This was a super cute and easy to read paranormal romcom. The spice was pretty great, the banter had me giggling, and I’m so glad Desi and Jace and Cannon all get happy endings. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Had to DNF. Just not the type of story for me. The FMC was I “think” supposed to be endearing with her “what is Google” and “what is DTF” but I found myself just rolling my eyes. Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy.

5/5 stars ⭐️

- Paranormal Romance
- Swoon Worthy Banter
- Dual POV
- Fake Dating
- Alpha-hole
- Anxiety Representation
- 90-day eternal partner
- “Fuck It”
- Praise

You will not want to put this book down! Unleashing Chaos is beautifully written paranormal romance based on the 7 deadly sins. Between the real-world elements and paranormal world elements Crystal and Felicity seamlessly brought together a romance to DIE for and to become a little bit chaotic within our own selves.

This book brings in so many amazing tropes throughout their 90-days that you become obsessed with what’s next. Obviously the “Fuck It” moments have me by the chokehold, but at the end of it all the growth of Desi and her relationships with Jace and Cannon make this book a top contender for my favourite 2024 book.

Join Desi on her adventure to find her eternal partner in 90-days while battling the reality of dating in the real-world! Plus enjoy some nerdy Star Wars references throughout.

May the force be with you little hurricane 😍

Unleashing Chaos is a fun contemporary romance, with fake dating and a splash of fantasy. It’s a great light read, that will have you giggling out loud. The story follows Desi; a chaotic demon, trying to find her eternal partner. But dating in the human world isn’t going exactly to Desi’s plans. Can she find true love before her time runs out? And how much can her grumpy organised roommate take of the storm she unleashes?
Perfect for romance readers looking for a soft introduction to fantasy.

3.5⭐️ This was super cute. A little paranormal romcom that was easy to read and made me giggle so many times.

Desi and Jace have an opposites attract connection with some fake dating thrown in the mix and it’s a fun story to follow as they finally realize they’re perfect for each other.

I really enjoyed the first half of this, the last 40% dragged though, and the timeline felt a little disjointed. The spicy scenes were a little cringe and I’m so sad to say that! There was potential though but I think their dialogue was a little much.

Super cute though all in all and I’d for sure be interested in any spinoffs!

Received this ARC in exchange for review. If you’re looking for a demon/human romance with literally every romance cliche you can think of packed in to it - false starts, love triangle, grumpy/sunshine, virgin, praise, fake dating, one bed, forced proximity, 90 day fiance but make it demons, tension, angsty, spicy (obviously) and an almost uncomfortable amount of consent (def all for consent but it is a main theme here) for sure pick this up. I did like the writing overall, though it was written well for what it was and would be very immersive for someone who’s in to it, but I can admit this just wasn’t really my thing (romance with a very small fantasy/paranormal element). I think it will be wildly popular in the romance and “booktok” circles. I know that this book doesn’t come out for several more months, but there were some editing and format issues.

Thank you NetGalley, the authors and publishers for allowing me to review the book.

4.5/5 stars 3/5 spice
I loved this story it flowed so effortlessly that I was so sad when I realized I had reached the end!
Desi a princess from hell must find an eternal partner and she is determined to find love on her own. She comes to the human realm in hopes of finding love but is on a time crunch from her dad… only 90 days to find the one.
Desi finds a room to rent and sets off to find love. The most human way possible, dating apps. After disastrous dates her two roommates agree to help. The grumpy roommate Jace drives Desi insane and Cannon is a sweet friend ready to help.
This book has so many amazing tropes from fake dating, protective MMC, touch her and die vibes and perfectly written open door spice.
This book also had such a beautiful portrayal of living with anxiety that added such a relatable element to this book.

I loved this book so much!

Desi has 90 days to find an eternal partner so she can rule her circle of Infernis, so she goes to the human realm to find one. She rents a room in Jace Wilder’s house, and she starts to realise that her possible eternal partner might be right under her nose.

This book has amazing mental illness representation, spice (I would give it 3🌶️), banter and so many little details that will make you swoon.

It’s definitely an amazing read, where the writing flow just keeps you hooked and makes you not want to close the book.

The paranormal elements are incredibly well incorporated into the story, and you can fully submerge yourself in it. I can definitely see this book becoming a movie or something, because OMG.

Jace Wilder is definitely in the top of my list of book boyfriends.

Thank you to the authors, the publisher, and NetGalley for this advanced readers' copy in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 2/5 stars

Read for:
- Forced-proximity
- Dual POV
- Mental illness rep
- Paranormal, demon-involved romance

I unfortunately did have to DNF this book after a few chapters. The writing did not flow very well, it was poorly edited, and the EPUB was not formatted well at all. The latter I expect to be something that is changed prior to the official release, but it needed to be said.

The premise is something that will certainly draw future readers in, especially those looking for something steamy and paranormal. It scratches all the right itches. However, I do not jive with the overall execution. For that reason, I am giving it a 2/5 - it's good, but it has some errors, and its format is not right for me.

This may be one of my favorite books that I have read this year! I was so captivated that I did not want to put it down! I related to both Jace and Desi on many levels. I loved the authors' take on the afterlife. I would love to read about Desi's other 6 siblings. This is definitely a book I will be re-reading many, many times.

Absolutely love this book!

The premise is very much 90 day fiancé, but make it paranormal.
Desideria, our demon princess, is a delightful FMC and very much relatable. She has 3 months to find a partner to rule in her circle of hell and she decides to look for one outside her regular world.
Jace (Mr Grump) and Cannon (the golden retriever) are such adorable nerds and their friendship is goals. Their dynamics with Desi when they all move in together is funny as hell. Especially the banter with Jace lol And Cannon is great at giving advice!

As always, I’m not gonna say much about the story, but you can expect lots of:
- Laughs
- Tension (a must in the forced proximity trope)
- Spice! Phenomenal scenes in this department 🫠
- The 7 circles of hell
And so much more!

This is a great book for paranormal romance lovers. The plot is really good and it will have you on the edge of your seat at times. Highly recommend!

PS: Team cups right side up alllll the way.

Thank you Net Galley for the arc.

Oh my Hades!!!
When I tell you I have not been addicted to a book like this in a while... maybe ever! I spent every free moment of my time trying to devour a chapter. This book is sexy, but completely unpredictable which makes it unique and exceptional.

Jace is infuriating and complex at times but it only makes you want his happy ending so much more.

The worlds created in this book are so different but relatable, and I want more of them!

This book had the perfect amount of twists and turns paired with lust. Unleashing Chaos is the perfect title for this book. It makes you fall in love with imperfection in the best way and highlights so many fears many have about love making it relatable in a way some novels are not. I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone who likes spicy, hot, and addicting romance novels... with a twist.

HOLY SNACK CAKES! Looking for a paranormal romance with plenty of banter, spice, and happily ever after? Just pick up this book--you won't put it down.

Unleashing Chaos is the incredibly steamy love child of a paranormal 90-day fiancé but with a sassy demon princess, hot nerds, and handsome roommates.

forced proximity ✓
fake dating ✓
anxiety rep ✓
dual POV ✓
grumpy x sunshine ✓
praise ✓
tension!!! ✓
seven deadly sins HELLO ✓

And that's just to name a few of the tropes this book encompasses... the spice is so good y'all, but the tension and buildup: *chef's kiss*

Desi--I relate to her so dang much. And following her dating ups and downs makes me thankful I'm happily married and not in the dating pool haha!

Jace--my sweet broken boy. Oh I just want to wrap him up in a blanket burrito and smother him in hugs.

Cannon--seriously can I have a bestie like you? Maybe I'm just a sucker for the golden retriever types.

ALSO I'M CRYING AT THE DEDICATION ♥

Unleashing Chaos is going to be my favorite book published in 2024--I just know it! Thank you to the authors Crystal & Felicity, the publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
