That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming

5.0

I didn't know how badly I needed a fantasy romcom until reading this book.

I cannot put into words how much fun I had reading this story. The characters were charming and loveable, the setting was interesting and the lore was intriguing. My only complain is that it wasn't longer!

Cinnamon, or Cin, is a relatable main character who only wants to eat cheese and have fun. Sadly, she ends up accidentally saving a dragon shifter and in the process uncovers a politico-religious scandal that will forever changer her world. Her siblings being named after spices was a fun little touch to the story. Her dynamic with her family and best friend, Brie, was endearing and made the world feel a lot more alive.

Fallon, the literal love of my life. This demon will forever have my heart. Kimberly Lemming wrote a character that is the perfect "himbo". He's doing his best to understand human customs throughout the book and all his attempts are adorable and/or funny. I love that he's madly in love with Cin and would burn down a whole city for her. He puts his all into breaking the curse and freeing other demons in a very heroic quest for justice.

This was definitely one of my favourite books of the year. I absolutely recommend it to everyone who likes romance and fantasy.
