My Funny Demon Valentine has been on my TBR for so long and I am so thankful to Kensington Publishing for an early copy of this book! 🫶
This book is so funny, spicy, and action packed! There was so much going on and it really kept me intrigued and on my toes! Also, as a girlie who has been kind of obsessed with paranormal romances this year, I love that this is a demon romance that has lots of different moving pieces to make for a book that really makes sure that you don't get bored! 👀 There were even action packed like battle scenes and a plot twist which is SO much fun to have in a romance! I'm pretty intrigued and kinda excited for the next books in this series and hope they are as interesting and good as this one! 🥳

Oh dear, my heart. I was kicking my feet while reading this. Could you imagine no one really noticing you and after 3000 years one woman does. It sounds like it would have felt amazing and then playing music together, their connection growing as their eyes met.....stop, my heart was set to burst.

It started with the sound of music and a connection of eyes. They didn't even make it to the bedroom, i enjoyed this story and loved the characters Eva & Asmodeus.

I’m so happy I got picked to read an early copy of the re-released version of this book. “My Funny Demon Valentine” had me cackling and swooning the entire time.

My first reaction after finishing this was “what a trip”. This book honestly reminded me of some of the cheesier episodes on the TV show Supernatural. Which don’t get me wrong I loved. I can definitely see how some reviewers might not enjoy that and think it was too much. But I had a blast reading this. And can honestly say I’m excited to read the next books in the series. Because I can’t wait to see what hijinks the demon brothers get up to next.

Back to the current book. “My Funny Demon Valentine” is a fast paced delightful read! It has a great balance of spice and plot that’s easy and fun for anyone to follow along with! This is the second book I’ve read by Aurora Ascher and I have to say out of the two I found this to be her better work. And I can’t wait to continue on with the series.

If can’t already tell I highly recommend this book. Especially if your a fan of paranormal romance. I’m so excited for the special edition pre-order to come out later this January. Lastly big thank you to Netgalley and Kensington for providing me an ARC to read and review.

This was one of my HIGHLY anticipated releases of 2025 and it minorly disappointed me. It was EXTREMELY good and everything I wanted until it wasn't. Around the 45% mark it started going downhill fast. The characters felt like the second they got together, the character building just stopped in its tracks and they lost themselves. The romance was pretty good though just the setting, plot, and characters kind of fell off and soured for me.

Demon smut!? Yes please!! This was a 5 star read for me! Aurora did a great job with this book and I thought her writing style was so good especially how detailed she was in scenes in this book.

I was so honored to be approved for My Funny Demon Valentine by Netgalley & Kensingtonbooks. Makes me so excited for book 2!

Eva is a human who plays the Violin at the bar she works at and on one of her sets she spots the most beautiful masculine man ever named Ash. Now, no one can see Ash unless they are not attractive to him and Eva is definitely attracted to this man. Which is odd because due to his curse and they realize she has Sight capabilities.

There are 4 brothers: You have Ash, the prince of hell, Bel, Meph and Raum. All 4 of them are so funny in this book too. I always loved when they would come up together in this book as they are always messing around with each other and making jokes but overall protective of each other.

Ash is also under this curse for the last 4000 years where he can’t see color, sense of smell and can’t feel pain.

Both Ash and Eva love the same kind of music and she plays the violin and he plays the piano one night at the bar and the way they play together is magical and afterwards they couldn’t help keep their hands off each other. The chemistry between them is so strong!

Things start to happen once the Hunter and tracker come into play and the safest place Eva can be is at her moms. This is here the MMC plays the hero in this book.

Secrets start to be revealed between Ash and Eva’s past and you start to wonder if these two will have their happen ending or not. We’ll find out in book 2!

If you love demon Romance, 4 brothers, horns & wings and badass MMC, I would highly recommend this book/series as this is going to be a popular one!

I had so much fun reading this!

Ash is not your typical demon. All he wants is to play jazz, but being evil and cursed kind of puts a damper on that dream. Tired of the rules, Ash and his brothers escape to Earth, hoping for freedom.

They quickly become the most wanted fugitives.

Eva is a violinist who sees through his curse!

This book was such a blast!

The banter between them was done so well.

It’s snappy, funny, and keeps the story moving. The chemistry between Ash and Eva is electric, and I loved how their relationship unfolded.

The way music weaves through the story is so well done.

I’m already excited to dive into the rest of the series to see what happens with the other brothers!

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for this ARC.

Cuando pedí el ARC, no me di cuenta de que el libro se había publicado en 2021. No fue hasta que lo agregué a mi Goodreads que me di cuenta de que ya estaba toda la serie disponible, o casi toda, porque falta la historia de Belial (que espero que salga pronto).

Si han seguido mis reseñas, sabrán que este año me quejé sobre el exceso de escenas sexuales. Aunque aquí también ocurren en la primera parte, las considero necesarias, ya que el protagonista es un demonio, ¡y nada menos que el demonio de la lujuria! Por lo tanto, este tipo de escenas tienen sentido. No voy a negar que al principio esto me desanimó un poco, ya que pensé que todo el libro sería así y que no se desarrollaría el tema de por qué estos demonios ya no quieren estar en el infierno, cómo es posible que hayan cambiado de bando, etc. Afortunadamente, me equivoqué, y sí hubo un buen desarrollo en la historia, aunque el final queda abierto para la continuación de las siguientes historias.




Spoilers ⚠️
Necesito saber qué pasó con J y D. Me niego a creer que ya no estarán juntos y que no haya alguna forma de solucionar que ella sea mortal.

4.25⭐️
This was a delightful read! It was a great balance of spice with mostly plot which I appreciate immensely!
I thought this book was actually going to have a bunch more graphic spice content but the author smartly didn’t succumb to that.

It’s hard to categorize this book as it has facets of paranormal romance (which is its main genre) coupled with dark romance, romance com and urban fantasy. It makes a perfect storm of a book. I’m so glad it’s getting another boost and being released by Kensington Publishing in 2025
Especially because the book looks gorgeous!

I’ve had the preorder for the special edition for a while so I was thrilled when I saw it on NetGalley. So I was so thankful to have gotten an eARC for free from Netgalley and Kensington to enjoy which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

I can’t wait to read more from this author as she writes banter really well and is fairly straightforward, not getting bogged down in random descriptions and such.
So go check it out!!


My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up.

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again

My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher is a playful and imaginative romp that blends humor, romance, and supernatural intrigue in a delightfully quirky way. The chemistry between the leads is entertaining, and Ascher’s lighthearted approach to the paranormal genre provides plenty of fun moments. However, while the book’s premise is charming, the plot occasionally leans too heavily on tropes, making some elements feel predictable and lacking in depth. The pacing can be a bit uneven, with certain scenes feeling more rushed than others, and some character motivations are left underexplored. Despite these minor issues, My Funny Demon Valentine is an enjoyable, escapist read for fans of rom-coms with a supernatural twist, offering an easy, entertaining experience.

This book seemed like it would be right up my alley, but it sadly fell very, very flat for me. I wasn’t a fan of the immediate hookup as I’m one for tension, and there was zero tension present. The writing was not terrible but not great. Eva was a great character, but all the demons seemed far too childish to be, well, ancient demons. There was nothing that kept me invested in the story at all. While I wanted so badly to enjoy this one, it just wasn’t for me.

This book was literally so much fun to read and enjoy. Aurora did a fantastic job with the characters and the plot of this story I couldn't get enough of it. It was witty, fun, sexy, and such. great concept for a book. I loved every minute of it!

The multiple POVs were so much fun to read and I cannot wait for more of it because if it's anything like this one, it'll be just as amazing!

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC!

My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher is the firstin the Hell Bent book series. Ash and his three brothers Bel, Raum, and Meph are on Earth after escaping Hell. Ash is the fallen Prince of Hell and was formally the Demon of Lust. When Ash is out with his brothers humans do not find him attractive at all due to a curse that was put on him thousands of years ago. Ash is now sitting in a bar enjoing the music whiole his brothers are attracting the attention of the girls in the bar. Ash is surprised when Eva approches him after her set had been completed. Bel, Raum, and Meph try to approach her first however, Eva only has eyes for Ash. Eva finds that Ash is funny in awkard way and soon they make a connection through their shared love of music. Ash and his brothers are being tracked by the "hunter" from Hell who has to bring them back no matter what. Now with Eva in tow Ash and his brothers have to go on the run and hide out until they can make sure they aren't found. This book was a combo of just the right amount of steam and comedy. I can't wait to read the other books in this series. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Kensington for letting me have an advanced copy of this novel.

I was able to read this because NetGalley provided with an arc. I loved this romantasy. Great Read. I would read more by this author.

My Funny Demon Valentine is a spicy paranormal romance about 4 demon brothers who escaped from Hell and are trying to learn how to blend in on Earth . This crew of devilish demon brothers are funny and scary at times. They are supposed to be bad guys, but they care so much for one another. Eva and Ash’s story is so sweet and heartwarming. I enjoyed the twist that involved Eva's parents even though I found it a bit predictable. Overall, the writing is not fantastic, but it is a light, fun read.

I really wanted to love this book, but I could not for the life of me get into it. it takes a lot for me to DNF a book, but this one got me. I got about 20% in, still didn't like it, and gave up.

A good romance for the paranormal book fans. Loved the banter. Overall a great read for the Halloween season!

This is the first time I have read anything written by this author, so I had no expectations going into it. It was written pretty well. I love the music mixed into the book, and the character banter. Ash and Eva made an interest romantacy to read. I enjoyed that it wasn't too dark romance but just right amount. I will be recommending this book to other to read. Thank you Net Galley ARC!

This good is a solid paranormal romance. Overall a really unique take on the concept, and I loved the interweaving of music throughout the book. I didn't love the random drop in POVs - they didn't add too much to the story for them to feel worth it (and in two cases definitely felt like they almost ruined a future surprise because the only reason that POV would be included was if X was going to happen). I also felt that the characters at times need a bit more fleshing out, but in general this is a fun read and that is more than accomplished. Are these going to be my new favorites, probably not, but I would happily read the rest of the series.

This book was an unexpected treat. I was quickly pulled into this romance and invested in the character, interested in the world buildling, and was suprised by the smart dialgoue and how well fleshed out the characters were. I am not typically interested in ‘dark romance’ but this did a nice job of not getting too dark and it worked as a ‘romantasy.’ The plot choices made sense to the story, such as curse that prevents Ash from experiencing senses, and provided logical reasons for each characters choices and growth. I particularly enjoyed that a shared love of music sparked the attraction between the leads and the later details on life as a musician made me more invested in their relationship. I will definitely be reading the author’s future titles, especially for the other demonic creatures we meet in the book.

DNF at about 30%. I simply couldn't get into this one. Poorly edited and feels like a bad Wattpad story.
