Taming Demons for Beginners by Annette Marie
3.0

Demons aren't really my thing. And that's either the biggest or the second-biggest factor in my review of this book. The bigger one is that I came here because I have become a fan of Annette Marie's The Guild Codex: Spellbound series, which started with [b:Three Mages and a Margarita|39676313|Three Mages and a Margarita (The Guild Codex Spellbound, #1)|Annette Marie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1533628669l/39676313._SY75_.jpg|61271822]. In reading those books, I've become a big fan of the Crow & Hammer guild. And my biggest complaint about this book is that it doesn't have enough Crow & Hammer in it.

Given how the book ends,
Spoiler I am willing to give the second book a try, in hopes that there will be more interaction with the C&H guild and its members

The characters seem real and interesting enough. Our main character's backstory doesn't connect to me as well as the main character's in the Spellbound series, but I found Tori's backstory so easy to connect to in some ways that it's a difficult bar to reach.

If reading stories about demons is right up your alley, definitely read this book… for me (who isn't normally into that type of story), I enjoyed it, but not as much as I had expected.
