"New York is where I go in my head a lot when I’m writing. I have deep imprints of the city in my backbone: sounds, smells, music, pizza parlors, Chelsea Hotel, TV, fire hydrants oozing, the Lower East Side, people everywhere living their lives inside-out, on top, and through each other… maybe there is something even more in the memories old New York in the ‘70s—unpolished, unclean, lived in. It’s all there in this coming of age story of a young Puerto Rican boy/man. I feel this story all around in my memory bank."

Conjured begins where the first book left us; mourning the loss of a character. In this book we are afforded the opportunity to continue to see the deepening relationship of Alexandria and Peter. Alexandria's powers truly begin to develop and we are knocked off of our feet by startling revelations and developments along the way.

The cliff hanging ending of book two took my breathe away and I cannot wait to read the next book. Chelsea will quickly become a new favorite author for those looking for an amazing and spellbinding writer. This is a must read book for both young and old alike.
