Demon Magic and a Martini

4.5 stars — You know it’s weird. I don’t read books in this genre, so maybe I’m just finding that this is a genre I would enjoy, but I’ve been LOVING this series. And it genuinely always makes me happier from listening to it. Part of it is that I love this narrator. She conveys just the perfect balance of snark and emotion. I FEEL so much listening to these, and I laugh so hard, and I get anxious in the suspense bits…it’s just kinda awesome. I think another part, for this series in particular, is that each book truly does bring its own set of challenges. I honestly don’t know where these story ideas come from, but they are entertaining as *beep*. And while I don’t see LEAPS of growth from our characters, I do see some growth in each book. And I LOVE that. It’s steady and believable. And not just on an individual basis, but the relationships between the characters are steadily growing. With a few setbacks here and there, but again — enough to satisfy. And the thing is? I love these characters. I love these 4 BFFs. I love the guild. I’m 100% invested. And man, they keep introducing other intriguing characters!! I can’t wait to see what’s going on with Robin and her demon. And I can’t wait to continue with this series and figure out how our BFFs are going to navigate an uncertain future.
