A Twist of Demon: Cocktails in Hell

 


Book Review : 





Want longer hair, whiter teeth, a smaller nose?

Violet has a potion for that.

Want to hex an enemy, make someone fall in love with you, or curse someone?

Well…that will cost you.

By day, Violet is a supposed charlatan running a potion shop in New Orleans and catering to drunk tourists who want to take a walk on the wild side. By night, she’s a Potion Master, a rare, magical being whose shop straddles the portal to Earth and Hell, slinging potions to magical beasts who only come out at night.

She’s also the protector of both, a neutral being who carefully navigates the Accords between oblivious humans and the creatures who wouldn’t mind snacking on them. Unfortunately for both sides, Violet is terrible at her job.

After the last Potion Master dies a horrible death and she’s pulled out of anonymity by a handsome and super annoying demon, Violet’s shop transforms and she’s thrust into unwanted instafame. And not the good kind, either.

Suddenly, everyone either wants to date her, or they want to kill her.

And, honestly? Violet isn’t sure which one is easier anymore.


Book Review 

I just gulped this book down in a matter of hours and shouted in dismay when I saw the next book is 28 days away from my grasp. It was mesmerizing and lol funny. Violet, I actually remember her name for the review bc her personality is so memorable. Yes there are times i go to write a review of an entire book and can't recall the characters name..Violet has that quality and strength of character that is just so lovable and admirable. She's made mistakes and learned from them, granted she's immortal so has a more flexible scale of due consequences, like accelerated healing, but she doesn't continue to repeat her mistakes and she holds her own in any situation. I was rereading many of her lines and just saying them out loud the second time around because they are powerful and you want to own them yourself. I struggle finding books like that so this was a treat. I freaking love her and would be her friend in a heartbeat. I can't wait for the next one.
