Solid book, interesting take on why demons collect souls.
I really enjoyed magic misfirings and the rules binding the accidentally-summoned demon Oz to a witch. No huge surprises here, of course they get closer and fall for each other. This was a cute and comfy read, and I laughed a couple of times. Will read the other books of the series as well, but probably not right away.

I love the idea and premise of this book. The main characters were great, the banter came around after the FMC/MMC found their bearings with each other. Some of the one-liners had me actually laughing out loud. But almost all of that was drowned out by the nightmare that was Diantha Spark. That witch was horrific to everyone. Her abuse and cruel treatment of her daughter, and the conniving, competitive, overbearing attitude she had toward everyone and everything else in the book made it so difficult to enjoy the rest of the hijinks and story development. I get that Mariel had to overcome all that to find how her magic worked for her and I'm thrilled that she got there eventually, but I almost gave up on this book two or three times because of Diantha alone because I couldn't stand her that much.

Writing: 2.75⭐️/5
The book started with some fine writing, and quickly fell apart. In terms of getting the plot across, the writing did an adequate job, but it didn’t really do ranything else.
Characters: 3.5⭐️/5
The characters were fun, but felt a bit flat and/or cartoonish.
Plot: 3.25⭐️/5
Again, while the overarching plot is incredibly fun, it definitely felt like it had a few more than a few holes. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the demon and the witch attempting to work together and eventually falling in love.
World 3⭐️/5
The world is fun but predictable.
Who Should Read This Book?

I knew, I just KNEW, that Ozroth was another Adam Driver fanfic character. But I quite liked this book! I was surprised by the amount of magic in this book, and I had a really good time with it. Mariel and Oz were really cute except for that freaking third act breakup. That was literally the worst part of the book and completely unnecessary. Authors, be more imaginitive, please. I liked that there was more plot going on than just steamy romance. I thought there were a few loose ends and definitely some contradictory things that happened, especially at the very end of the book, but it's easy to ignore those. Fun read!

while it took me a bit (20%ish) to get into it, once i was in i was IN. i really liked the dynamic between mariel and ozroth and getting to see them both grow individually throughout the book. i also really enjoyed both the smut and how the story eventually ended. i feel like some endings lately in the paranormal romances have fell flat for me, but this one was really good!! i will say - the name ozroth, shortened to oz....??? why was that the final decision for his name bc all i could think of was the wizard of oz :/

A cosy romance read! Nothing groundbreaking but because I was looking for something cute and fun it totally delivered. I read most of it in one sitting, just couldn’t put it down. It was spicier than expected.
Really enjoyed the dynamic between Mariel and Oz! But I’m generally a fan of the grumpy meets sunshine trope.
all the mentions of demon dick cracked me up it was so nicely unhinged
