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

Product Information

While Mariel Spark was prophesied to be the most powerful witch in centuries, she hasn’t lived up to that potential. Honestly the illustration style makes them look more like children than anything because there are definite YA vibes to me.

Our heroine just wants to find a way to live the life she wants when she's thrown into an accidental soul with a demon (who has his own accidental human soul).

When not dreaming up whimsical love stories, she can be found reading, dancing, or cuddling her two cats. I liked Oz more than Mariel, mainly because he attempted to stand up for her once he was subjected to how her family treated her and he was encouraging.

Suddenly, the two are reluctant roommates and at risk of losing not only her soul, but her magic as well, Mariel must resist her resident demon-plane cowboy. Ozroth, a 200 and something year old demon, appears ready to bargain for a soul until he realises that this was all a mistake. Although I appreciate the well-written lore and themes of self-discovery and personal growth, I went through a painful time reading about how the heroine, and her family, sees herself as a disappointment over and over again for not being able to do magic "right" or "powerfully" like whatever the fuck her birth prophecy predicted.Because I was reading this for a book discussion, I didn't quit like I normally would and it did get a little better in the second half.
