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.

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.

Oh, reading this was a treat!

I loved the chemistry between Ash and Eva and loved the depictions of them making music together. If the banter wasn't enough, I could almost feel the chemistry in their music making. Their instant attraction upon meeting was cute but I enjoyed seeing Eva question his motives for wanting to be with her and making me put a name to his newfound feelings.

The idea of demons wanting to live on Earth isn't new per se, but I found it intriguing that they're evolving into something not quite fully demon but also not quite fully human. Since the ending confirmed that this is only just book one, I'd love to see how future volumes further explore this notion.

Also Eva's mom is such a badass. She was my favorite character in this novel and I hope she gets her own form of happy ending. She truly needs it after this whiplash of a story.

This is my first story by this author and I'm pleasantly enthused. I'll for sure keep an eye out for the next books in the series. I cannot wait to see a human bust Mists' balls.

This had EVERYTHING I love.
Hilarious banter, action, great side characters, family drama/secrets and spice with all the feels! Count me in. I’ve never read a book by this author before but this was a pleasant surprise and I will absolutely be reading anything I can by Aurora.
