The book was great and easy to read. As someone who experiences anxiety the trigger warnings were accurate. I did struggle getting through some spots because of the triggers, but overall the experience was good. If you don’t struggle with anxiety I say go for it read it, but if you struggle with anxiety and have triggers I would say to tread carefully. I read this book in less than 10h it was that good.

The definition of spice with a plot!

I was very apprehensive about starting this book as I am not a fantasy fan - I find fantasy really daunting and quite confusing but my god am I glad I read it! 

The spicy story of a witch and a demon was just amazing, the plot had depth, side characters were developed (and have made me crave a sequel), the spice was different to anything I had ever read and it was just an all round great book.

I loved the little magical elements Isaly put into this book with little teachings about different spiritual things between each chapter.  The artwork throughout the book was super cute and mystical too.

I would definitely recommend this book to any spicy reader - especially those who love some fantasy smut, but also to those like me who are usually a little scared by it!
