I am so glad to have gotten an ARC for this book. I was originally attracted to the mixture of dark fantasy and RomCom vibes the description gave me, and it did not disappoint. The main female protagonist being a bit naive for a demon princess trying to navigate the human dating scene was RomCom gold. Her being forced to live with two hunky roommates that are polar opposites of each other gave the storyline extra LifeTime Channel/MTV-ish appeal lol. I thought the way the authors gradually revealed more and more about Desi's world lore was very creative and flowed well with the story progression too. Add in the broody love interest's dual POV, and I was sold with the plot. A great pick to start off your summer reading list.

This book was a really enjoyable read. The cover was slightly deceiving for me. I went into this thinking it was going to be all fantasy, and while it is a fantasy book it reads more like a rom-com for me. That being said, I did enjoy it. The characters were done very well, and the banter was fantastic. Desi and Jace had amazing chemistry, I just wish that we would have gotten more of them together a little sooner in the book. My heart absolutely broke for the struggles that Jace had with his self-worth. I loved how understanding Desi was with him, and the patience she had when navigating their relationship. The ending seemed slightly rushed, but their HEA was great. I definitely recommend this book if you're looking for a light hearted fantasy read.

Unleashing Chaos was an enjoyable read. This fake dating, paranormal romance follows Desideria a Demon Princess, who was given 90 days in the human realm to search for her eternal partner.

We are taken on quite a journey with her, as she at navigates the ups and downs of dating life while living with her roommates Jace, the nerdy graphic designer who's sworn off relationships and Cannon, who is more than willing to help her with her quest.

I loved that the story combined paranormal and mainstream. We got witty banter, wonderful characters, humor, steam and so much more. The romance was a slow burn that was well-written and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship evolved. The plot twist was totally unexpected.
This was an entertaining tale and I would recommend it.

Looking for a sexy fantasy-esque read? Then this one could be for you. It is on the lighter side of fantasy with a good amount of romance, so I feel that I can safely say that this book is a romantasy.
The story is set against the backdrop of modern Denver, Colorado. Desi, a demon from Infernis, is given 90 days in the human realm to find her eternal partner before taking on her role as the queen of the Circle of Sloth. She finds a place to stay with two roommates and embarks on her journey of finding her forever partner through online dating. This does not go as planned, but good thing she has two handsome men as roommates. Cannon is charming and treats Desi with respect, they become very good friends over the course of the story. Jace is another matter. There is an undeniable attraction between Desi and Jace, as much as there is a strong resistance from Jace. He has been hurt pretty badly in the past and his reasons for pulling away are very justified. There is good banter between the two of the them, some fake dating too. And since they are roommates, we are treated to the forced proximity - and it really is a treat to see these two characters come together. Once they finally give in to the attraction, their sexual experiences build up gradually.
I love the description of heaven and hell as peace and chaos, where energies (souls) take occupancy upon death. Instead of good and bad, the energies rest where their energy fits best. Overall the story was interesting and there is a bit of a twist at the end that I had a feeling was coming, but I still rather enjoyed the denouement.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a romantasy with a good amount of tension and a number of fun tropes.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Wattpad Books for an e-arc of this book. The opinions expressed are honest and my own.

Unleashing Chaos by Crystal J. Johnson; Felicity Vaughn is a wonderful paranormal fantasy romance.

Unleashing Chaos is about a demon princess named Desideria who has been given 90 days to find her eternal partner in the human realm. It has intense chemistry, it’s spicy with top-tier banter and it’s full of plot twists that will have your jaw hitting the floor so hard it hurts!

It was unique and the fact that the plot wasn’t overloaded like some fantasy/PNR can be, it was overwhelming like some that I have read in the past and it does make it more enjoyable to read.

I’m not going to dive in any deeper, I truly believe people should go in blind. You won’t be disappointed!

5 STARS!

Desideria, a demon princess, has 90 days to find her eternal partner or face a dire fate chosen by her father. Seeking true love, she ventures into the human realm and endures a series of disastrous dates. This book is a delightful blend of humor, romance, and engaging characters. The romantic tropes, like forced proximity and fake dating, are well-executed. I loved the dual perspectives and mental health representation. The dynamic between Desi, Jace, and Cannon is heartwarming, making this paranormal romance a captivating and entertaining read.

A demon princess with only 90 days to find someone to marry and take back to her world for all eternity living with a nerdy graphic designer with anxiety? What could possibly go wrong? I love opposites attract and in this case, I adored how Jace and Desi complemented each other. I was immediately drawn into their story!

I love paranormal creates and some fantasy in my romances but I also don't want to have to learn too much about the geography of another world or hear about a fictional war. What I do want? Demons who can smell lust that drop in and point out you are horny for your roommate who you say is just a friend. This was the perfect level of paranormal for me.

I did struggle a bit with some of the middle of this book. I felt like we could have lost 50 pages or so but I did like that Jace saw a therapist for his anxiety and the therapist was helpful. Not all anxiety is the result of a trauma but it can happen so I think Jace's story made sense. I liked that Desi supported Jace when he was anxious and didn't judge him.

If you enjoy a fun paranormal story with lots of contemporary tropes check this one out! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one and will definitely be checking out other books by this duo!

Thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad, Ms. Johnson and Ms. Vaughn for the opportunity to read an ARC of this title. An honest review was requested but not required.

I liked the general idea, and I liked that the authors were conscientious about accurate mental health representation. Unfortunately this really wasn't the book for me. Reading it more or less back-to-back with really excellent books unfortunately made it suffer by comparison. For one thing, it should have been at LEAST 1/3 less long. The main characters were a little flat; Jace was reduced at times to his diagnosis and seemed like a caricature of the character he was supposed to be. Desi (as other reviewers noted) was woefully oblivious to human customs and norms when she was supposedly obsessed with all things human. Cannon was there as a sort of fluffer for Jace, repeatedly told how wonderful he was but friend-zoned to the max. The dialogue didn't feel realistic, and the plot didn't progress at all for like 200 pages. I kept picking up other books to read, which is never a good sign.

I see that the book was received very well by other readers so I'm going to conclude that it wasn't my cup of tea, YMMV, and leave it at that. ⭐⭐1/2

Desi is a demon on a mission to find her eternal partner. Having an eternal partner is the one requirement her father has before she can step up and take her position as a Demon Queen. She has 90 days in the human realm to find the love of her eternity, if she fails she will have to go home bind herself to a demon of her father’s choosing. After a few bad dates she enlists her two roommates to help her navigate the dating scene. One roommate is prepared to help her at all costs, while the other is firm on his stance that love is fleeting. Desi needs to work fast to find her partner and take her throne to ensure the stability of the demon realm.

Desi is sweet and understanding. Her kind nature with an occasional burst of chaos is great.

Jace is a character I was unsure if I was going to like however the metal health representation ij the form of anxiety makes him extremely relatable.

Cannon is pure best friend goals - enough said.

Unleashing Chaos is a medium paced paranormal romance filled with sassy characters, hot nerds, witty banter and lots of spice. I found it to be quite enjoyable, especially the dynamic between the characters. I enjoyed the pop culture references and how they were sprinkled in with spin on the paranormal ideology of angels and demons.

This is such a fun read!

Desi is a demon that’s on a mission in the human world when her father (the king of demons) gives her 90 days to find her eternal partner.She gets help from her roommates to guide her through the human world and its dating scene. From figuring out how to use apps to finding out what DTF means. Will she find a partner? Is he right under her nose ??

Desi is so sassy and it was entertaining seeing her go through the dating scene, the good and bad. Enjoyed the banter and especially the spice in this book!!!

Tropes for the book:
-grumpy x sunshine
-forced proximity
-demon/human
-older woman/ younger man
-slow burn/ spicy tension
-roommates to lovers
-fake dating
-dual POV

Definitely recommend if you like a spicy paranormal romance 💜

Desi, a demon princess, is given 90 days to find her eternal partner. She goes to the human world to find him. She meets Jace, who has issues because of a betrayal, and Cannon, who is a golden retriever type, and she moves into the apartment with them.

I really like the story line of this one, but I think it was a bit under developed and rushed at the end. With that being said, the banter and spice in this was really good. I enjoyed the interactions with the characters and like the anxiety rep. Desi’s dating antics were hilarious! If you like PNR romcoms, you will enjoy this!

"Sweet Desideria. You have a filthy mouth, but it's nothing compared to the things I imagine doing to you."

This paranormal slow burn had so many layers that made it unique and a great read! The slow burn between Desi and Jace had me screaming. Their chemistry was so good and I just wanted them to get down to business, but I also appreciate how the pacing reflected Jace's struggles with trust and his self-perception. The mental health representation of anxiety and panic attacks demonstrated by Jace felt authentic and raw. When the spice did happen, it was super hot and worth the wait 🥵 I found myself holding my breath and crying at several parts during this book, it really got me in my feels in the best ways. The ending was a great twist that I didn't see coming! Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to more stories based in this world.

“Desideria is looking for true love... When your father, the king of demons, tells you to find an eternal partner in ninety days, you do it —because the alternative is worse.”

If you’re looking for a spicy fantasy, this is it (not sure how🌶️ because you all rate spice differently). I loveeeed the first half, but around 60% I started to lose interest. Go in with an open mind; there will be moments when you think to yourself “this is not believable.” However, by the end, you will understand why those moments weren’t believable.

Thank you to Wattpad Books and Frayed Pages for a gifted advanced reader copy. All opinions are my own.

I had a really hard getting into and staying with this book. I really like big parts of this book but struggled to connect to Desi. I just struggled throughout the book to fully care about this character. Overall it was interesting just struggled with MC.

I read this one so quickly!! From the cover, it seemed good and I really enjoyed the paranormal romance rom com it ended up being. I loved the banter and the grumpy sunshine trope, even though the sunshine was a literal demon.
Like Jace likes everything in perfect order, no disarray whatsoever, and in walks in a demon princess. Along with another roommate who forms a triangle dynamic but also not really. So if you don’t like the love triangle trope, don’t pass this one up just because of that, it’s not really prevalent. You know you’re supposed to be going for Jace.
I also enjoyed Desi’s lack of knowledge of the human realm. They were some real laugh out loud moments.
Also as I write this I realize I actually met these lovely ladies at a local book convention here in New Orleans! Checking my bookshelf, I bought Edge of the Veil from them. Glad to be supporting them on this book! I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Wattpad and Literally Yours PR for the copy for review!

3.75/5 ⭐️

↓↓
I wanted to like this more than I actually did. I think I went into this with high hopes and was let down significantly. The fantasy aspect was great and not too much of a fantasy overload, if you get what I mean. I just could not connect with the main characters and it was just too long for me.

I was about 50/50 for Desi, for someone who was so excited and loved the human world. She lacked the basic knowledge but she was sassy and confident which I love in a FMC.

Jace was just meh for me. Same as desi, I was 50/50 on him.

Now Cannon, I LOVEEEEEEED Cannon and wish we got more of him. He was so sweet and such an amazing friend.

I wish that the epilogue was better and we got a glimpse into their kids and more on the couple overall.

This book was a 5 stars. The way he doesn’t believe in love until he meets her, I love it. The chemistry and spice between the both of them was chef’s kiss. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

This book was AMAZING.
It felt like I was drowning in it because how amazing and fast I feel in love with the story.


Let me convince you to read it with two things;

Nickname …. “Little hurricane” yes please 🥹🥹
Quote: “She’s a little hurricane, leaving mayhem in her wake. But in the eye of her storm, there is a sweet moment of calm. She is the most beautiful chaos.” How freaking beautiful 😭😭💕
