📚 This was a delightful cozy fantasy, even though there was some violence (but like, cozily). Things I really appreciated in this book: 

• Portraying complicated family dynamics and a MC who prioritizes her own happiness over toxic relationships.
• The nod towards politics as the book reaches its conclusion, which includes a semi-subtle indictment of the US political system.
• The puns. So many supernatural puns.

🎧 This was dual 3rd person POV with only one female narrator. It was a solid performance. 

🌶️ 3/5 It wasn't light on spice but it wasn't spice forward either. A few explicit scenes (well written) and a fair amount of sexual tension.

✊🏽🏳️‍🌈 The MMC is a centuries old demon so he is of course pan, and this is accepted. Both MCs appear white. There are a couple side characters who are POC (Black and Maori). There is also rhetoric from the antagonist about (CW racist/xenophobic language)

"pure blood" demons and how "hybrids" are "weakening the race,"

while the MCs stand for acceptance and diversity.
