There's no sword crossing. The author kept alluding to it, actually feels like queer baiting.
The storyline is good and the series is completed, just not for me.

The book is advertised as dark romance on KU. Which is it is, kind of. It's more psychological horror though. 
Sex scenes are fade to black.

How To Fail At Avoiding An Alpha Demon by Liz E. Cooper

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.
He just ignores all of her boundaries. I get that he saved her life and the forced proximity, but emotionally manipulating her into staying longer than necessary is abusive. She has stated multiple times why she doesn't date Alpha's. And I get that's the whole point of the book, but if he tried to make it easier on her, compromise or even try to make the transition go smoothly for her, I'd be on board.
You can't be a self absorbed douche and force a bond. What's the point of a book boyfriend if he's not going to order my favourite desserts and tea while we're forced to cohabitate? Why couldn't the do it at her place instead of his to be more comfortable for her??
Stalk her, yes fine, but at least help a girl out while you're being a creep.

If you hate all men, but love monster romance then this is the book for you.
He gifted her with the head of her enemy.
He worships her like Gomez loves Morticia.
They have shadow tentacle sex with the blood of their enemies pooling on the floor after Buffy massacred them while Wrath cheered her on.

How to Fall in Love with a Demon by Lola Glass

How the author managed to make a paranormal romance boring is beyond me.
You can't put the fake marriage trope and insta love on both sides in the same book. There has to be some angsst.
For a demon that feeds on sex, there's a ridiculous amount of uninspired masturbation going on. I gave up after the 4th MISSIONARY vibrator scene.
