Book 62 is "Evocation" by S.T. Gibson, book 1 of the Summoner's Circle series.

#currentlyreading #bookstodon #stgibson #thesummonerscircle #evocation

The cover of the book.

A blond man is hanging upside down from a rope tied around his ankle; his other leg is folded at the knee 90 degrees on the typical "Hanged Man" tarot card image.
His hands are behind his back, and a red clawed arm reaches over his waist to clutch at his heart - which is ringed with magic.
He is wearing a fancy waistcoat and jacket, and a cloak that falls down to the bottom of the image behind his head.
In the background are numerous candles.
The whole image is bordered with silver filigree and the alchemical symbols for the four elements.

Craigmar feels like it is out of space and time, wrapped up in folk stories, wild grasses, cold lochs, windswept hills, bottles of wine, titillating games, and books by firelight. 4⭐️

Ares had his first book signing today with the amazing @stgibson.bsky.social ❤️ I loved hearing about her love of gothic media and her inspiration for her stories. Her new book, Ascension, is book 2 in The Summoner's Circle series

I knew turning Alexei would cause so much trouble for Drac, and it is what he deserves, lmao.

Part 3 of A Dowry of Blood has me thinking about how, despite being a vampire, Dracula still uses human tactics to control his brides. There is nothing new or creative in what he is doing.

Side note: A Dowry of Blood is what I imagine is an accurate version of Bella and Edwards relationship in Twilight would be like.

This take on Dracula is refreshing in that he is a predator, not because he is a man, but because he is a man with immortality, time, and desires, which is dangerous in itself.

Constanta, I need you to do yourself and Magdalena a favor and just kill the old man and run off to be lesbians.

Constanta truly is the definition of bi panic. Magdalena really put her head in a spin.

So after reading the first part, I am enthralled with how Gibson writes Dracula to be the manipulative creep he is.

Girl, he hates when you ask questions and tells you not to make friends with others (humans). Run, Girl. He is toxic.

I have always been interested in Dracula's deception as a man of science, even though he is a supernatural.

There is something so profound, so brutal, so loving about taking a monster and making him into a man.

Q: Have you ever played with magic?

Evocation is one of the best examples of 21st century urban fantasy I’ve read yet. You'll end up caring for all three so much. I cried. LOVED IT. 5⭐️
