About this book

Buffy Martinez spent her life being groomed for a submissive future, only to discover her family had traded her away as a virgin sacrifice to a sinister cult. But when the dark entity she is meant to appease decides to claim her as his bride instead, the power dynamic shifts overnight. Meet Wrath, a demon who isn't interested in consuming her soul, but rather in becoming the ultimate, devoted husband.

This cozy paranormal romance blends 90s final girl energy with a delicious supernatural twist. As the first installment in the Cozy Cult Cuties series, the story leans into the academy trope, placing Buffy in a unique position to learn how to wield her newfound power. With a supportive demon by her side, she is no longer a victim waiting for rescue; she is a woman on a mission to dismantle her oppressors piece by piece.

If you are looking for a paranormal romance that balances high-stakes revenge with an unexpectedly sweet dynamic, this is your next obsession. It is a thrilling, fun, and empowering journey where the only thing more dangerous than a cult is a woman finally allowed to unleash her own wrath.

I really had fun reading this book, I love the idea of the heroine getting to reclaim her life by hunting down the cult that tried to get rid of her. The fact that Wrath is so supportive of her is the cherry on top! )

fun, silly read.

the writing leaves much to be desired but the fight scenes are written surprisingly well, leaving me on the edge of my seat. while it can be a bit trivial at times, I like the story line and the way it progresses.

Oh my Wrath

I went into this not knowing what to expect but it was so unbelievable. If you're looking for a funny, witty, unserious tale about true love with a demon and taking down weird cults with your best buds then this is it.
