Conjuring Quantico by T.S. Paul

Conjuring Quantico: An urban fantasy FBI thriller (The Federal Witch Book 1)

2 Stars

Agatha Blackmore was sent to the FBI academy to train to be the first FBI Witch.  Day one of her training brought conflict and made her wonder if she would see graduation.  However, when girls related to politicians go missing she is asked to find them.  Using her skills and with the help of her friends will she be able to find the girls before it’s too late?

I wanted to like this story so very much but I hated so many things about it to continue reading the series.  The story was very repetitive.  Like we get it Agatha Blackmore has uncontrollable magic and her family fears her. We get that she was attacked when she first arrived.  Can we please move on? The story also seemed like there was another story that explained a lot of the things in this book.  Looking at the author’s profile this is supposed to be “direct” sequel to a difference series but it’s not clear if these characters were in that series.  Agatha also seemed to know just what she should be doing no matter the situation even though she was supposedly not trained.  It just got old really fast.  The author also brushed aside a lot of deaths like it wasn’t a big deal.  This bothers me because we’re supposed to connect with the characters and then to just meh they died back to our lives.

I did look at the next book in the series and for some reason T.S. Paul decided to skip some years into the future.  This played a role in my review.  The author seems to think timing doesn’t matter and you can skip around and just reference things that happened and you’re golden but reality is that you need those details.
