Becoming awkward roommates quickly escalates when Mariel, terrified to confess the inadvertent summoning to her mother, blurts out that she's dating Ozroth.

I also wish Mariel would’ve refrained from telling her friends that she was fake dating Oz because it kinda dampened the effect. A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon is a delightful, cute, steamy story that ends with a magical twist! Sometimes I just need to escape into a light, funny book, and A Witches Guide to Fake Dating A Demon fits the bill perfectly. 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.The experience of reading this book is like being invited on a picnic lunch to the English countryside in summer by the funniest person you know. Honestly the illustration style makes them look more like children than anything because there are definite YA vibes to me.

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. His new soul made him hilarious, awkward, and on the verge of experiencing all the emotions at all times.As for Ozorth, this powerful witch is sweetest, smartest and quirkiest enigma he finds himself fall for! Mariel Spark is supposed to be the most powerful witch in her family for centuries but she just can’t do anything to please her mother to save her life. However, there were deeper threads woven into the novel that gave it insight into relationships, family dynamics, power, competitiveness, honor, manipulations, prestige, friendship, romance, belittling, and bullying. There were just moments where Mariel was pretty rough on Oz, and it felt a bit like kicking a puppy. Because everytime he did any of them things the words 'toxic masculinity' where thrown all over the place and he was shouted at, shot down, emotionally manipulated.

When not dreaming up whimsical love stories, she can be found reading, dancing, or cuddling her two cats. The only good thing, and the reason I gave 2 stars, was the part of Mariel standing up for herself and believing in her affinity for nature.But his reputation has suffered ever since a bargain went awry - if he can strike a deal with Mariel, he will earn back his deadly reputation. I think her mother was supposed to be comedic, but instead she was uncomfortably weird and annoying. She twisted it so suddenly that I was left wondering why she felt it important to make it that he wasn't allowed a voice or an opinion or to stand up for the woman he was falling in love with. With plenty of laughs mixed with the witchy magic and demon determination the pages flew right by with the story. With a little foray into toxic families, capitalist city councils, and supportive friendships, the book is a delight.
