That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon

It took 7 months but I finally finished this dang book! It's not a long book, but I had a rough start with it and I thought about DNF-ing. I'm glad I decided to continue though! 3.5/ 5 ⭐️

The book is very enjoyable but I had to give it a 1.5 star deduction for a couple reasons. 1) The first maybe 5 chapters of the book are written like mediocre fan fiction in my opinion. The dialogue is a bit cringy. All the characters speak in the same voice. I found it hard to get into the story with all the modern day humor that's peppered in by our main character Cinnamon. However, once the demon Fallon is introduced and their epic quest begins it gets MUCH better.

2) The humor. So, I did chuckle at some of the writing but other times it got to be a little bit cringe and very modern for a fantasy story about a girl and demon hunting a false God. For example, “Intruders will catch these flames” as a warning sign. “Pillage and chill” as the name of a brothel. And the puns kept on coming. Most of this type of humor comes from Cinnamon, but there is a bit of an ensemble cast so they balance out her humor.

Overall, once I got past chapter 7 I started to enjoy myself and the book became an easy read. Fallon and Cinnamon are a great couple. Very cute together. I love them. There are some pretty steamy romance scenes in this book and mention of a couple kinks. So, be aware if that kind of thing makes you uncomfortable. The pacing of the plot is good and I think the action sequences are well done. I would recommend this book if you want a cozy- fantasy romance read. The stakes aren't too high and it's a breeze to read.
