A perfect, cosy, witchy adventure that will keep you hooked to the end. I loved this even more than book one and am glad to see the series is set to continue.

A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch had me laughing out loud on almost every page. Funny, fresh and sweetly romantic, this is the perfect comfort read. Lilith, of course, stole every scene she was in and had me cackling - I hope she and her tentacle fanfics get to come back again.

Huge, huge thanks to Orion Fiction (especially Javerya Iqbal, Marketing) and NetGalley for sending me an arc of A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review! I absolutely adored Sarah Hawley’s A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon and was over the moon to receive the offer to read the second book set in the same world of Glimmer Falls!
If you’ve read the first book, you will remember that Astaroth was the guardian of Ozroth, a soul-bargaining demon who fell irretrievably in love with Mariel the nature witch. The consequence of this being that Astaroth failed to collect Mariel’s soul and lost his bet with fellow Demon High Council member Moloch. Moloch demands Astaroth’s banishment from the High Council and from the Demon plane, resulting in Astaroth finding himself dumped in Glimmer Falls with amnesia! If you do recall the first book, Astaroth was Ozroth and Mariel’s nemesis, so any redemption arc needs to be absolutely magical, and Hawley applies the amnesia trope brilliantly.
The other key protagonist in this story is Calladia Cunnington, who we met in Mariel and Ozroth’s story. She is a generalist witch, who packs one hell of a punch, definitely has significant anger issues but, marries these to a shiningly wonderful sense of loyalty to her friends and a complete lack of recognition of her own finer qualities; A lot of which can be attributed to her hateful mother and past history, which you will discover during this absolutely charming and heartfelt endearing romance.
Calladia finds herself ejected from the bar she was celebrating Mariel and Oz’s new relationship, as seen above, not a new experience for her. However, from this point events take a turn with Calladia thrown into the role of Azaroth’s saviour and so begins their quest to discover a cure for his amnesia. From here onwards, the events just flow with a great pace, supported by the banter between the two and a developing relationship actually becomes totally feasible.
Yes, there are some huge bust ups, a villain or two and a few adventures along the way but, there is also depth to the story, some hugely relatable heart-to-heart conversations and massive growth on the part of both protagonists. I absolutely loved this whole book and refused to put it down, so if you are looking for another cosy, fun, heart-warming, funny and downright fantastical (think rugby playing werewolves, shifters and a corgi-shifter – you have been warned, plus Lilith the Mother of All Demons,) this is definitely the book for you, it totally was for me! A fabulous 5 star read that I can guarantee I am pre-ordering and will pick up again!

A good read for a light summer read! It's a second opus to a great first one!
I love theses characters, their chemistry and their banter. It's an Ennemies-to-Lovers trope, and a good one. A solid four stars and a half!

Another super fun paranormal rom com, I think anyone would enjoy these books, they have charm, humour and a touch of fantasy. I love them. The characters are perfect and the story is fun. Love a cute whimsical romance 🥰

I really loved A Witches Guide to Fake Dating a Demon but I have to say Calladia snatched my heart in that book so I was thrilled to learn that A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch would be her story. I am absolutely weak for an unapologetically angry violent heroine and an MMC who thrives on her chaos and violence so Calladia and Astaroth were perfect vibes for me.

There are a million ways for women to fail to fit into the boxes that society creates for us but angry, violent, loud and hench AF is a particularly difficult thing to be as a woman without feeling like you're failing somehow. Add in an abusive ex and an abusive parent and Calladia's ability to take up space and be her unapologetic self is not only joyous but inspirational. I loved that her journey wasn't about having the courage to be herself and crotch punch anyone who didn't like it (because she had that nailed down) but rather about allowing herself to be vulnerable with someone who gloried in all the parts of her she'd always been told were too much.

Astaroth was great fun, I loved his commitment to an aesthetic, and his rakish behaviour. A redemption arc can be hard to pull off without glossing over past atrocities but this one really got there.

Overall a super fun, truly enjoyable read. Oh, and the spice was top tier. Loved it.
