January Blues by Jax Stuart

5.0

We've all had a case of the January Blues am I right? The magical time of the holiday season is over and now all those credit card bills come due. Not to mention the few extra pounds that seem to linger from all those Christmas cookies. Or maybe that's just me? Well poor, basically magicless witch Cody is having a tougher time than most during this particular January. His entire family has up and left him to parts unknown. Someone also recently hired a hitman to kill him. Although, that particular event could be seen as a positive. You'll get it once you read the book. Or likely it could just be that someone has summoned a demon to make his life utterly miserable. Yeah, that's most likely it.

Toth aka the demon summoned to fuck with Cody HATES being called to the human realm. He's quite happy living his demon life in his own dimension with his farm and hell cat. I immediately took to him. He's funny and sarcastic. He's also got a few morals I admired, though he's still a demon so don't be expecting a saint. Though he tries his hardest to get Cody down, it continually backfires which leads him to option 2: Seduction. I bet he never thought his plan would lead him to the love of his life.

I really enjoyed this novella. It was a lot of fun and also introduced us to some new characters *cough Damon cough* that I would LOVE to see in a future book. This novella is a spin off from the Sweetwater Pack series, but don't fret if you haven't read them yet, (WHY HAVENT YOU READ THEM YET!!?) because January Blues can most definitely stand alone. I do think it may up your enjoyment a tad more since there are a few small cameos, but nothing that would cause confusion.
