A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch
by Sarah Hawley
Astaroth is a big shot on the demon council with a secret. He loses his memory when he is banished to Earth by his enemy on the council, Moloch. Moloch follows Astaroth to try and kill him while he's weak but he is saved by Calladia. Calladia hates Astaroth for trying to destroy her friend like two days prior. Moloch finds them at Calladia's house through a tracker (that Astaroth somehow didn't find when he was in the shower doing a deep clean to get all the blood and dirt off himself?) and destroys her home. They must now embark on a quest together to get Astaroth's memories back and defeat Moloch.
This was a decent story and an easy read. It wasn't exactly quick since it is over 400 pages and I don't think it really needed to be that long as it only covers about a week. The romance had some nice moments, but it was also extremely fast for not being a fated mates type book. However, the characters make a lot of personal growth which is appreciated. The book is mostly about the two main characters and their relationship so the big problems that lead to the situation are resolved quickly and without too much fuss.
I didn't read the first book so that could be part of my problem, but it is still easy to dive right in - you get the gist of the first book through character flashbacks and thoughts. The popculture references felt a bit much sometimes and I feel like there were extra scenes or characters that we really didn't need. Maybe the author threw them in because they'll be important later, but it sometimes felt she was adding in scenes just because she thought of them and wanted to use them now.
