So different than other protagonists in this series! And Much different than I was expecting. Robin is an interesting protagonist. The demon reminds me a lot of Riker. Will be interested in continuing to see where this goes.
4.5 stars!
I am loving Zylas and Robin is so amazing!!
TW: social anxiety
They say a character who is too much like you kind of makes it uncomfortable but not for meee!! Marie really hit social anxiety on the nose and I loved that Robin struggles with this because it finally felt so great seeing a character go though similar things that I do—having similar coping mechanisms.
NOW IF ONLY I CAN FIND MY OWN ZYLAS. I guess I’ll be putting our cookies every night this month...but for a different kind of red guy!

*happy sigh* that's pretty much all I can say about that book... oh, and I have a serious craving for cookies!
Worldbuilding:
Rewind the time from Demon Magic and a Martini and we see how events unfolded that led to the demon chase. We learned quite a bit of Demonica and the different demons, though much is still shrouded in mystery.
Character development:
I can honestly say, I relate soooo much with Robin (in her bookish ways that is, unfortunately, I don't have magic *sniff*). She's an introvert and painfully shy, though has a great sense of what is right and wrong. I cannot wait to read more about her and see her opening up more!
Zylas... I must admit I read his name the whole time like he told Robin how to pronounce it. Zuh-yee-las. My brain has a hard time with that for some reason, so I'm just gonna stick to Zylas thank you very much :D
He is still a delightful mystery, not only cause he's so different from his brethren but how he treats Robin. They were a pleasure to read about!
Pacing and flow:
Cookies, cookies, conversation, action and more cookies to tie it all together... mmm cookies...
*ahem*
This book started off a lot slower than we're used to, but it felt right. There were some overlapping scenes with Demon Magic and a Martini with made me so damn happy :D
I love how the series are intertwined!
The book:
The book itself was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There is no sex described (if that is important to you).
The book is 360 pages long, spread over 29 chapters and told from Robin's point of view.
Final thoughts:
I honestly, so freaking love these books! They have become my go-to when I need a good book, filled with action and that will entertain me and leave me with a big grin on my face. I cannot recommend this series enough... seriously, go read it! ;)
For me... The Alchemist and an Amaretto is next in line (yay)

Une écoute convaincante, une narratrice qui donne vie à l'ensemble des personnages et qui réussit à faire passer - je trouve - les nuances des relations entres les principaux protagonistes
