This was delightful. A lot more shifter-y than I was expecting, but I dug it (turns out a lot of demons have a human form but turn into werewolves! Or dragons! Or manticores! While others have just a general form, like lamia. This hasn’t been the area of fantasy I’ve read much of before, so maybe the human-to-____ is more of a thing than I knew). Anyway. Quite spicy, pun intended. I absolutely love Cinnamon, I want her to narrate my life.

LOVE the false goddess is actually a lich premise! It’s simple but turns everything you think you know on your head, plus it answers so many questions that you would likely have in the back of your head as a resident of this world but would have quashed over time.

Looking forward to reading the others in this series - especially intrigued that one has a protagonist named Cherry??

This one DEFINITELY has dragons!

This was a super fun read. As my second romance book and first ever smut, it was so enjoyable I finished it within a day. It's super cheesy but it had me laughing the entire time. A great experience!

This read like a terrible summary of a book I would have loved to read.

God, I SO wanted to love this. The premise was so exciting and fun and, like ... a black, curvy, female protagonist of a fantasy book?? Since when does THAT happen?!

I just ... the writing wasn't great. Being fully honest, it was bordering on bad. The whole thing had an air of 2012's 'Oh my GOD I'm soooo RANDOM' which made me cringe, and the author seems to have a blatant disregard for commas and their brilliant uses.

I very quickly fell in love with Fallow, which was unfortunate, as when it got to the NSFW scenes we learned that demons don't really have a word for 'consent' - which was played off as hot, but just made me feel kinda weird.

That all being said, it was funny, and oftentimes charming, and not an unenjoyable book. I'm definitely disappointed because, even without all the hype, I wouldn't have been happy with this book - but as it stands, my quest to find a fun, hot, hilarious and diverse fantasy book continues.

I’ve never wanted to travel to a fictional world so desperately! This is the journey and inevitable love story of Cinnamon and Fallon. After a drunken evening and bizarre encounter, Cinnamon finds herself on a quest to join Fallon in felling the witch who has enslaved the demons of the realm. With all the intrigue of a high fantasy quest, we’re also gifted with tons of humor and spice. This was such a cozy read and fun read!

Reading this book made for a fun afternoon. The writing style feels so casual, with funny inner dialogue from the protagonist. This book does remind me of lighthearted fanfiction.  The plot moves along fast, with many of the main struggles happening without much resistance, and what ultimately kept me reading were the characters and their interactions. 

It’s a funny romance book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I liked it.
