About this book

Maeve thought she had it bad with the standard relationship woes of dirty socks and unwashed dishes. That was before her boyfriend, Galen, started acting truly bizarre. Between the mysterious black puppies with glowing red eyes guarding the bedroom and the strange, shredded shirts appearing in the laundry, Maeve realizes her domestic life has taken a sharp turn into the supernatural. She is determined to uncover the truth, even if it means arming herself with the entire pantry’s supply of salt.

This hilarious paranormal romance blends the quintessential bubble-gum rom-com vibe with an alluring descent into the hell-realms. It is the perfect pick for readers who crave a story that balances laugh-out-loud banter with high-stakes mystery. As Maeve puts Galen through a series of increasingly frantic tests to determine if he is a vampire, a werewolf, or something far more nefarious, the tension—and the steam—begins to rise.

Whether you are looking for a fast-paced escape or a spicy supernatural romp, this cautionary tale delivers. It is a witty, sexy exploration of modern dating, provided your partner might actually be a literal demon. Dive into this charmingly chaotic adventure and discover exactly how not to date a creature from the underworld.

I had seen these covers and knew I needed to read these cute stories! I used this as a way to exercise on the bike, where I could sit and read and not be disturbed. I enjoyed this cute story with had some nice touches of steam and humor. Can I say how much I loved the puppies?!?! I wanted a reunion with them though at the end after everything was revealed and they were doing their job down in Hell haha. I enjoyed the laughs we got from Maeve and her trials trying to figure out what Galen was...

OMG I so loved this story! The characters, the banter, the story, all of it was amazing!!! Oooh and the sexy parts... Yum! also had me laughing my butt off at the antics Maeve and her boyfriend, Galen, are now living together but she keeps waking up in the middle of the night which is very unusual for her.

This was a fast paced cute read.

This was a fast paced cute read. It has light degradation, switch play. With a bubble gum romantic comedy feel. Our fmc believes her boyfriend is something other worldly. The first half of the book is her discovering all of the weird things he’s doing and convincing herself that he’s just under a lot of stress. Not even gonna lie I mostly kept reading for the demon puppies🥰. The first half of the book felt a bit long winded and repetitive. It took out fmc a long while to figure our what her bf...

What would you do if you thought your boyfriend of over a year was acting funny and thinking he might be hiding something from you? This is what we find out in this book.
