The Lies We Conjure - a riveting magical mystery for YA lovers

The Lies We Conjure by Sarah Henning is a YA whodunnit bringing together a coven of witches and some regular non magical innocents in the play for their lives. The author has masterfully combined the elements of unwitting humans caught in the midst of the annual witch meeting where the matriarch is murdered and the chase commences!

The non magical sisters are true to life with Ruby being the responsible older sister and Wren the i-always-get-my-way sibling. There is a murderer rife in the locked Hegemony manor and the unwilling participants have 72 hours to find the murdered while also solving clues to find the master relics - add in some family angst, growing pains and some LGBTQ friendly characters to the mix, and voila! A multiple POV escape room-esque thriller, perfect for a rainy day.

Thank you to the Tor Teen Publicity for sharing the ARC with me! This was a delicious read indeed!
