5/5! I loved this book. It was exactly what I needed. I loved the main characters and their personalities. The fact that the mmc has anxiety disorder was also a plus. I loved seeing a mmc that isn’t perfect but has flaws just like any regular person. It was easy to follow and just an all around good heartwarming story. The paranormal aspect was great as well as the little plot twist at the end. All in all a great book and would definitely recommend it to friends!

With a cover as gorgeous as this one you just know the words inside have to match. From the moment I started reading this story I feel in love with it!

DNF. This is because it starts as magical realism. I am not a fan of that personally and I couldn't get into it. What I did read was great and is perfect for people who like not a lot of magic in their romances.

Thank you to NetGalley & Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the opportunity to read Unleashing Chaos by Crystal J. Johnson and Felicity Vaughn in exchange for my honest review.

Going into this one I was excited. I love a good demon love story. Unfortunately, Unleashing Chaos just wasn’t for me.

I found the premise of the book interesting. Desi (a demon) has 90 days to meet her eternal partner (human). She ends up moving into Jace’s house, as does Cannon. Jace is grumpy, Desi is happy, and Cannon is comic relief…I guess. Both guys and their next-door neighbor attempt to help Desi navigate the human world - I found it so strange that they didn’t question her lack of human knowledge more often. I found it pretty light-hearted to start but as the spice began to build, I lost the plot.

This one hits a lot of tropes, I mean a lot. If you’re looking for a book that hits love triangle, grump/sunshine, virgin, fake dating, one bed, forced proximity, false starts, demons/humans, angsty, spicy, over-the-top amount of consent, and mental health then this is for you. I think it was too much for me and ultimately a really difficult one to finish.

For me, the writing never seemed to flow. The ebook file I had was poorly edited and formatted, which made it difficult to remain engaged. I assume those issues will be fixed before release but for me, it took away from the book. I was more interested in Jace and Cannon’s stories than I ever was in Desi, I just found her to be one note. I want to say I’d recommend this to others but I’m not sure it’s ready yet and could use a little more fine tuning.

First of all, I just want to say thank you to the authors and Netgalley for a chance to read this ARC. It was a blast, truly. There was such an epic love story and Desi’s life was so intriguing to read about. Her world was one that I couldn’t get enough of reading about! Plus, two dorky MMC’s who were hot and steamy roommates of hers? Yes please, sign me up! Desi’s relationship with her brothers was another thing I loved in this- but that may just be the sibling in me craving such realistic depictions of a sibling relationship in more books.
This book was serious when it needed to be, funny and witty, and spicy in alllllll the right ways. So many aspects of this book I thought were so well done, and truly enjoyed reading such an impressive arc. The lore was fascinating and I can’t wait to read more by these great authors!!!!
This overall was a rating of 3.75, but rounded up to 4 stars :)

I really enjoyed Jace and Desi’s story it was unlike anything I have read lately. A great romantasy but I would have liked to hear more about Desi’s family and the world that she comes from.

Honest review given in exchange for a NetGalley arc

Unleashing Chaos was a very well written peice of work. I fell head first into Desi's story and her being a hopeless romantic. There were a few parts where I felt it was repetitive but overall I really enjoyed the character building.

I loved that there were trials in the relationship between the characters but not a 3rd act breakup that normally upsets me. Without giving away too much I loved the twist towards the end and never even thought that would happen. Books that carry a twist that isn't easily figured out are some of the best reads, which this is.

I'm normally into much spicier peices but the plot really had me engrossed without needing too much else. Not saying this book doesn't have spice because it does and it's good. I liked that it was just enough to really help build the character relationships.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to was this eARC.

I did find the premise of this book to be quite clever, a demon princess in search of an eternal human partner. Desi has 90 days to find her true love. The story opens with Desi desperately needing housing, and she and a character Cannon end up renting rooms from Jace. Both men and a neighbor help her to navigate the dating scene, but Desi’s naivety in the human realm made me chuckle a more than few times. I thought the book started out light hearted and funny, but once the spice hit, it just lost the plot for me.

Unleashing Chaos is a lush and engaging paranormal romance that is as addicting as it is refreshing. With an abundance of fabulous tropes and incredible scenes full of spice and mind blowing chemistry, this is a book that is easy to become obsessed with!

This story made me feel things!

I absolutely love how the authors were not only able to portray anxiety in this book, but to have the character experiencing it being the MMC was so refreshing.

This story follows Desi, a princess of hell and heir to sloth. She’s on the hunt for an eternal partner (husband) to rule by her side for the rest of eternity, and none of her fellow seams fit the bill.
Jace is a graphic designer with a broken heart and more damage in his soul than he think he can repair.

This book did a lot of things right and a few things wrong. I found the story started off very strong in the beginning and lost me through the middle as the story began drag.
The feelings you experience along side Jace are so real, so relatable, and kind of triggering if I’m being honest. This is one of the few books that had me sit down and think “oh maybe I am the problem” and that’s confronting, but not in a bad way by any means.

If your looking for a cute fake dating to situationship to lovers that gender swaps some common tropes I’d recommend giving this one a shot!

Let's take a moment to appreciate this cover and look how gorgeous was it!!

My My!! What an amazing ride! This book has easily climbed to be one of my top favourite fantasy romance and the story has consumed me entirely!!
The banter, slow burn romance, friends to lovers, modern world, and demons are utter perfection. Soo good and incredibly written plot! I'm just in love with the characters and the dynamic was chef kiss. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time!

The ending was satisfying and beautiful and I'd love to see all the princes standalone with their eternal love.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me an opportunity to read!

**Before reading the review I wanted to note that there were some missing fleuron breaks throughout the book and would recommend going through and making sure those get added as some sections caused confusion with a shift in time but no break between the paragraphs. I will also be adding links to socials posts after I make them**

Holy guacamole, yes, yes, YES!

If you love the following, I think you’ll absolutely love this book:

✨ 90 Day Fiance Demon Edition (This is where I was hooked tbh)
✨ Forced proximity
✨ Fake dating
✨ Anxiety rep (handled extremely well for sensitive reading, thank you!)
✨ Dual POV
✨ PRAISE AND ADORATION
✨ SO MUCH MORE

That list can go on and on honestly. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I threw my tablet. The emotions were heavy with this one, but I promise not to spoil anything!

There was so much I adored about this book but I want to start by saying I requested this book because I was hoping for something new. I’ve been reading a ton of rom coms and easy reads lately and I wanted to change it up with something fantasy based since that is pretty far off for me. I have a ton of sensitivities, so fantasies tend to be tough for me to read sometimes but this one was an absolute amazing introduction into the world for me. It felt like one of my favorite romances with a supernatural twist and I appreciated how the authors put these realms together. With the trigger warning at the beginning and the note about utilizing sensitivity reading I definitely felt so comfortable diving into this book and I ATE IT UP. I felt like I really related to Jace and his anxiety because it is exactly how I feel a lot of the time. I hurt so much for him but also rooted for him to learn when to take control.

The relationship between Desi, Jace, and Cannon was well thought out. I almost with this would have been a three person point of view just so I could see what was going on with Cannon (especially after the twist at the end). For awhile he felt like a background third wheel but he also played such an important role for our characters journey’s so I found myself wondering what was going on in his brain. I loved the idea of the reincarnated seven sins and we definitely need a book about each brother now and how they found their eternal partner. 10/10.

THANK YOU Netgalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review. It was just what I needed to find the courage to step out of my typical romcoms and explore a whole new world of books.

"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."

Desi, the demon princess of Sloth, has 90 days to find an eternal partner to rule her circle of hell with her. As luck would have it, she finds herself in a luxurious living situation in Denver with two handsome roommates, Jace and Cannon. Jace is uptight and cold, while Canon is flirtatious and easy going. Finding her perfect match in the human realm begins to feel like an impossible task... until she seriously starts to consider her roommates as possible candidates.

This story is so good. I loved many things about this book, including:
- The romance. It's slow burn, forced proximity/roommates, friends to lovers, fake dating, and second chance. There's lots of banter and tension. Despite the ups and downs, the FMC and MMC strive to maintain a healthy friendship. This book is spicy but it doesn't detract from the plot, which I always prefer.
- Mental health rep. The MMC has anxiety and it's a prominent part of his POV.
- Found family. Both between Desi and her roommates and Jace and Desi's family.
- The setting. I live in Denver so I imagined real places as I read which made me feel even more immersed in the story.
- The scene that follows the quote "Fuck it. I lied."
- Princes of chaos. We get a few glimpses of Desi's brothers and the banter is top tier. I hope this series expands with standalones about them and their eternal partners.

Thank you to the authors, Crystal J Johnson & Felicity Vaughn, and their publisher for this ARC!

I LOVED this book! It honestly blew my expectations.

The story follows Desi, a Demon princess, who has 90 days to find a suitable partner to marry. If she fails to find someone then her father, King of Demons, will choose someone for her. Desi wants to marry for love or at least marry someone of her choosing. She travels to the human realm with high hopes of finding true love.
I loved the dynamic between the characters. They each brought something amazing to the story and it was hard to not like them all instantly. The romance between Jace and Desi was steamy and romantic. Each interaction made their already instant chemistry even more electric.
I was surprised to find out Cannon's true identity. To be honest, I thought Desi was going to end up with him instead because of how close they were to getting married. It was a relief to find out that it was never going to work out for them in any way.
The ending was amazing! I am really glad that Jace and Desi got their happy ending. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a captivating and steamy romance.

I didn’t expect a paranormal fantasy romcom when looking at this cover but that’s what I got, and I’m not mad about it. I really loved this! I didn’t want to put it down. The mutual pining and push and pull had me in a choke hold! The spice was so good. The banter had me laughing out loud. There were a couple scenes in this book that will absolutely live rent free in my head. I also really appreciated the anxiety rep in this book.

The ending felt a bit rushed and I’d have loved a few more pages dedicated to that part, and certain characters. I think that would have made it more impactful.

Thank you to Wattpad Books and NetGalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own.

This book has some dark moments but overall, this book is a cute ball of chaos. There is chemistry, banter, and tension which is so good! Desi is a demon, who is destined to reign over a circle of hell, but first she needs to find love! This book is 90-day fiancé meets paranormal. The books have many tropes, fake dating, forced proximity, friends to lovers all paranormal. This book will keep you thoroughly entertained. I will be reading this book again and recommending to everyone.

I have never read any books by this Author and I was pleasantly surprised! I am giving the book 4 stars. The main female character has to wed within ga short period of time per her father, the king of demons but she wants to marry for love. She visits the human world looking for that true love and let’s just say, it is not easy! It is a romance with some spice and I truly enjoyed this read. I will be checking out other books by this Author as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

JACE MFing WILDER… I’ve never felt the reel that says “what are four words a girl wants to hear? I’m no longer fictional” more than I do right now for this man. A cinnamon roll MMC who’s a nerd and spicy? Sign me up. Take my money right meow!

And Desi…. You beautiful demon you. Never settling for anything but the best ❤️. For protecting the ones you love always. And knowing what to say to stop a spiral. You my queen are a little hurricane, the most beautiful chaos.

Okay but review time… when I tell you I cried during this book, I mean I full on cried like a baby. Happy. Sad. Angry. All the tears you can think of BUT I would do it all over again, a million times over. Crystal and Felicity straight DELIVERED with this masterpiece! This would be the book I wish I could erase from my mind and read for the first time again. These ladies gave the spiciest scenes but also brought the plot that had me questioning things all over but wrapped it up in perfection at the end. I can’t say enough good things about Unleashing Chaos.

Please read notes from authors before diving in ❤️. Mental health matters always 🫶🏼.

A story about a paranormal romance, that gives off 90 day finance vibes? Sign me up! This book was a great slow burn romance, that had a little spice. Desi and Jace, were likeable characters, and I enjoyed their banter. I really liked Jace as a character, I was able to relate to him, as I also have anxiety. Something I really loved was how the 7 sins were a part of the story. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read, and I would recommend it to any fans of paranormal romance.
