About this book

Helena inherited more than just a dusty heirloom when she received her grandmother's old cookbook; she accidentally inherited a direct line to the underworld. What was supposed to be a simple, impressive dinner party quickly spiraled into a culinary catastrophe of burnt offerings and misplaced filet mignon. Just when her reputation and her kitchen were on the brink of total collapse, a mysterious, otherworldly guest appeared to save the day.

This charming cozy paranormal romance blends the chaotic stress of hosting with the dark allure of hell-realms. Instead of bringing the typical infernal destruction, the summoned demon proves to be the ultimate sous-chef, turning Helena’s disaster into a night of unexpected professional success and sizzling romantic tension. The magic system is as delightful as the menu, offering a fresh take on supernatural encounters that feels both relatable and delightfully dangerous.

If you are looking for a quick, heartwarming read that balances domestic mishaps with a dash of supernatural spice, this story is the perfect recipe. It delivers a blend of emotional depth and lighthearted fun that will leave you hungry for the next course in the series. Pull up a chair and discover why sometimes, the best help comes from the most unlikely places.

3 Stars – A Dash of Demon, a Pinch of Plot, and a Whole Lotta Cozy

Okay, so picture this: you’re trying to cook dinner, it’s going terribly (burnt offerings to the kitchen gods), and BAM—you accidentally summon a demon. Honestly? Relatable. Cookbooks & Demons starts off with a super fun premise: a woman stumbles into summoning a demon through her grandma’s old cookbook, which, let’s be real, is probably how half of my family recipes came into existence. The vibes are cozy, the setting is charming, and it’s got a delicious little mix of magic and mishaps that...

This is a creative and funny monster romance story. The characters are interesting and unusual. It has only a few typos, and it's otherwise well written. It reads well as a standalone story, but continues through in the next book as well. A good read for fans of Supernatural Romance, Paranormal Romance, Rom-Coms, Monster Romance and Fantasy Fiction stories. ) One person found this helpful
