Synopsis

Calladia Cunnington curses the day she met Astaroth the demon, but when he shows up memoryless, why does she find him so helpless . . . and sort of hot?

Calladia Cunnington knows she’s rough around the edges, despite being the heir to one of small-town Glimmer Falls’ founding witch families. While her gym obsession is a great outlet for her anxieties and anger, her hot temper still gets the best of her and manifests in bar brawls. When Calladia saves someone from a demon attack one night, though, she’s happy to put her magic and rage to good use . . . until she realizes the man she saved is none other than Astaroth, the ruthless demon who orchestrated a soul bargain on her best friend.

Astaroth is a legendary soul bargainer and one of the nine members of the demon high council—except he can’t remember any of this. Suffering from amnesia after being banished to the mortal plane, Astaroth doesn’t know why a demon named Moloch is after him, nor why the muscular, angry, hot-in-a-terrifying-way witch who saved him hates him so much.

Unable to leave anyone in such a vulnerable state—even the most despicable demon—Calladia grudgingly decides to help him. (Besides, punching an amnesiac would be in poor taste.) The two set out on an uneasy road trip to find the witch who might be able to restore Astaroth’s memory so they can learn how to defeat Moloch. Calladia vows that once Astaroth is cured, she’ll kick his ass, but the more time she spends with the snarky yet utterly charming demon, the more she realizes she likes this new, improved Astaroth . . . and maybe she doesn’t want him to recover his memories, after all.

Goodreads review by Sofia (Inked Odyssey) on March 15, 2024

I’m so happy to say that I loved this book even more than the first, and I really liked the first. Calladia and Astaroth are two of the most chaotic, lovable and charming characters I’ve had the pleasure of reading! It did start a little itty bitty slow but once I got the hang of it I devoured this......more

Goodreads review by Eleanor on October 02, 2024

Who knew I needed a book with an eccentric demon falling in love with a brash and violent witch while on a quest!?! The romance between these two was top-tier, they were absolutely ready to tear each other to pieces and I loved how that played out in their relationship; going completely feral for on......more

Goodreads review by Aurora on July 01, 2024

This was essentially the first book with the same tropes and plot points. I was looking forward more to this one for more angsty hatred/romance with forced proximity in a camping trip. No denying all of that was present in this book, but it just fizzled out. The build up between the hate/love was fi......more

Goodreads review by PlotTrysts on November 28, 2023

So what we've got here is a contemporary PNR romcom, with some big dashes of amnesia and road trip romance. You see, after the events of the first book (A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon), Astaroth (big baddie who's also real hot) was banished from the demon plane. Calladia, really awesome witc......more


Quotes

"Full of witty dialogue and steamy sexual tension, the novel unfolds at a steady pace and draws the reader in. Though this is only her sophomore effort, Hawley is bound to become a staple for readers of paranormal romances. Recommend to fans of Katie MacAlister, Lana Harper, and Molly Harper.”—Library Journal, starred review

"I devoured this story! Each book in this series gets better, too. It's fun and rompy and full of fantastical shenanigans. I love the message—that a heroine who thinks she's 'too much' is perfection in her hero's eyes. The hero Astaroth is book boyfriend crack. He was made for readers like me—he's utterly gone for the heroine the moment he meets her, he's a villain (swoon), and he's willing to burn down the world just to impress her. Hard not to fall in love with a hero (villain?) like that! I also loved that Sarah Hawley's stories feel like she's taken Kresley Cole's expansive worldbuilding and plopped it into a small town. You get the cozy vibes mixed with the fun of the different magical races clashing. Can't wait to read the next one!"—Ruby Dixon, USA Today bestselling author

"A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch is a deliriously sexy romp, featuring my own personal brand of fiction kryptonite: a kick-ass heroine who puts the bad boy in his place, only to have him fall in love with her for it. Hawley has a unique talent for comedic writing, and Astaroth and Calladia are as hilarious together as they are smoking hot. I hope this series never ends!”—Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate is a Vampire

"The tension between Calladia and Astaroth is pulled so tight that it's practically vibrating."—Kirkus Reviews

“Sizzlingly sexy, endlessly imaginative, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is one of the most enjoyable paranormal romances of the year.”—Booklist, starred review
