This captivating prequel sets the stage for the "Deals with Demons" series. Danica, driven by the need to avenge her mother’s death, targets an ancient fae artifact. The catch? It belongs to Samael, the powerful demon who rules the country. Despite the risks, Danica is determined to steal it, hoping the reward justifies the danger. This short story introduces the complex relationship between Danica and Samael, building anticipation for what's to come. The novella hooked me with its engaging plot, strong character dynamics, and the promise of an exciting urban fantasy series. This is a must-read introduction if you enjoy stories with demons, dragons, and high-stakes adventures.

Pointless exposition, grammatical errors and wooden writing.

FOOL THE DEMON was a great introduction to this world and I'm really excited to see where things go with Danica and Samael. They had great chemistry even though they only spent a quick moment on page together.
