Hand to mature readers who like a little LGBTQIA+ romance with their witchcraft and necromancy."—School Library Journal, starred review"An empowering story about women fighting back against the violence of men and making the choice to forge one’s own path in a hostile world, in addition to a grotesque murder mystery sprinkled with demonic deals.

I loved it.”—Katherine Webber, bestselling author of Twin Crowns“Lyrical, grotesque and pulsing with feminist rage, this is sapphic horror at its very finest. Sutherland is a luminous (albeit slightly terrifying) talent.”—Laura Steven, author of The Society for Soulless Girls"Sutherland’s Invocations has been one of my favorite reads of the year.
