A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sarah Hawley, you beautiful human you.

I am loving this series, and I really don't want it to end. I want this series to keep going because of how good it is, and also how fun it was. I was scared of the amnesia trope, but when she did it for Astaroth of the Nine and how it worked perfectly with the story, I loved it to bits. I really didn't like Astaroth in the beginning of the series. Still, with the second book all on him and how he travels with Calladia Cunnington to figure out how to get his memories back, it was SUCH a fun time that I want to read some more before the series ends.

This book touches on subjects like abuse-mental abuse, thanks to Calladia's ex and her mother, telling her that she's not good enough, she needs to tone herself down, and things like that. It did urk my nerves when her mother brought up all of the things that were wrong with Calladia and not love who she is as a person, and I'm glad that in the end, Calladia got her lick back and isn't gonna be around her mother ever again.

Astaroth of the Nine changed my perception of him throughout the book.

He shocked me so many times--from learning that he was a half-demon, his mother is Lilith...who writes War of the Roses tentacle AO3 Fanfiction--something I wasn't really for or to learn about--but I found that I liked that about her--and that he needed to find a life witch to help him get his memories back. So teaming up with the witch that hated him so much, Calladia, he goes on a road trip to find the witch that can restore his memories, and also find a way to stop a demon named Moloch, who is currently hellbent on killing him.

Throughout the road trip, from fighting werewolves to falling in love and sleeping in a tent, Astaroth had slowly shocked me and Calladia to the point that they fell in love. The ending was really fun, and for secrets to come out when Astaroth got his memories back and realised that he didn't want to go back to the Demon Council, to represent the demon hybrids and be their speaker in the council. Instead, he wants to be with his warrior queen, whom he had fallen in love with.

...Though there were some things I really didn't need to know about, like him and Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia...didn't need to know that part....really didn't....

But I really do love this book series so much and I cannot wait to read the next one.
