A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon: ‘Whimsically sexy, charmingly romantic, and magically hilarious.’ Ali Hazelwood

Product Information

I was mentioning on someone else’s blog today that I didn’t used to be a fan of paranormal romances. But generally it's a very light read (chicken aside), so if you're not looking for anything serious or hard to read, then this is perfect. The characters come across as teenagers instead of adults and I'm not sure if it's because they seem two-dimensional or that the writing is really immature in a sense. Because of the way she treated him, I just could not see why Oz would want to spend decades with her and leave his life and duties and everything he's ever known. He could not have left her side till the bargain was completed and yet she belittled him over and over, gave him no respect and always doubted him even though he was always forthcoming and honest, did not hide anything from her.

Here’s the quick recap of plot: before Mariel Spark’s birth, the wind, the earth and the stars had all signified that she was going to be the strongest witch in the generations of the famed magic family. Because of their circumstances, Mariel and Oz take time to warm up to each other, starting with friendship and then moving to romance.These aspects of the story were extremely excessive and I simply did not have the mental headspace and patience for such BS. Suddenly, the two are reluctant roommates and at risk of losing not only her soul, but her magic as well, Mariel must resist her resident demon-plane cowboy.

But Ozroth has a limited amount of time to strike the deal, and if Mariel gives up her soul, she’ll lose all her emotions – including love – which will only spell disaster for them both.I quite nearly dnf'd this at one point because I found it so difficult to listen to her family continuously berate her on page over and over again. I completely understand that he was literally trying to steal her soul at the beginning but that dropped off super quickly and I’m probably just biased. She wasn’t my favorite heroine, but she was lovable and handled the whole soul stealing demon bit with the same grace as I would have (none). I generally adore paranormal romcoms that are set in a modern world and this one is a great example! Our heroine just wants to find a way to live the life she wants when she's thrown into an accidental soul with a demon (who has his own accidental human soul).

When she accidentally summons a demon, the two are trapped together until they can figure out a way out of a bargain for her soul. Sarah Hawley is the author of A Witch’s Guide to Fake-Dating a Demon and A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch. That enemies to lovers - force proximity, fake relationship tropes blended in environmental messages perfectly! But Ozroth has a limited amount of time to strike the deal, and if Mariel gives up her soul, she'll lose all her emotions - including love - which will only spell disaster for them both.Not knowing what to tell her mother Mariel claims Oz is her new boyfriend to hide the fact he’s a demon after her soul. There are also some bumpy times on their path to their HEA, but they do fall in love and they do get steamy.
