Book Review: A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley

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

I saw someone on The Nest on OwlCrate read this book and decided to put this on hold...and I'm so glad that I did. This book was so good, so funny, and I wanna read the rest of the series, because how can something like this-a witch and demon-actually work? I thought it couldn't be done or that I had to do it, but when I first read this book and saw how funny it was, I loved every bit of it.

Mariel accidentally summons Ozroth the Ruthless...because she was trying to summon a bag of flour. Mariel tries so hard to get rid of Ozroth, only for him to be her fake boyfriend when her mother comes by to see how her summoning is doing. Since Ozroth is a soul bargainer demon, he tries so hard to get Mariel to sell her soul on some simple things, but she refuses at every turn.

Ozroth is having problems himself. Ozroth made a deal gone wrong, and now he has a soul inside him that is making him do human things, like sleep for eight hours, eat, and actually drink tea. But the more he's around Mariel and sees how good she is, and how her magic just shines, and how her family pretty much treats her like shit, Ozroth decides to help her with her magic and for her to understand it...only to fall in love with her...hard.

When his mentor, Astaroth, calls him, trying to get him to make Mariel take the deal, Orzoth tries...but instead, at the end, fails, and Mariel makes a deal with Astaroth instead without knowing it, losing her soul in the process....and made it go directly to Ozroth instead. As soon as Ozroth got the spell, that's when it clicked for him, and he returned her soul back, and then everything is well...

Or it?

Thanks to Mariel's bestie, she kicked Astaroth's ass back to the demon world....or did she?

Now I need to read book two to know what happened to him and how he'll survive.

This book was right up my alley, and I enjoyed every bit of it. It made me laugh, and I gasped at some parts. I now want to reread this series every single spooky season because of how good it is.
