The Invocations is gruesome, unsettling, and honestly quite gross. But in a good way.
Krystal Sutherland is a master at writing grim, goopy, and chilling descriptions coupled with strangely empowering yet real women.
This is an unsettling book that has House of Usher and Umbrella Academy vibes but less superhero and more outcast witches.
It’s heart pounding and head spinning. The only thing bringing it down for me is the slightly slow pacing at times.
