Conjure by Harleigh Beck
3.5

Ahhh, I’ve been tricked! I thought something entirely different was happening in the epilogue until the POV switch revealed the truth, leaving me staring at the wall, processing what I’d just read. It’s horror, after all, and a guaranteed HEA wasn’t on the table—so maybe I tricked myself.

This was my first Harleigh Beck book, and it definitely won’t be my last. While it was pretty messed up, I genuinely enjoyed it. The writing was well done, and the plot had me turning pages right to the end. The creepy atmosphere got under my skin and made me shiver more than once. If it weren’t for the middle section, where spicy scenes seemed to pop up out of nowhere and felt awkwardly placed in my opinion, I probably would have given it a full 4 stars. Regardless, it was very spicy and filthy in a dark and depraved hate-to-love kind of way, though there was one questionable moment not involving the MMC that definitely turned my stomach. 

Overall, I loved the storyline, atmosphere, and characters and I had a fantastic, creepy time reading Conjure. I’d recommend it to anyone craving a dark, eerie, and spicy read—just keep in mind that the ending might not go the way you’re hoping.
