*I was gifted an advanced reading copy by Hot Key Books in exchange for an honest review*
Hey lovelies, welcome back!
You guys know how much I love Krystal Sutherland's books, she's one of my favourite YA authors. So, when Hot Key Books kindly gifted me an arc of her new book, The Invocations, I was beyond excited and grateful.
Five women are dead. The killer leaves no fingerprints, no DNA and the Police are utterly stumped. In a world where only women can use magic and the men who know about it seek to eradicate them, three damaged young women - one cursed, one hunted, one out for revenge - will team up to track down and take out a brutal supernatural killer.
OMG, Krystal has outdone herself this time! This book possessed me!
Sutherland's writing is descriptive as always; making you gag at the gruesome gangrenous leg wound and decomposing corpses, but also salivate at the champagne and strawberries.
The plot is fast-paced, action-packed and full of surprises, making it an enthralling read. Sutherland has a knack for keeping the reader guessing and building suspense so that the reveal at the end shocks you to your core.
Similarly to House of Hollow, I wouldn't recommend this to readers under 14 as Sutherland acknowledges some quite mature topics such as grooming, sexual assault and domestic abuse, all of which are relevant to the topic she is highlighting in this book – patriarchal power.
Dark, twisted, gruesome and addictive, this is YA horror at it's finest!
Until next time, lovelies!
