Kimberly Lemming

For me, this book is perfect lol. I really enjoyed book one in this series, That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon, and I was so happy with this book. Kimberly Lemming is fast becoming one of my favorite authors - I love how she shifts from serious to hilarious and back with such ease.

This book involves a love spell that was meant for one character (Brie) accidentally getting used on another (Felix). The roofey aspect of love spells is addressed and how consent is taken away from the person that has had a love spell used on them. The author did a pretty good job navigating this - and it does make me consider wider questions like how to consent or is there consent in altered states? Consent is dynamic so it should be practiced that way - checking-in and verbalizing concerns or needs and changes to those things is normal.

CW: love spells (loss of consent), misogyny, cults ,tentacles, bondage, explicit sex… (altro)
