Evocation, by ST Gibson

David, a lawyer who doubles as a medium in his spare time, is suddenly being intermittently possessed by a demon. He turns to his ex-boyfriend, Rhys, and Rhys’ wife Moira, for help. The complicated relationship between the three makes this a difficult task, and the demon keeps getting stronger…

I’m not sure what to say about this book. There were definitely parts I liked. I enjoyed the occult bits, and I liked the realistic polyamory rep. Beyond that, though, I didn’t particularly like any of the three characters, and the few smut scenes (particularly the two straight smut scenes – the one gay scene was slightly better) were pretty cringey. That’s coming from someone who enjoys smut scenes generally.

This is the beginning of a series, but I don’t think I’ll continue with it. If I liked the characters better, I probably would, but I found them just slightly under the line of likability too far to make me want to read their story further. Oh well.
