A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley
4.0
Astaroth, Ozroth’s former mentor, demon lord and all around PITA from book 1 is back! This time around it seems that Astaroth is going to get a bit of a nasty surprise at the hands of his enemies! He really should have known better than to make a bet or bargain with a demon!
Calladia, is not your typical FMC. She is strong, stubborn and sometimes comes across as downright unlikeable. But as with every worthwhile character she has a bit of a history and with a mother like hers, I'd be as anti-everything-mum-wants too! She's never been afraid of a fight or supporting the under-dog but when a rescue reveals the rescuee as Astaroth - even Calladia takes a moment to wonder what she's got herself into!
Calladia and Astaroth may have been on opposite sides but now find themselves as grudging teammates as they set off on an epic adventure to regain Astaroth's memories and save demonkind!
Astaroth was going to have to work hard to win me over after being a complete and utter PITA previously. I enjoyed learning about his past, his openness to relationships with all kinds of beings, his fascination with Humans and the Earth plane. There was a really symmetry between the politics on the book and in the real world so I actually got swept along with the story. Calladia may be stupidly overreactive occasionally but she is also resourceful, smart and willing to go the extra mile for a worthy cause. She and Astaroth may have been enemies once but there is that dang fine line between love and hate!
Hopefully Themmie is up next and I wonder what kind of chaos will ensue?
