My Review
I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.
The Demon and the Fairy is a rework of what was previously the Rosewood Academy series. I didn’t actually read this story in it’s previous form, only book 1 in that series, so this story was new to me. I enjoyed this cute and sweet monster romance academy story with a bit of heat.
This book is as the title suggest about a demon prince and a fairy who fall in love. I liked meeting Lottie and Archie and seeing their instant connection as they meet and them knowing they are mates. I liked the magi-tag date they went on and seeing them grow closer. This one is pretty short and I did feel it could’ve been longer, but I enjoyed this one and could feel their connection. It was just a very fun and cute read and I enjoyed this introduction to the series.
I liked learning a bit about this world with different types of monsters. I liked how Lottie had brown moth wings and antennae where Archie has purple skin and has a tail and horns. I would’ve loved a bit more world building and learning more about the races and the world, but I assume there will be more of that in future books. I also wanted a scene of Lottie flying up to the castle to different floors as it got mentioned that was a possibility, but sadly that wasn’t there. I hope we learn more about the world, the different monster races and the academy in future books.
To summarize: This was a fun and cute read and I enjoyed reading this one. This is a rework of a previously published book, but I didn’t read it back then so this story was new to me. I liked reading about Lottie and Archie and seeing them fall in love, they were sweet together and I liked reading about their dates. I liked learning a bit about demons and fairies, but there wasn’t as much about the world building as I wanted and I hope to learn even more about the races, world and the academy in future books. I look forward to the next book!
