This book is a refreshing change from a well trodden archetype. There are tales where true love can tame a demon... but Wicked Flavors is a wickedly spicy exploration of what happens if the demon makes her worse (but also better.) and I delighted in all of it.
Lots of character growth and development from both our protagonists - where demonesque Ambrosious gets a little softer (begrudgingly) and Gwendolyn grows as a person, becomes more herself after shrinking from a world that told her she was always Too Much.
Wicked Flavors is a book that manages to balance greusome and wholesome in a really effective and fun way, making it a satisfying read. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series. Heed the content warnings the authour provides at the beginning of the book. This is not a soft bubble gum story - there is explicit sex and violence throughout.
I requested and received an ARC from the authour.
