graceheartsbooks's review against another edition
3.75
It wasn’t bad. I liked the beginning more than near the end where it started to drag (by end I really mean like chapter 15 or something). Grace was an interesting character and it was refreshing to have a character in this series that already has an idea of how the supernatural world works (it was kinda weird to read a romance with FMC that shares my name though lol).
I really wish we could’ve gotten more about why Grace’s mom disappeared after coming to the demon realm but that didn’t come into play til near the end so that was kind of a let down. And if I’m being honest, I didn’t really feel much chemistry between Bram and Grace (but please take that with a grain of salt as I’m asexual and that tends to skew how I view attraction). I did like that Grace was the dominant one in the relationship (idk much about dom/sub relationships or BDSM and don’t have too much experience with the romance genre to know for sure but it seems to me that a lot of romances—read ‘straight romances’— have men be the dominant one so kudos to that—bare minimum, I’m aware😅). And also having a discussion on how no one should have kids to keep people together or just to have one person be happy.
I know I critiqued Grace not getting the info on her mom til later—I still stand by that—but I was shocked when Bram revealed she was the woman that killed his whole family. In hindsight, it makes sense given the fact we kept bringing up the event but I was quite shocked😅
Anyway, I'm excited to read The Demon’s Bargain (I’ve been reading this series out of order) as Ramanu/Lenora has been teased in several books and it’s the last book I need to read.

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!).knlipke's review against another edition

It has a little too much plot. I think Katee Robert’s strengths are in the sexy, steamy, smutty scenes - I personally really don’t care for her storytelling. It kind of pains me to say it, because I find the universe of these deal-with-a-demon books so fun, but I do come for the smut obviously.
This one earns four stars for having a submissive male love interest. Good boy, Bram.

A rivals-to-lovers story with a heartfelt progression, even if their love started a little toxic, I found myself enjoying this book more than I expected to starting off! While the middle lulled a little, this is a quick read with some generally loveable characters who do truly love each other.

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!
