I'm not a mage, but that won't stop me.
Cori Catastrophe. They call me that sometimes, and I hate to admit it, but it isn’t wrong. Things go weird around me. Electronics die, things break, and if something odd happens, I seem to find it. Finding another dead body just made me late to work.
Nothing will stop me from getting my degree, getting a job, and getting away from this tiny town – though leaving my best friend will hurt more than anything else. Reality seems determined to make reaching my goals impossible. The dead guy had my name in his pocket, my best friend emerges as an archmage, and my parents – well let's just say leaving them behind is one of the best parts of getting away.
So be it. Not being a mage means I'll have to struggle to succeed. No matter how weird things get, I'll make it. I lost my brother and I'll probably lose my best friend to the world of magic. All I can do is depend on myself.
But with my luck, that might be difficult.

I nearly didn't finish listening to the audiobook. I found the narrator to be a little flat in tone, and the range was not great. I carried on and told myself the narrator suits the FMC, which is kind of true. Also, true, I may not have been the right moods for this type of book.It struck me as a very young adult. A book to open up minds as the FMC expands and grows. The FMC is not bad. She is strong after all she has gone through and how she's been treated. The neglect and abandoned make me so angry on her behalf, and you learn how she is pretty cool, always helping and trying to learn to better herself. The way the character is written, she strikes me as 16 instead of 20. So a coming if age story.The whole magic world thing is almost background noise to her struggles to get by and find herself and the future.There is no love, obvious love interest, and no spice or smut. There is action, but nothing impactful, and I feel like a slow build for what is to come 3.4 stars
