Audiobook narrated by Helen Laser.
A cute and fluffy paranormal romance. Mariel is hopeless at magic and when one of her spells goes wrong she accidentally summons Ozroth the Ruthless. Until Mariel agrees to trade her soul, Ozroth has to stay near her, which makes family dinner, local politics and problems on the demon plane very interesting.
- This is not a complicated and detailed story and it does not try to be. It excels and being enjoyable, mostly fluffy (though there are some rather spicy sections) and had a really cute and cosy feel to it. An easy listening book.
- Both Mariel and Oz were such fun characters. I empathised a lot with Mariel and her struggles with familial and societal pressure. Oz was a mardy and grumpy character with a soft side and the dynamic between the two was so fun.
- The setting and the magic were what I would describe as witchy cosy. A modern world setting with a magical twist and Hawley made it work so well. I was so happy to discover there will be more books set in this town.
If you want a romance that isn't mentally taxing that you can just sink into and enjoy, I recommend giving this book a go.
