a pack of tarot cards while cleaning out a closet during her in-school suspension, she quickly becomes the most sought-after diviner at St. Bernadette’s Catholic school. But when Maeve’s ex-best friend, Lily, draws an unsettling card called The Housekeeper that Maeve has never seen before, the session devolves into a heated argument that ends with Maeve wishing aloud that Lily would disappear. When Lily isn’t at school the next Monday, Maeve learns her ex-friend has vanished without a trace.
Shunned by her classmates and struggling to preserve a fledgling romance with Lily's gender-fluid sibling, Roe, Maeve must dig deep into her connection with the cards to search for clues the police cannot find - even if they lead to the terrifying Housekeeper herself. Set in an Irish town where the church’s tight hold has loosened and new freedoms are trying to take root, this sharply contemporary story is witty, gripping, and tinged with mysticism.

"Collins's lilting Irish accent adds authenticity to the narration, drawing listeners into the Irish setting. The unhurried pacing builds tension and suspense as the mystery unfolds, engrossing the listener in the quest to get Lily back.” —Booklist
“[Alana Kerr] Collins is captivating as the voice of Maeve, a headstrong Irish high school student who discovers an old deck of tarot cards and unwittingly unleashes a malevolent being who targets her former friend, Lily. With a gentle Irish accent, Collins imbues Maeve with a full range of evocative expression, including hot-tempered swagger, quiet wonderment, breathless terror, and shocked tenderness.… Paranormal fantasy fans will be transported by Collins's strong characterizations and Maeve's quest to understand her power and repair the harm she's caused.” —AudioFile Magazine
“An immersive tale of brave, vulnerable teens facing threats both real and fantastic.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
