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!

Guys I think this might be my first 6 star in years. I am absolutely in love with this book, and the characters, and Kimberly's writing. I loved everything about this book, it was a perfect mix between insta love and slow burn. I love fallon, he might be my new favorite book boyfriend. I need to read the rest of this series immediately. I have not had a story that affected me as much as this one has in a long time. I feel like I will be thinking about this book (especially Fallon) for months

A cute fun, cotton candy (candy floss) type read that has little to no seriousness. I mean there are some serious topics that are underlying the whole story, but it is handled well and thoughtfully and without any kind of malice. I really enjoyed this quick read. It is sickly sweet at times, but ALWAYS ALWAYS fun.

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!

cin knows what she wants

hot demon hellbent on keeping her safe? check
hot demon turning out to be a dragon? double check
dragon mates and their mating practices? triple check

i’m sold. one of my fave spicy novels so far. is it still layered with microlevels of misogyny and violence against women? yeah. at the very least, its easy to ignore or completely miss. either way, it’s still better than other spicy novels i’ve read.

anyway its like 3am so im giving this 4 stars and heading to bed. have fun with this one everyone!

two side characters threaten to sexually assault cin after they leave the swamp. lots of limbs are lost and people are brutally killed by fallon often too. the gaslighting also refers to the goddess, not any of the other characters (except maybe glen) kink warnings include: spanking, light bondage, praise kink, dirty talk, asphyxiation, (seemingly) unprotected sex, and d/s undertones
