Conjured- By Sarah Beth Durst- GG
Eve has no memory of her life before now. She’s told she’s the ultimate target of a serial killer, and that she must remain under the protection of WitSec, an organization dedicated to the protection of people threatened by magic criminals. But whenever she uses her own magic, she faints with visions of a carnival- until she meets Zach. In fact, they learn that Eve somehow exhales magic(???). By breathing her breath, Zach (or anyone else, for that matter) can use her magic without harming Eve. When she’s told by several other magic people from other worlds (again, ???) that after WitSec captures the criminal they’ll kill her too, Eve embarks on a quest to find her past, entering an obstacle course of what people tell her is true. Her increasingly frequent blackouts aren’t exactly helping, because she forgets weeks after each one. Finally, she runs away with Zach to the other worlds, and they find the carnival from her visions. The Storyteller, her “mother” tells her to leave, but her Magician “father” returns and he turns her into the doll she was meant to be before WitSec’s many surgeries made her human. And for the grand spoiler: The people her father killed in her creepy visions were all magic, and were killed so that Eve could drain their magic and so that the Magician could use her magic breath like a battery for his magic acts. This book was made to look creepy and everything, but I think it failed rather epicly. It was more cheesy than anything, and it was kind of like, Oh, is there a problem with this already failing plot? I know, we’ll just have this girl’s magic breath save the day! It was really boring during the climax to have it be all, magic this, magic that. There wasn’t any real problem solving used by the characters, and the result was kind of lame. But it's still kind of creepy, for those of you who like that...
