I give Allure 4 paws due to the multi ethnic portrayals and easy relationships. I can't wait for the rest of the world to get their hands on Allure so they can love it like I do! Nolan introduces new characters and eliminates old ones you'll be conflicted. Scary stuff! Lea Nolan shares her hoodoo knowledge and makes me feel like I'm reading Delia's book of spells myself! There are only a few points of contention in the book, which I'll not share for fear of spoiling, but let's just say, that the boo hags aren't the only things that will upset you. I can see why Delia didn't want the kids to run into any. And believe me, boo hags are the stuff of nightmares. You know why? If you were wondering what boo hags looked like after reading Conjure, you'll find out in Allure. You can imagine I was over the moon when, through a little hoodoo magic, I conjured up an advanced copy of Allure, the sequel to Conjure!Īllure is just as good as Conjure, but maybe just a tad better. I loved Conjure so much! It's so refreshing to read a YA book that's not too mushy and is appropriate for the younger YAs, 12-14.
Not only is he Jack's best friend but he's also currently Emma's boyfriend, though he's nealry two year older. Then we add Cooper to the mix and it's like the icing on the cake. I don't remember getting to see a whole lot of that during Conjure - well at least not where Jack was always having Emma's back and protecting her. I've always wanted to be a twin just to be able to experience that twin bond that most share (though, my luck I'd get a twin that didn't share that bond and it would've been all for nothing).
I love, absolutely love the relationship between twin siblings Jack and Emma.
Can't say I didn't see a lot of it coming but she was able to slip one in on me that I didn't suspect.
I really enjoyed Allure a lot more than Conjure, actually. But let's put the ages aside and talk about the book because, let's be honest, that's what it's all about. This isn't a bad thing I've reviewed MG before and it's fine you just have to go in to it with a different mindset. Not only because of the ages because of the content and the dialogue. I'd actually consider this series borderline Middle Grade and Young Adult. My biggest issue with Conjure was the ages of these characters and while it's still an issue, for me, it's not as big of one during Allure.
