By Evie Seo TOP 500 REVIEWER on September 3, 2013
Format: Hardcover
An ambitious, visually dazzling and completely breathtaking literary triumph - Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst is an absolute must-read for any paranormal fantasy fan out there. This book makes for an extremely compelling, refreshing and emotionally engaging journey - one that you'll want to re-take time and time again. It's entirely unique. It's seamlessly plotted. It's dark and creepy, yet mesmerizing and magical at the same time. Hands down one of my top favorite books ever.

Conjured is a gorgeously told story - one that explores themes of identity, belonging, destiny and love. Reading it was a truly magical experience. I was mesmerized and amazed every step of the way. I loved everything about this book - the luscious detail in which the carnival backdrop was described, the horror of Eve's dreams and visions, the hidden symbolism and the perfectly satisfying ending. This tale was both uplifting and heartbreaking, sad and wonderfully hopeful. Full of meaning. I loved how new and fresh everything felt - I've never read anything like it before! Every page of Conjured shines with creativity and uniqueness.

The plot line itself was incredibly well thought out and gripping. I did not want to stop reading. I loved the mystery behind Eve's character and how it slowly unravelled through visions and dreams. Many aspects of this tale were downright scary - like the magician-turned-serial-killer who would cut his victims into pieces and then keep their remains in special boxes, or Eve's disturbing memories resurfacing while she was unconscious - but there were also other aspects of it that were incredibly beautiful, meaningful and moving. Some of them were positive and heart-warming, others.. simply tragic.

When I finished reading Conjured, my first thought was, "Why wasn't this a short story?" The first 75% was an uninteresting and somewhat confusing mish-mash of genres: lost memories, a serial killer, and magic. The last 25% threw in a crazy, creepy twist and featured a recapping of the entire plot. I wondered why I had to sit through a full story when it was all going to be explained for me at the end.

In Conjured, Eve has no memories of her past. She has two mysterious caretakers who play good cop and bad cop. Malcolm seems nice enough, but Nicki speaks to Eve with a sneering, sinister tone. Eve is in a witness protection program for reasons unknown, and Malcolm and Nicki instruct Eve to have as little interaction with others as possible. At the same time, they set her up with a library job that ensures she will have personal interactions. They tell Eve that even though she's capable of performing magic, she is not to do so in public. Of course, that doesn't last very long. Somehow, the goal of all of this is to get Eve to regain her memories so she can help identify a serial killer. Is this all making sense?

At her library job, Eve meets another employee named Zach who immediately says, "I think it's a shame that it's customary to shake hands upon greeting when what I really want to do is kiss your lips and see if you taste like strawberries." Most people would be disturbed or disgusted by such a greeting, but our Eve loves it. They are soon kissing and (literally) flying, with the help of Eve's magic.

Eve meets a group of odd teenagers who seem to only speak the language of snark, and they possess magical talents, too. There's a scene straight out of X-Men: First Class when the group and Eve all show off their talents.

This book is intense, and like all psychological books, it can be confusing at times. The protagonist spends much of the beginning of the novel with amnesia, and she spends most of her time observing and staying quiet. I loved the mystery of it. I usually figure out most of the "twists" and mysteries in stories because I am constantly scouring for the little clues the author leaves. This book does not disappoint - you will have all the clues, think you know what's going on, but the author will still surprise you. There are times when it gets a little too confusing, even for me, and I found myself saying out loud "What?? What is going on??" but I'm very glad I stuck with it, as the resolution to this mystery absolutely does not disappoint.

"`You have to trust yourself. In the end, that's all you have. You.'

'I don't know who I am,' I said.

'Then find out.'"

In all this mystery and creepiness is the story of a girl literally trying to find herself. Her quest for identity, for self-sufficiency and power in a world that is wildly out of her control is very real, and hit me on a lot of emotional levels. It's hard to talk about this book without giving too much away, except to say that if you find yourself feeling lost, don't give up. Press on. The second half of the book is definitely worth whatever confusion was caused in the first half.

"You've made yourself ... Maybe you didn't start out that way. Maybe your childhood was crap. ... It doesn't matter what happened in the past or what other people think of you in the present. What matters is who you are. And you... you're amazing!
