Funny, sweet, and spicy, all the makings of a cozy fall read and more! I really enjoyed Brie and Felix’s romance and the background plot of the story was excellent too! My new favorite character is Alexis whose voice I imagine to be like the female VA for Helldivers 2. There’s so much chaos packed in this book that it feels fitting 😂

One again, Lemming blows me away with a riot of a story! Brie is just living her light, but one annoying man's advances end up with Brie throwing a drink and it hitting someone else. Turns out that someone is a werewolf and turns out that drink is a love potion. Whoops! While our werewolf, Felix, is certain that Brie's his fated mate, despite Brie's protests. Fortunately, the love potion should wear off in two weeks, but can Brie hold out that long? What will happen to this couple once the potion wears off? 

This one is told in dual pov which I think is a great touch since we can see Brie's struggles and issues but also the werewolf Felix's mind. With him, we can see into his views on romance and why he's certain Brie is his mate but he also acknowledges the potion's affect on him. Seeing how both of them see this situation adds some wonderful tension. 

It's also great to see how the world is changing after the events in the first novel, with demons now free from the evil witch's curse. It adds a lot of charm and comedy as we see the two species try to get along, though not without a few struggles here and there, some more serious than others. Makes me curious how this side of the worldbuidling will progress in the series!

This is a beautiful mix of romance, hilarity, and suspense. I absolutely adore this series and will definitely be reading the next one soon enough! 

Romance: 3/5 
Quest: 4/5
Spicy scale: 5/5
 
If you liked the first book, you'll like this one too. I'm a bit less enamored with Brie and Felix then I am with Cin and Fallon, but they're still a great couple to follow for 150+ pages. 

I love it when heroines are badasses in their own way, and that's absolutely Brie. How her love of steamy monster romances ends up saving her might be my favorite scene of the whole book. 

 

Felix seemed like a total sweetheart. The fact that he's under the influence of a love potion for the (almost) entirety of the book is the biggest downside of the book I think. Since everything revolved around his need to be near Brie, his love for her, his need for her, it didn't really leave him much room to be a multidimensional character, which I missed.

There's a plot trucking in the background, tying in nicely with the events of the first book (giving us some more information about Myva). But we don't get involved with it till the very end since Brie is only a simple cheese girl and Felix's only goal in this book is to make her his. I hope we'll be adventuring a bit more in the next book.

And the spice is again on point. Both characters clearly have the hots for each other. And with Brie being an avid reader of monster erotica, she's down for a lot of freaky stuff (she even gets to play with tentacles, lucky girl). 

We also get to see everyone from the previous book. Cin is Brie's best friend (and the only one who has experience with a demon), Fallon is the one the most busy with the side plot, and Dante ends up as Felix's go-to fixer. Some of my favorite lines were from Cin and Fallon, I honestly would love to have another book focus on them. 

All in all, it is a good book, and I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait for the next installment. So many possibilities, and all of them seem so good! Do we follow Dante on his quest to find a mate? Or do we go with Usha on a pirate quest with the Lamia I-Forgot-His-Name? Or will it be Holly' and Priscilla's turn? Or maybe we'll get to see some Orc action (it is mentioned how they sometimes take a mate as a group, opening up the door for some why-choose/polyam romance).
