Ramanu is summoned by a witched name Lenora (Lenora is the granddaughter of a witch who tried to have a romantic and sexual relationship with Ramanu in the past but it didn't work out.) and she asks for their help locating her ex, a man who stole a family heirloom from her, a necklace. They work on getting the necklace back but not before having some sexual fun with each other. The plot was just alright, it wasn't anything too exciting.
The spice in this was okay, nothing spectacular so I'm giving it two chilies š¶ļøš¶ļø out of five chilies. What I didn't like was the small amount of blood play (that wasn't tagged as such), it made my skin crawl and I couldn't get into the spicy scenes.
Overall, this was just okay. The story was fine but I didn't love the spicy scenes so I'm giving this

Seriously though, this book is a DELIGHT. From their very first interaction, Lenora and Ramanu are such an entertaining (and spicy š) duo, and the more I read, the more feral I became. I love everything about them, as characters and as a couple. Their dynamic is basically āyouāre a menaceā/āIām your menace,ā which is 1000% the best ship dynamic and thus makes them completely, undeniably iconic. I donāt make the rules. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Some of my favorite (early, spoiler-free) moments:
1. āāIf you fuck with me, I will kill you.ā
āYouāll try. It will be fun.āā
2. āāIf you touch me again, Iām going to take it as an invitation.ā
āI just attacked you.ā
āBaby, thatās practically foreplay.āā
3. āāIām not going to fuck you.ā
āKeep telling yourself that.āā
Iām cackling just thinking about these!! And yes, they are like this for the entire book. ;))
My one (1) qualm with this book is that I wouldāve liked to see more between the last chapter and the epilogue. I understand why the time jump is there and I absolutely love the epilogue as it is, but likeā¦ I just want more of my ship. I canāt help it.
Current ranking of the Deal With a Demon series:
- The Demonās Bargain (calling it now - this will stay in the #1 spot)
- The Krakenās Sacrifice
- The Dragonās Bride
Current ranking of the Peculiar Tastes series:
- The Demonās Bargain (calling it now - this will also stay in this #1 spot)
- The Death Godās Sacrifice (but the gap between the two books is. a lot.)
Representation:
- two bi/pansexual protagonists (unlabeled, but both attracted to multiple genders)
- nonbinary protagonist that uses they/them (their gender isnāt specifically labeled; Iām using ānonbinaryā as an umbrella term)
- nonbinary side character of color that uses they/them
- sapphic side characters + couples (only one is on-page; both minor)

Mild, consensual injuries during one sex scene. Mild, infrequent self-harm for magical purposes. Murder of a side character via decapitation, on-page but mentioned only briefly.wilybooklover's review against another edition
