“The Conduit” is a book I have never come across before. It was a different kind of young adult book that I’m used to, but I did like it. Celeste Garrett and her siblings are sent to live with their Grams in Tennessee since their Mom is in Michigan trying to sell their house there.  All Celeste wants to do when she gets there is head off to her college so she can start working on her degree.
But instead, she is being told she is destined to save the world by a stranger who appears in the woods one day this stranger, of course, is not human. Celeste’s ancestors made a pack with the Gryphon many years ago, and now Celeste is to be “The Conduit,” and she will harness powers from the Gryphon.  Her brother, Gabe and her sister, Kendall are also part of saving the world.
If they do not accept their destiny, then the seekers (or otherwise known as demons) will take over the world. There is one seeker out to find Celeste already and seek her out for his boss since she holds the key to everything.  If the seekers find Celeste, he will let his boss know, and Celeste will be in danger.
It is up to Celeste and her family to make sure the seeker never tells his boss. Here comes the training of a lifetime for Celeste and her siblings and of course some strange things start happening to all of them, and now they need to keep what they are hidden.

“The Conduit” is a very humorous young adult story that I found very entertaining.  It took me a while to get into it until the Garrett siblings found out what they were destined to do.  Celeste, Gabe, and Kendall are siblings where they tend to fight with each other.  There is one part between Celeste and Gabe that I could not stop laughing about in the book.  Gabe got his pride hurt let’s say that. I connected very well with all three of the siblings when reading “The Conduit,” and I cannot wait to read more about them in the second book. Poor Celeste, I felt terrible for her and when she was told the truth, and I was even more sympathetic of her during the end of the book.  =*( Stacey Rourke left me hanging at the end and what happened to the boy that Celeste had feelings for in the story.

I recommend this book to readers who love the young adult genre and love fantasy and paranormal elements. Just be prepared to want to read the second book since you will want to know what happens next to the Garret siblings.
