Great addition to the Deal With A Demon series. I LOVE Bram and Grace, just wish we got more of them. No epilogue so who knows what happens! This was a quick and easy read, I would say lighthearted like the others in their series, but maybe not with the subject matter. All in all, a hot and spicy good time. Took points off because of some grammar mistakes.

Read the trigger warnings beforehand. Nothing too bad, though; author did not go into too much detail on the serious themes (only the spicy scenes, of course!).jasbeingjas's review against another edition

I really liked Bram but found Grace annoying at times. This isn’t my favorite in the series but was an enjoyable read. At 95% I wondered if Azazel was hiring.

Wow… I did not expect to cry over monster smut, but here we are. While parts of this one were HEAVY, the character development and plot were there. Bram and Grace were likable and didn’t shy away from recognizing themselves and their character flaws. They also had a really good understanding of what it meant when the other was trying to hurt them.
The smut is intense and those content warnings are not a joke, though. I did have to skip a couple things because it got to be A Lot. However, this is one that works even if you’re not reading the smut, which is great and shows a lot of growth from Court of the Vampire Queen.
Solid four stars, won’t be recommending to my mom or anyone I want to look in the eye ever again, though. So, internet, definitely read this if you’re not triggered by anything in the CW.

I love this series. It is so fun and sexy and monsters are everything. It ended in such an interesting open way that I few bereft and wishing I could have more of Bram and Grace! This book definitely had an interesting concept, Grace being a monster hunter, and when I realized the culprit of the traumas I was floored. Can’t wait for the next one!

This could’ve potentially been a five star read if I wasn’t so deeply uncomfortable over Bram’s loincloth. And if there was more Ramanu. Still a fun time though.
Current ranking of the series:
Current ranking of the series:
- The Demon’s Bargain (Team Ramanu forever)
- The Kraken’s Sacrifice/The Gargoyle’s Captive (Kraken had better characters but Gargoyle had better smut)
- The Dragon’s Bride (I’ve kinda forgotten about it ngl)
Representation:
- nonbinary side character that uses they/them

Both protagonists are grieving the loss of various family members and their subsequent position as the only one left. This grief drives one protagonist to suicidal thoughts, though they’re never acted upon. There are mentions of multiple deaths, of parents and younger siblings. There’s also one brief scene with giant spiders, said on-page to be roughly the size of a medium dog. But, as someone with an intense fear of spiders and bugs, I can say it’s not terrible.potalian's review against another edition
