Valentine's day is coming and Trent is single and feeling grumpy. After another bad date he makes a wish and ends up being possessed by Paz, a demon. Paz has a sunshine personality, is a happy morning person and likes interior decorating.
This novella was a perfect addition to the series (you can read it as a standalone). It was funny, fast paced and Paz and Trent were so so much fun together. The premise was very unique and interesting and I had such a fun time reading Paz and Trent's story to happily ever after. I laughed outloud so many times and I really liked how Paz helped Trent start enjoying life

This was such a fun twist on demon possessions! It was so interesting to see a possession where the posessee was fully on board, and the demon was so caring. I fully agree with Trent, mornings are the worst. But it was so fun to see how his and Paz’s relationship developed all within Trent’s body. And holy s**** those SPICE SCENES. The body sharing? The taking turns? The toy shopping?? I would not have expected that, but it was sooooo good!
And the Cassius cameos!! I can’t wait for his book!

I've read every book in this debut series by Shannon Mae and "A Beginner's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Demons" was my Favorite. I mean just Beel, because he is everything. This book "A Beginner’s Guide to Demonic Possessions" has just become my new favorite by a tiny margin because it is so good. Paz and Trent are adorable together. The way that they are portrayed sharing Trent's body was truly great with showing their personalities and growing attraction. This book didn't seem to have the same humor levels as other books but their was so much heart that the lighter humor was nice. and yes, there was still plenty of steam.

I truly can't wait for the next book.

Although this is the third novella of the Demonic Disasters and Afterlife Adventures series, don't worry if you haven't read the previous ones; this story stands strong on its own.

Our narrative begins with Trent reluctantly navigating a disastrous pre-Valentine's Day hook-up date that quickly turns even more disappointing. However, what begins as a typical night takes a supernatural turn when Trent unwittingly summons Paz, a possession demon.
Rather than reacting with fear, Trent embraces the unusual situation, leading to a series of amusing and unpredictable adventures with his newfound companion. What unfolds is a story filled with humour, unexpected twists, and heartwarming moments as Trent and Paz navigate their unique partnership.

One of the highlights of the story is the dynamic between Trent and Paz, portrayed with depth and nuance by the author. Despite their differences, the characters' evolving relationship is portrayed with authenticity, from initial skepticism to genuine connection.
The side characters are equally well-developed, with familiar faces from previous books seamlessly integrated into the narrative ensuring an enjoyable experience for all readers.

Overall, the novella delivers an entertaining blend of comedy, romance, and supernatural intrigue. And while this novella can be enjoyed independently, diving into the series offers a deeper understanding of the paranormal world and enhances the overall experience. With each instalment, the underlying storyline promises further intrigue and excitement.
I’m looking forward to the next instalment in the series and the unfolding of its overarching narrative.

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my unbiased review.
