That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming

lighthearted fast-paced

2.75

🫚 Fun, imaginative, and lighthearted - That time I got drunk and saved a demon is a humorous read with a refreshing FMC. The cover is absolutely stunning, and the humor throughout the story had me laughing out loud in several places.

🌶️ It does read a little like fan fiction. The story is lively and fast paced, however it sometimes felt a bit two-dimensional and overly idealistic. The language while entertaining, leaned too heavily into modern social media brain rot for my tastes, which felt out of place in the fantasy setting. Additionally, the dialogue came across as choppy at times, making it harder to fully immerse myself in the world and characters

🌶️ The relationship between Fallon and Cinnamon developed very suddenly and intensely, without much logical buildup. It had a definite 'insta-love' vibe that felt rushed. The pacing of the romance was off—it almost seemed like grabbing two dolls, smooshing them together, and saying, 'Now kiss!'. I found myself wishing for just a little but more depth to plot (but it is a very short book).
