"Conjured" by Sarah Beth Durst is probably one the most chilling and surprising stories that I have ever read. And honestly, it took my version of creepy and magical to a whole new level, but sadly, only when things started to really unravel near the end of the story. At the beginning of "Conjured", everything was moving a decent pace, but nothing gripping was happening. I understand that the story had to unfold in order for things to get suspenseful, but once I was already in the middle of story, everything just seemed like it was at the start of the book. I kept reading though and when I reached the end, I swear my brain exploded. Everything that the characters, I thought, just didn't matter anymore. The whole plot was blown so out of proportion that I couldn't wait to see what happened right before everything so crazily ended. For a while around the end, I was so sucked into the book, that I thought that I was IN the main character's shoes. Once I snapped out of it though, I was so scared for the heroine that I thought was going to die. "Conjured" is a stand alone book though, so I expected there to be at least somewhat of a happy ending. (And thank God there was). So general summary of my review: the beginning of the book and middle of the book was basically dead, but there was such a dramatic turn of events near the end, that I was left stunned. Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
