When I first saw the synopsis for this book, I was convinced Gibson looked into my brain and wrote it just for me. Summoning demons, deals with devils, and messy poly relationships? Yes please! And I will not lie, I did eat this up. The characters and relationships was the strongest part of this book by far. I loved how messy and toxic David, Rhys, and Moira were all together. It was a rocky but believable road for them to get where they ended up and I loved every second of it. I was a little disappointed by the demonic curse aspects of the plot, though. It all felt weirdly glossed over and vague and left me a little unsatisfied. It gave me the feeling of things being cut out to keep the page count down. But now that I know the story is more focused on the characters, I'll have my expectations in the right place for the sequel.
