CHAOTICALLY FUNNY

I’m not sure I can put into words the way I felt reading this book.  I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to read the second book!  It is the perfect fluff piece to brighten your day and have a laugh.

Very quickly, our girl Cinnamon has a run-in with a demon trying to kill her.  While trying to convince her family the attack was real, Fallon strolls up to family breakfast to ask for Cinnamon’s help to destroy a false goddess who has been manipulating the demons for years.

Along their journey, our “heroes” team up with an unlikely group of demons (and one badass human!).  Cinnamon and Fallon are chaotic and messy, but it’s worth the wild ride!

The first third of this book was 5 stars but the later half was only a 3 for me. I think this was because the book got to be less of a cozy fantasy subverting tropes as it went along.

Cinnamon seemed to go from "ah! Scary demon!" to "pound me into oblivion" pretty quickly. I also thought her attitude towards dismembering and murdering The Heros was callous and out of character.

I'll probably read the next book in this series, but it won't be at the top of my list.

If you’re looking for a funny, fast-paced book with some serious heat- this is it. The world building and character development are limited. The pace is almost too fast at times, to the detriment of the plot. But characters are diverse, it’s an easy read, and the spicy scenes fully there.

A quick and easy read. Super cute and just all around fun!

The modern attitudes and idioms threw me off at first, but it added a lot of personality to the book. Loved the adventure and the friends that Fallon and Cinn (well, mostly Cinn lol) made along the way! And of course they were very cute.

A hilarious subversion of the classic villain and damsel dynamic. Cinnamon is just a simple spice farmer when she happens across a demon in the woods after a heavy night of drinking, but the adventure that she embarks on isn't exactly what she's heard in the stories (or any of us, for that matter!) The book rockets through to the climactic ending, and a happily ever after of an unexpected kind. A delightful read and definitely an author to watch!

From the inside of the book: "This book contains light BDSM, dub con, violence, mentions of sexual violence (no rape or sexual assault occur. It is mentioned in conversation.), and sexually explicit that could trigger certain audiences."
