EVOCATION by S.T. GIBSON (Overview, Book Review, Discussion) // The Summoner's Circle 1

Thrilled to discuss Evocation by ST Gibson, which is book 1 in the new Summoner's Circle series! This is an urban fantasy polyamory romance that follows David, his ex-boyfriend Rhys, and Rhys's wife Moira. At this time, The Summoner's Circle series is intended to be a quartet, with each book switching its focus between David, Rhys, Moira, and Leda.

I talk about Saint Gibson's strengths in character portrayal, tension, and writing messy relationships, and I also read a quick excerpt from the beginning of chapter 4 from Moira's POV. With demonic possession, secret society rivalry, addiction and relapse, and intimate scenes that almost read like a screenplay, there's lots to love in Evocation by Saint Gibson!
