Reviews with content warning for Animal death - A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon

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.

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 :/

3.0

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

This book made me literally laugh out loud several times, which is an impressive feat! It was a fun spooky season romance, with a good amount of very hot spicy scenes. I'm not a big fan of the big-strong-man trope, so there were a couple of moments that weren't for me, but his physical size and strength were nicely balanced by her powerful magic. Speaking of her magic, I absolutely loved it. I was invested in the relationship but her power may have been my favorite thing about this book. I'm a big fan of women walking into the woods and embracing their power storylines (think "Uprooted" by Naomi Novik). One important content warning I want to give is for animal death. I will often walk away from a book with animal death, but I decided to keep going after it happened in this one, and I'm glad to say it didn't happen again. More on the animal death content warning here:

It happens near the beginning to the chicken. It was much more gross than I would have liked, but I did like that the characters took it seriously and were sad about it even though it was a bit light-handed.
