A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon: ‘Whimsically sexy, charmingly romantic, and magically hilarious.’ Ali Hazelwood

Product Information

That enemies to lovers - force proximity, fake relationship tropes blended in environmental messages perfectly! Mariel Spark is prophesied to be the most powerful witch seen in centuries of the famed Spark family, but to the displeasure of her mother, she prefers baking to brewing potions and gardening to casting hexes.

The book starts with Ozroth the Ruthless having recently acquired one (1) human soul which is a pretty bad deal for any self-respecting demon. His new soul made him hilarious, awkward, and on the verge of experiencing all the emotions at all times. When it came to some of the supporting characters (Mariel's mom, her best friend and her mom as well) the dialogue of those characters distracted me from the parts of the plot that I did enjoy.A rollicking romantic comedy featuring a witch who'd rather be baking than casting spells and the sexy demon she summons by mistake, Hawley's page-turning treat takes the fake dating trope to a whole new level. And I also really love the inner conflict our demon mmc had, about the witch he starts falling for and also how supportive he is of her.

I don't know why 3rd act breakups are thrown into books that already have drama and tension in the plot. Instead it was pleasantly intriguing without being either falsly modest or full of pantomime like OTTP charachters.But, Ozroth only has so much time to make a deal, and I Mariel makes a deal, she will lose her ability to love.

She co-hosted the Wicked Wallflowers Club podcast about romance fiction, which was featured on Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List” as “a compelling reminder of why the oft-dismissed genre is a real force in cultural conversations about consent and desire. I wish I had liked it more, but when a book that unalives a chicken that way in the first few pages to be funny(? The alternate green cover does a better job at making them look like adults as well as accurate to their book descriptions!

Had such an incredibly smart and thought out story line with great attention to detail in relation to current times.
