I’m so in love with this quirky, hilarious series! A Beginner’s Guide to Demonic Possessions is Shannon Mae’s latest installment in the Demonic Disasters and Afterlife Adventures series that is filled with all sorts of fun paranormal adventures and romantic entanglements. Here, we find the latest soulmate pairing of human Trent, and Paz, the demon who ends up possessing him after a mistaken drunken summoning. I love that Shannon Mae managed to write a love story where two hilariously different characters are living in the same body, and somehow they manage to form such a deep bond that they end up falling in love. It’s a clever concept that could easily go off the rails in the hands of a lesser writer, but it’s handled so brilliantly and deftly by Shannon Mae, with so much nuance in the humor and romance, that nothing ever feels forced. 
All the books in the series are fun, quick reads that bring both joy and romance, and I highly recommend every single one!
