Spandex & Sleuthing: Book 1 in The Dominion Point Mystery Series
At Dominion Point Academy, legacies are forged, secrets simmer under spandex suits—and murder is a required course.
Paige Calloway has zero powers, a stubborn streak a mile wide, and a legendary superhero family name she’s tired of tripping over. When she’s unexpectedly accepted into the elite Strategist Track, she hopes to finally carve her own path… right up until a suspicious death rocks the academy.
Armed with little more than a sharp mind, a chip on her shoulder, and a sarcastic ex-vigilante grandmother who thinks burnt toast is a food group, Paige is drawn into a mystery that could shatter everything the academy stands for.
As alliances shift and danger closes in, Paige must rely on her wits—and a grumpy, dangerously perceptive mentor who might just see too much—to outsmart a killer hiding among heroes.
At Dominion Point, power isn’t always what it seems. And survival? Well, that’s never been guaranteed.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a twist of capes, slow-burn romance, and smart, determined heroines who know how to find trouble—and a murderer—before trouble finds them.

Superheroes and secrets
So there’s good and there’s less good. I enjoyed the concept very much it kinda reminds me of the Bigtime series by Jennifer Estep or a little of the Hidden Legacy by Ilona Andrews except it’s more cozy mystery and academy trope. It took me a minute to figure out that by Dominions the authors meant super powers, maybe that’s just me but I thought dominion more along the lines of territories rather than powers. I like Paige, Serra and Celeste they make a good team and they balance each other both with skills and personalities. Loved Paige’s grandmother Evie she’s a hoot and I can’t wait to see if she makes more acerbic cameos in future books. The mystery was very interesting. Felt a bit like mission impossible but the determined trio made good on their promise to find truth, justice who knows not even them.
What I didn’t like as much the prose. It’s very heavy on angst and exposition. After a while it gets a little repetitive and redundant and yes I know those describe the same thing. Every thought does not need to be voiced or written out and every chapter doesn’t need a sum up only to have it summed up again in the beginning of the next chapter. So you see redundant and repetitive.
Overall a very good beginning and I’m excited to read more books in this series.

I have read the author's ‘Godslayer Academy’ series, and at first, I thought I was seeing echoes in the storylines. But it didn’t take very long for me to realize that the similarities I thought I was seeing were simply the academy setting and the fact that our heroine was digging for a truth others wanted to stay buried. I particularly loved how complex the results of that search for the truth were. I really like the premise behind this new series, and I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble Paige gets into next.

A fabulous new spellbinding novel from the talented Queen of the Supernatural Cozy, Isadora Brown, Spandex and Sleuthing sees Paige Galloway at the Hogwarts-like Dominion Point Academy, with new friends Serra and Celeste.

Paige Calloway comes from a well known superhero family and wants to forge her own path, so when she's accepted to Dominion Point Academy she's ready to prove herself. This is a fun read with great characters, a cozy mystery, and unexpected twists that pulled me into the story. I love the world building and the well developed characters, and after that ending I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Spandex and Sleuthing is book one and a fabulous start to The Dominion Point Mystery. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Wow, had to force myself to stop reading to absorb some nourishment.
From the very first page to the very end I was so engrossed. In this multi Mystery series this story actually had an ending which really had me wanting more.
If you don't read this story you are really missing out.
Very highly recommended.
