How To Lose A Demon In 10 Days (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Meet Grace, a witch who is seeking revenge. Enter Caspian, a Crown Prince of Hell. A deal is struck, the terms a bit unusual, and the story begins. A deal with a demon, what could possibly go wrong? So very many things…How about when the demon is summoned he is a bit of pompous ass, who is supremely good looking? “Demon! Hello? Up here.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “They can’t talk.” “I know. That’s part of the appeal.”(DeWylde, Saranna (2012-08-28). How to Lose a Demon in 10 Days (p. 5))Or, a dead grandmother who some say is the Baba Yaga?How about an allergy to peanuts? (You have to read the book, that’s all I’m saying)Oh, and to make things even more interesting, the Big Boss himself, Lucifer, has a teeny tiny interest in what is happening.How To Lose a Demon In 10 Days is a divinely devilish romp. It’s a story that focuses on a time in a woman’s life when said woman makes a deal with a demon to exact revenge on her horrible, slime ball of an ex, hilarity, as well as briefly serious moments, ensues. “…I’d have to be sixty-three kinds of coconut-flavored dumbass to fall for ademon. Your kind has the attention span of a goldfish.”DeWylde, Saranna (2012-08-28). How to Lose a Demon in 10 Days (p. 130))This is the first book of Saranna DeWylde’s that I have ever-cracked open; I was not disappointed, even though romantic wild romps are not usually my go to genre I was enthralled right from the beginning and not able to set it down until I had finished it. If you enjoy hilarious and sexy romantic interactions, as well as some action and drama thrown in to spice things up, I would recommend taking How to Lose a Demon in 10 Days for a ride, you won’t be disappointed. Deliciously Devoured,La Revenant To start off with: this book was nowhere near what I was expecting. I went into it thinking, ok, we're going to have an evil ex, a demon who either turns out to be less evil than advertised or gets redeemed, and a witch with a vengeance fixation.I got a whole lot more mobsters, a whole lot more comedy, and a whole lot more eye-rolling. This wouldn't have worked for me if I'd been in the mood for anything remotely serious or believable (mild spoiler: there is a spell used to make marathon sex sessions with a demon physically possible, since otherwise she'd have been one giant bruise from knees to bellybutton). The sex scenes weren't all that hot, but they were funny, and that makes up for a lot in my mind.
What do You think about How To Lose A Demon In 10 Days (2012)?
Promising premise, the actual writing was just....not for me. Clunky. Amateurish. DNF.
