Synopsis

November 1999. North Dana, Massachusetts. Nesbit Nuñez discovers the partially devoured body of Bastion Attia: star quarterback, secret witch, and Nesbit’s even-more-secret boyfriend. No one knew why brilliant, gentle Bastion lived his life by a seemingly arcane set of rules, including a strange manner of speech and an inability to say his own name. Now the remaining members of North Coven—Nesbit, Dove, Drea, and Brandy—vow to get answers. Nothing can prepare them for what they uncover: Bastion had been locked in a terrifying battle of wits and wills with something living deep beneath an ancient mausoleum in the local cemetery. North Coven must confront the red-gloved monster that took piece after piece of Bastion, that he fought until his last breath. Not knowing that Bastion left behind the key to its destruction... Now, Conjurers is a wildly original, spine-chilling YA debut about queer found family and a love that outlasts death.

Reviews

From page one, this book grabbed me and never let go. I devoured it in one weekend, and it left me wanting for more of this strange and intriguing setting where witches are real and monsters lurk behind our deepest desires and wishes.

Goodreads review by Natasha

4.5 Stars Strange, unusual and so very very addictive! The Craft meets Stephen King’s IT in this occult-based, YA Horror debut that I found both fascinating and creepy in equal measure. Bursting with 90s nostalgia and a spine-chilling coming of age premise, we follow a group of queer, witchy teens wh......more

Goodreads review by Mallory

When I saw the cover for this one I admit I hesitated as it didn’t draw me in, but once I got into the story I was enthralled. I started with the audiobook but only made it about 25 percent before I switched to physical book and devoured the rest. The narrator did a good job, it was me not the book.......more


Quotes

This novel is an easy-to-read occult thriller inspired by ’90s cult classics with a likable cast of cool, queer, Wiccan goth heroes. Kölsch holistically integrates serious issues, such as grief, neurological differences, religion and faith, parental abuse, and a variety of intersectional queer identities, with a deft touch that keeps the book both eerie and light in pleasantly equal measure . . . . A rollicking and thoughtful take on the be-careful-what-you-wish-for trope.
