I was not prepared to forgive Astaroth when I picked up this book, but the amazing way with which his redemption was handled made me love it just as much (if not more) than A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon.

I appreciated how strong and unapologetically herself Calladia is allowed to be in this book. There has been a really great trend in romance lately of embracing women's bodies in any and every form they come in and I love to see that this has extended to strong women as well. The way that this book (and the previous) focuses on the characters building the strength they need to stand up for themselves is brilliant because it intertwines so well with the narrative while not coming off as beating the reader over the head with a message of "love yourself". 

Also, the reference to AO3 got me. I definitely laughed, this author knows her audience.  

The way Sarah Hawley writes these books is honestly healing for me and I can't wait for book three!
