When Erin thoughtlessly lays a curse on Mark, her cheating ex-husband, she doesn’t expect a well-dressed Great Earl of Hell to show up in her kitchen to fulfill the curse (and make damn good coffee while he’s at it).
Andromalius specializes in wickedness and revenge. He’s ready, willing, and able to rain down hell on Erin’s ex—but when Mark announces a hasty new marriage, Erin needs more than just revenge.
She needs a date to the wedding.
Fans of Good Omens, Lucifer, and The Good Place will love this wickedly funny paranormal romantic comedy!

Review
At last, a rom-com that is actually funny! I have a friend who is often (rightly) upset at books billed as rom-coms with a mere smattering of humour. Happily, this is not one of those. This is an irreverent laugh-out-loud light read about a woman who accidentally summons a demon.
Erin's awful ex-husband wants her to stop going to the church he still attends with his new partner - which, if there was any justice, HE would be politely asked to move on from. Fed up beyond belief, Erin curses him and ends up with a demon in her kitchen. Andromalius (Andy for short) is witty, handsome, and very bored after millenia of doing pretty much nothing. A spot of light revenge seems like just the thing.
I definitely enjoyed reading this book and seeing Erin get back on her feet. There was a ton of banter and some nice female friendship. I do however feel it wrapped up very quickly once feelings were realised which came off as almost abrupt. While I appreciate the lack of angst, there were a few problems that were mentioned, glossed over, and quickly forgotten in favour of a happy ending, things that might be a teeny bit important to that ending, like 'gender', and 'immortality'.
Yeah.
There was a fun subplot between two of the supporting characters that is probably leading to another book. I'm keen to read it, but would like that one to be a bit longer and answer a few of those questions that were left hanging, instead of rushing to the end.
Four stars
