Evocation by S.T. Gibson is a queer paranormal fantasy with romance elements and the first book in The Summoner’s Circle series.
I did a blended read with my advanced reader copy and the audiobook, which is narrated by Oscar Reyes. I had a lot of fun reading this book! In general, I’m a fan of Gibson’s prose, and I was pleased with this one as well.
Moira is probably my favorite character. I love that she speaks up for what she wants and how she’s pretty good at communicating and establishing boundaries. That’s always good to see!
With all the talk of demons, I was expecting this to read darker than it is. It has a sense of humor, or snark, that reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Veronica Mars. On the romance side of things, we have a triangle which includes rivals to lovers and second chance romance tropes.
CW: childhood abuse (off-page, mentioned), alcoholism, anxiety, obsessive compulsion, blood
