I really enjoyed reading the first three volumes of the series so it was nice to get a backstory on Erica Slaughter.

I’ve had my eyes on this book for quite some time because of the cover. It looked interesting and I was intrigued on reading it. Unfortunately, I’m rating this book 3 stars. Come & Get It does not appeal to my senses. I found it lacking in emotional depth; the stories didn’t move me, and the characters failed to capture my interest. I skimmed a lot within these pages. The narrative fell short of creating a meaningful connection, making it a less enjoyable read for me.

Thank you so much NetGalley, Kimberly Lemming, and Orbit Books for providing me with an ARC of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon. 

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon follows Cinnamon who casually runs into a demon while on her way home after a drunken night. Right after, the demon goes savage and attempts to attack Cinnamon but, she saves herself by slapping him with a branch of cinnamon spice. The following day, after the demon comes to his senses, we figure out his name is Fallon and the goddess the humans worship, Myva, is evil and is keeping the demons captive. Fallon and Cinnamon are thus set on a quest to stop Myva and free more demons that are still under her spell.

The first thing that I want to do is to give Kimberly Lemming her flowers. This is an amazing book. I DEVOURED this in one sitting. Ms. Lemming, you are a lyrical GODDESS. I smiled, I laughed, I blushed, I squealed. This book flowed perfectly. The pacing of this book was spot on. Not only did I enjoy the world building and the main characters, I absolutely enjoyed the side characters. Brie, Felix, Usha and Ambrose are now my best friends. They all added so much to the story. This book was so amazing. There are no faults to this book in my mind. The only thing that I can say is that I wished the book was longer because I didn't want to leave Fallon and Cinnamon. They are so perfect for each other. That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon was the cutest romance that I've read a while. This book deserves, 5 stars. I've already downloaded, That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf. I squealed when I discovered that we're now following Brie! Hopefully Fallon and Cinnamon are going to be in the story as well.
