This was my first book from this author. As I understand it, this is a novella set in an existing universe, which I haven't read because I don't read MPreg. I think I got enough enjoyment out of it reading as a standalone though.

This is Cody and Toth's story. Cody is a witch with only a very little magic - abandoned by his blood family because of that, he's on his own, other than a few friends at his coven. Toth is a demon, bound to a witch that he hates, and has to do his bidding, which he also hates. The summoning was fun, the snark between Toth and his summoner was great. I loved how unwilling Toth was, I could see how much he didn't want to do what he was contractually obliged to. Cody was such a ray of sunshine, I loved how he turned all the things he was supposed to be inconvenienced by into a positive by the end of the day.

I loved the Cody 'reveal' too, and his interactions with Toth. Yes it was quick but with fated mates that's usually the case and these two really worked well together. It's a fun story and if there are more in this series then I'd be happy to read more.

I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
