Ozroth can’t leave Mariel until the soul bargain is completed and Mariel plans on putting up a fight. Hawley's Mariel and Oz are both such delightful and charming characters, both separately and together, and her writing is infused with such effortless humor. A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon is a delightful, cute, steamy story that ends with a magical twist!

A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley is a delightful, paranormal romance that is light and fun. Some of the best scenes of the book are them opening up to each other, learning to care for the other, and sometimes surprising each other. But all these witch stories, that seem to have a bit of a rom-com-ish feel to them are making me want to read them! Having said that, I loved the characters and the vibe and so would recommend it to anyone who likes cozy magic reads!You want there to be a push and a pull, you want to be teased with them possibly having a chance of liking each other and then taking that away. The alternate green cover does a better job at making them look like adults as well as accurate to their book descriptions! I was reminded of How to Keep a Husband for 10 Days by Jessica Hatch which is also a book I was displeased with.

These two lovely characters, with major insecurities, are then at odds because Oz can't leave til he completes a deal with Mariel for her soul and she's unwilling to bargain. There are also some bumpy times on their path to their HEA, but they do fall in love and they do get steamy. My eyes glazed a bit at the end and even now when I know what happened, my eyes still roll a bit by what Mariel was forced to do. Oz was always the one to take the blame and apologize (although there were times he was definitely in the wrong).While Mariel Spark was prophesied to be the most powerful witch in centuries, she hasn’t lived up to that potential. I'm really not trying to slate this book but it's hard not to talk about it with some bitterness because it was disappointing. But Ozroth has a limited amount of time to strike the deal, and if Mariel gives up her soul, she’ll lose all her emotions—including love—which will only spell disaster for them both. Soo I think that this is the author's first book so it was a great effort but you could also kinda see it , at some point thought out 60%-80% the book kinda dragged.

was fine at first, but that coupled with her constant interactions with her mother left me beyond exhausted and unwilling to continue reading this book. I enjoyed the various voices that she used for the characters and thought that she added just the right amount of emotion to her reading. She was always insulting and demeaning Oz, even though I didn't see anything that he did that would warrant this kind of behavior from her.A heartwarming , cozy and warm read filled with the most gorgeous characters and a intriguing paranormal background!

This is our first foray into the "witchy romcom" genre, and we think we made a very good choice with our intro, because this was hilarious, funny, and sexy.

But, when he’s summoned to Mariel, he’s in for a struggle because Mariel has no intention of making a deal with Ozroth. Mariel Spark knows not to trust a demon, especially one that wants her soul, but what’s a witch to do when he won’t leave her side—and she kind of doesn’t want him to? I felt so much sympathy for Mariel (h) that her family was powerful and therefore so much was expected from her, but she struggled hard with her magic. So throwing in an additional arc of their breakup (which could have - and was eventually - solved with the simplest of conversations) was so unnecessary.
