Thanks Penguin Teen for the gifted ARC book.
Zara is determined to bring her sister back from the dead. Being the daughter of a billionaire doesn’t prevent Jude from being cursed with a necrotic soul. With a witch for a mom, Emer may be the answer to both of their problems and all three could be what it takes to stop a serial killer.
THE INVOCATIONS combined dark academia with magic and horror. Each of the characters fell into a stereotypical role: the witchy one, the nerdy one, the rebellious one. This felt like a bit much at times and seemed like it prevented overall character development. The writing was atmospheric. There was some gore but not too much. Overall, this was an enjoyable read although not overly memorable as I am writing this a month after reading and am having difficultly recalling any specific details of the book. Even so, I’d still recommend this to fans of YA fantasy/horror who are looking for a witchy read.
