This read like a terrible summary of a book I would have loved to read.
God, I SO wanted to love this. The premise was so exciting and fun and, like ... a black, curvy, female protagonist of a fantasy book?? Since when does THAT happen?!
I just ... the writing wasn't great. Being fully honest, it was bordering on bad. The whole thing had an air of 2012's 'Oh my GOD I'm soooo RANDOM' which made me cringe, and the author seems to have a blatant disregard for commas and their brilliant uses.
I very quickly fell in love with Fallow, which was unfortunate, as when it got to the NSFW scenes we learned that demons don't really have a word for 'consent' - which was played off as hot, but just made me feel kinda weird.
That all being said, it was funny, and oftentimes charming, and not an unenjoyable book. I'm definitely disappointed because, even without all the hype, I wouldn't have been happy with this book - but as it stands, my quest to find a fun, hot, hilarious and diverse fantasy book continues.

I’ve never wanted to travel to a fictional world so desperately! This is the journey and inevitable love story of Cinnamon and Fallon. After a drunken evening and bizarre encounter, Cinnamon finds herself on a quest to join Fallon in felling the witch who has enslaved the demons of the realm. With all the intrigue of a high fantasy quest, we’re also gifted with tons of humor and spice. This was such a cozy read and fun read!

Reading this book made for a fun afternoon. The writing style feels so casual, with funny inner dialogue from the protagonist. This book does remind me of lighthearted fanfiction. The plot moves along fast, with many of the main struggles happening without much resistance, and what ultimately kept me reading were the characters and their interactions.
It’s a funny romance book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I liked it.

kink warnings include: spanking, light bondage, praise kink, dirty talk, asphyxiation, (seemingly) unprotected sex, and d/s undertones

Picked this book up at a BOTM for the Mocks & Cocks book club on Discord and was not disappointed. It was a perfect vacation read; short, fun, adventurous, and steamy as all get out. I very much related to Cinnamon, her love of food, her despair at finding out she's a Protagonist/Hero, and falling for the demon she rescues. Same, girl! The modern language and some of the names threw me at first, but once the world was established, it was a pretty minor detail that I didn't get hung up on. I can't wait for the next book with Felix!!
