Prophecy Girl (Camille Bishop Book 1) by Ravin Tija Maurice – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Prophecy Girl by Ravin Tija Maurice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Prophecy Girl is the first book in Ravin Tina Maurice’s Camille Bishop series. Bishop is a PI, just starting to take her own cases. What seems like a simple case – a young woman worrying that the man she thinks is her father might not be – quickly turns complicated. The case leads Bishop into a paranormal world, and offers to shed some light on the fate of her own parents.

I like how this series combines the genres of mystery and paranormal. The story is very much grounded in reality, and so takes the reader along when it expands into fantasy.

Bishop is an interesting character. She’s very self-analytical, but nonetheless confident and determined to finish the job. She’s got a good support network and reaches out to them for advice and help – I particularly like her cousin Kiera, who followed the family tradition of joining law enforcement.

This is a great book if you can’t decide whether you want to read a classic mystery or a paranormal adventure. It would also be a good way to get a taste for one of the genres if you’re already familiar with the other – a way to bridge the gap. For me, it’s a four star book. Great characters, and an intriguing story!
