A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch is the second book in the Glimmer Falls series. Technically, it can be read as a standalone, but I don’t recommend it.
My feelings on this book are complicated. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but I didn’t find this one to be as compelling. Both of our main characters felt a bit bland; the plot was fun, but dragged at times. I think my main issue is that I was unconvinced by the relationship between Astaroth and Calladia. I mean, he literally just tried to kill your best friend yesterday, but sure, forgive him because he bonked his head. Maybe I could’ve gotten behind it if their chemistry was next level, but I barely felt any sparks at all.
I had a good time, most of the time, and it answered some of my questions that I had left over from the first book, but I found myself underwhelmed overall.
I can’t decide whether or not I will be continuing the series.
