The Invocations by Krystal Sutherland delivers on its promise of a dark witchy thriller. The story follows three young women: Zara Jones, Jude Wolf, and Emer Bryne. Though their lives are initially seemingly so different, they find themselves intricately connected by what each wants most. Zara is determined to bring her sister back from the dead after she is murdered by a serial killer. Jude seeks a spell worker who can save her cursed soul. And Emer, a witch, seeks power and answers to why her former clients are being murdered by the same serial killer that killed Zara’s sister. Now they must come together in their quest because each has something the other wants/needs. This story is fast-paced, magical and mystical, and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Zara, Jude, and Emer are all such distinct and likable characters full of flaws and strengths that work together to create whole characters that I rooted for throughout the read! This was such a fun and satisfying read that I’d recommend to all fantasy lovers!
