This dark, deliciously twisted novel has everything you could hope

Iris' smart and assured narration easily carries a fast-paced story
entwining themes of grief and loss with elements of folklore and
some very inventive body horror. The pervasive feeling of dread
builds to a shocking twist. A lush and darkly twisted modern fairy
tale. - Praise for House of Hollow
*Kirkus*
Sutherland's Invocations has been one of my favourite reads of the
year. This story is exceptionally crafted. Equal parts visceral and
haunting, its twists and turns will lure readers in, and its
compulsive plot will keep them engrossed until the end.
*Ayana Gray, New York Times-bestselling author of Beasts of Prey
trilogy*
With a pulse-pounding mystery at its core and three angry,
brilliant young women as its lead, this witchy fantasy thriller is
a must-read - darkly funny, twisty and brilliantly original, it
grips you all the way through to its intricately plotted
climax.
*Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills*
Fans will adore the twisty, heartstopping plot, and how a group of
determined teenage girls bring down evil patriarchal
structures.
*The Bookseller*
It is the perfect combination of dark and thrilling.
*Armadillo*
This mythological novel blends advocating for women to take back
their power, including the gentle side of a dash of queer romance,
with genres such as horror, thriller, mystery, fantasy, science
fiction and the supernatural. The Invocations will have you
anticipating the next page, unsure of where this tale may lead. It
keeps readers on the edge of their seats with compelling leads
combined with unexpected twist plots. This is a book that truly
can't be put down until its finished. Sutherland has truly
captivated readers with this novel just as she has done previously
with novels such as House of Hollow.
*Reading Zone*
This furious, seductive 14+ horror-fantasy will appeal to fans of
Holly Black and Melissa Albert.
*The Guardian*
The Invocations is a pitch-black, pitch-perfect fantasy for those
looking for their next fix of a grisly, gloriously feminist tale of
reclaiming power and finding ones kin, a tale that is sure to put a
spell on each and every reader...
*Set the Tape*
Sutherland's book begins as an eerie serial killer thriller with a
heavy dose of supernatural chills, but it evolves into the
collective battle cry of persecuted women. The end result is a
witchy story that's at once powerful, lyrical and genuinely
scary.
