I started out not really enjoying this, certain I would give it like a 2.5 or something. But my enjoyment started when Cinnamon and Fallon started getting along, and went up from there

Very campy and corny with fun characters and good spicy content. Even had some found family in there too

Honestly, this was the most fun I’ve had reading in a while! It’s funny and witty and spicy and I had such a good time. 
If you are looking for some rom-com escapism, look no further.

I don’t usually like romance books, but if you’re a black fantasy reader i suggest you pick this book up. I literally couldn’t put it down. Cinnamon as a character is so relatable to me as a black reader and I felt so engaged while reading this book. It did move fast but that was expected given the plot & genre. A very fun read, hilarious & if you’re a TTRPG or D&D friend, you’ll find extra fun it.

Super silly and spicy, with dragons! Plus, a badass heroine with a wicked...huh, I don't remember how I was going to finish that sentence. Anyway, the heroine is badass and even beats up an alligator with her fist, which is hilarious (and a little sad, but hey, needs must in the wilderness).

I mean, you know what you're getting into when you look at that title and cover. I wanted a fun spicy fantasy and that's exactly what I got. I had a great time the entire time, and I'm happy to read more from this series. This is not high brow stuff, I found some of the writing to be clunky and a lot of cliches are used. Part of me itched to do some editing to smooth things out, but I tried to focus on just enjoying the ride. This will also be a bit of a time capsule due to the very contemporary slang used. If you are craving the feeling of reading smutty fanfic at 2am on tumblr, this will hit the spot.

A quick, fantasy adventure. Cutesy, with good plot and spice.  I enjoyed the characters. Will read the rest of the series.

Overall, I found this book fun, silly and sexy.

Aside from the smutty parts, this book reads sort of like a D&D campaign gone awry, and I definitely found myself laughing in several places.  

I did find myself rolling my eyes when Fallon was declaring his undying love and desire to marry Cinnamon after a whopping three days, and even though this is somewhat lamp-shaded and "explained", it was still a bit... meh.

Also, I loved Fallon, overall, I really did - but he was definitely a bit overpowered for the story.  And a touch too willy-nilly about wholesale slaughter for my tastes... 

But while I generally really enjoyed this story, and ate it right up, I did want to mention two things that were a little... troublesome?  

Cinnamon is clearly attracted to Fallon from the outset, but has some moral qualms about sleeping with a demon, especially a demon who has declared said "desire to marry" when she was still feeling unsure about what she wants and what she thinks of him... 

But there's one part where Fallon, despite Cinnamon saying no, starts to tie her up and says something like "let me take away your need to say no" or something, and something about "I'll be your villain", and while he does ultimately get consent before it gets too far, the beginning of this interlude is a little too squicky for me, and I didn't love this part.

The other part was when Fallon burned down an entire town.  Yes, the town participated in slavery and yes, I'm sure there were a lot of bad people... but I'm sure there were also, like, children and pets and, dare I say, people who weren't aware that the demons were conscious beings and not just "animals" (because no one had any qualms about it if they were animals)... 

And it's not Fallon burning the city down I have an issue with, per se, aside from the above issue of 'not slavers' being caught up in it, but my other issue is that Cinnamon, who is the one often stopping Fallon from randomly killing people, is like, well, they weren't nice people, so I guess it's ok...

Like, she has a second of a moral qualm, but then just rationalizes it aside, never considering, like, <i>children</i>.


So, yes, it's not perfect... 

But, aside from those issues, I did overall found it a downright enjoyable romp, in more than one way...
