Now, Conjurers by Freddie Kölsch

dark emotional funny hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

 I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of Now Conjuries. I was fortunate to receive an audio version of this book, and I really enjoyed the narrator's style and how he conveyed emotions throughout the book.
This novel evokes a strong sense of nostalgia for the 90s and draws parallels with "The Craft," a popular film from that era. It is rich with pop culture references and kept me on edge at times. What I particularly enjoyed was the coming-of-age theme and the exploration of each character's individual struggles. The story revolves around a group of queer, witchy teenagers who reunite their secret coven to uncover the truth behind the murder of their leader and protagonist Nesbit's boyfriend, Bastion. Overall, it is a delightful and fast-paced young adult horror novel that beautifully encompasses themes of found family, witchcraft, and grief.
