Narrative Supposing Books Conjured
Eve has a new home, a new face, and a new name—but no memories of her past. She’s been told that she's in a witness protection program. That she escaped a dangerous magic-wielding serial killer who still hunts her. The only thing she knows for sure is that there is something horrifying in her memories the people hiding her want to access—and there is nothing they won’t say—or do—to her to get her to remember.At night she dreams of a tattered carnival tent and buttons being sewn into her skin. But during the day, she shelves books at the local library, trying to not let anyone know that she can do things—things like change the color of her eyes or walk through walls. When she does use her strange powers, she blacks out and is drawn into terrifying visions, returning to find that days or weeks have passed—and she’s lost all short-term memories. Eve must find out who and what she really is before the killer finds her—but the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.

Okay, wow. Wow.wow.wow.wow.Wow.I know Sarah Beth Durst. I met her shortly after her first book (INTO THE WILD) and mine came out, and I've followed her wonderful career ever since. Every one of her books has been something different, and but they are always, ALWAYS, good.And then came CONJURED.Sweet fancy Moses.I mean, this might very well be her best book yet. Much as I love ICE, there was something about this book that really went . . . okay, this book is off the rails. In a good way. It'sOkay, I'm sorry friend, but I pretty much hated this book. That extra star up there? That's because I feel bad about hating this book when she liked it so much. (*spoilers abound! Be warned!*)SO I suppose you've read the blurb to get this far, right? Witness protection program, creepy magical serial killer, the works?Yeah I'm here to tell you that there's a lot less creepy magical serial killer and witness protection program than there is cringey instalove, awkward snark, and a heroine who's
Tomorrow it will be full three months since I read this book. Surprising, really.As a book that has left such a lasting impression in me I cannot even determine whether I loved this book or hated this book for it to be so unforgettable.Three months and I can still conjure images of the Storyteller sewing buttons into Eve's skin and it still leaves me in goosebumps.I can picture the desperation of the Magician's victims. I can picture the black whirlpool of Eve's memories - of losing hours, days,
Review originally posted on Bibliophilia, Please. Sometimes, a book can surprise you. I was surprised by Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst because I actually finished reading it. The book wasn't bad, but I went into it blind (I didn't read the synopsis), and Conjured really wasn't the right book for that. The main character, Eve, had no memories or any idea of what was going on. Therefore, I had no idea what was going on until maybe the last sixty pages. However, I liked Eve enough to make the
I've tried to read this three or four times since I bought it. I don't know what it is, but something about it annoys me, so I never made more than 10-20 pages before putting it back on the TBR stack.This afternoon, I skimmed what I'd read before (still vaguely annoying) and tried to move on from there....Shortly after, a guy named Zach is introduced... Instalove, I suspect. Ugh. One of my pet peeves - especially in YA books.That by itself is annoying enough but how does he introduce himself? "I
I was first drawn to this book due to the simple, yet striking cover. I thought the heart with pin needles stuck through it was quite intriguing and the title Conjured got me very excited to read about magic! However, the blurb makes it sound a lot more exciting and gripping than it actually was. 150 pages in and I was still left waiting for something spectacular to occur. I found I couldn't connect with any of the characters and I found them to be quite dull and lackluster. The plot, while
Actual rating - 2.5Conjured felt about 600 pages long! I felt sorry for Eve, because most of the time she had no clue what was going on.. but because of her being confused all the time, i couldn't warm to her enough to like her. The pacing in this was just way too slow for me. It took ages to get answers, and because of that, i was just as confused as Eve was! It felt like i had read for hours when i was about a quarter of the way in, so when i got to the the end, it was a huge relief. Overall,
