"That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon" is the whimsical introduction to the Mead Mishaps series by Kimberly Lemming. The book follows a spice-farming village dweller, Cinnamon, whose life takes an unexpected turn after a tipsy encounter with a demon, sending her on an adventure that makes her question the world she has known. 

Searching for something light, cozy, and perhaps a tad spicy to read after finishing a horror short story collection, this book not only met but exceeded my expectations. The protagonist, Cinnamon, or Cin, is a delightful mix of wit and charm, and her banter with Fallon, the rogue demon isn't just good; it's the kind that had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions. The spice level, both in terms of humor and sizzling moments, is perfectly balanced, earning it a solid 4 on the literary spice scale. (Be aware of trigger warnings!) 

Lemming weaves a compelling plot with well-developed characters. At its core, this is a fantasy adventure with a wonderfully sarcastic heroine and loveable side characters on an engaging quest that kept me hooked and definitely wanting more. Can't wait to dig into the rest of the series whenever I am in the mood for a lighthearted, spicy, and entertaining read.

Really cute and funny, poking fun at the fantasy romance genre without being petty or disrespectful about it.

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!
