I read The Invocations by Krystal Sutherland. Thank you, NetGalley and Penguin Group.

This is the story of three young women. One spends her day at a college campus, using magic to make it so people don’t recognize her. She constantly thinks about how she has to keep under the radar and keeps in shape by spending a lot of time at the gym. The second is a rich young woman with her own house and money from her father, but she is also attached to four demons. The first two demons were improperly attached to her, so she attached the other two as they would be compelled to keep her alive so they could eat her soul. Now she is looking for a real witch, one that could hopefully save her from the demons that plague her. The third young woman is a genius still in high school. She is looking for more information on witches’ spells, specifically ones that can raise the dead, as her sister was murdered almost a year ago.

One day the rich woman and young genius are called by the same policewoman to the site of a strange murder. Both of them pay to get on the scene, and both realize that they are looking for the same sort of answers. Both looking for a witch with real magic that can help them. That’s when they find that all the women who have been killed had a piece of skin removed, and this last one had the card that could lead them to the person who attached her soul to demons.

That’s when the two find their way to the witch in the college, and the search for the woman’s murderer begins. As the story continues, the women look to their past, present, and future for answers to their own personal problems, and the bigger one at large.

I found the overall story a little dragging at parts, but overall an enjoyable book. Some of the themes and morals of the story were a bit on the nose. But if you enjoy witchy books, this book is definitely one to pick up.
