I wanted to like this perhaps more than I actually did. A lot of fun but all of the puns/slight re-imagining of every brand/platform/thing you can think of to be witch/werewolf/pixie etc specific gets a bit old after awhile. (Pixtagram, GhoulTube, Welp, etc etc).

The story centres around a quest-slash-road trip between sworn enemies and secret enemies to lovers witch, Calladia and demon, Astatoth. It involves camping, a tree house, the one bed trope, demon politics, bar brawls, family dramatics, fireballs, memory loss, spandex, complex parent-children relationships, and even a visit to the demon plane.

In a lot of ways, similar to book one. A demon and a Witch could definitely never ever be toflgether because soul bargaining and stoic vs emotions and sworn enemies and... oh wait, this is a romance, never mind,.let's argue about how we're gonna share the bed and somehow end up cuddling. Lol. It was fine. A good palate cleanser after some more tense reads.

I liked the road trip element! Apparently book three is about Ben the introverted werewolf, could be nice!
