nightwing 's review for:
My Roommate from Hell
by Cale Dietrich
Thanks to NetGalley & St. Martin's Press for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
I will admit, the beginning was hard to get through. BAD communication skills from both roommates. Once the fake dating started, it evened out and was pretty cute. I like that both characters developed and accepted themselves more as the story progressed.
I would rate it higher but the lack of communication skills infuriated me and I also didn't like how the "quirky" hell stuff kept getting brushed aside. Zarmenus' cat will steal your soul, there are ghouls staring at you in the bathroom, and the room catches on fire. Those things are NOT cozy but very stressful, and I didn't like how it was brushed aside. There's a difference between a funny magical cat that's sassy and mildly annoying versus one that will take your soul straight out of your body. One is cozy and the other is not.
Still, it was a cute romance.
