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!).grace_b_3's review against another edition

The Gargoyle's Captive is the third book in the "A Deal With a Demon" series by Katee Robert. I liked this a little better than the second book, The Kraken's Sacrifice, but I didn't like this as much as the first book, The Dragon's Bride.
There's too much trauma and drama in this erotica for me.At one point the main female love interest, Grace, sets the Gargoyle on fire, and then she yells at him saying that he shouldn't pull such dangerous stunts. It was bizarre. Then there's the whole bit where we all find out that Grace's mother was the one that killed the Gargoyle's family that he's still mourning. Just too much drama and not enough sex.
The spice was okay, I'm giving this 3 chilies out out 5 chilies š¶ļøš¶ļøš¶ļø worth of spice.
Overall, this was okay. It wasn't great and it's not something I'd read again, but it was alright. I'm giving it three stars.

I really loved the first books of this series and was looking forward to reading this one, and it did not disappoint - read in one go. This is a really enjoyable, spicy monster romance, in the usual great to read style of Katee Robert. The story mirrors the others: Grace makes a deal with Azazel, she is picked by the leader of one of the demon territories, there is some initial problems and then they make up.
The story here has a little bit of a darker turn, though it was relatively obvious that it was coming.
Definitely recommended if you like Katee Robert, spicy romance, monster romance, or just a fun time reading.

This couldāve potentially been a five star read if I wasnāt so deeply uncomfortable over Bramās loincloth. And if there was more Ramanu. Still a fun time though.
Current ranking of the series:
Current ranking of the series:
- The Demonās Bargain (Team Ramanu forever)
- The Krakenās Sacrifice/The Gargoyleās Captive (Kraken had better characters but Gargoyle had better smut)
- The Dragonās Bride (Iāve 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 theyāre never acted upon. There are mentions of multiple deaths, of parents and younger siblings. Thereās 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 itās not terrible.ehmannky's review against another edition

Honestly this is the best of this series since The Dragonās Bride. I liked the charactersā development, though the final chapter felt very abrupt and I would have liked an epilogue. Probably the best sex scenes of the series though.

The Gargoyle's Captive is a thrilling and seductive paranormal romance that kept me on the edge of my seat. The intricate world building and passionate romance between the captivating gargoyle and his human captive make for an irresistible and addictive read.
