Satan's In Your Kitchen

by Charlotte Zang

A century old bargain. A humble carpenter. A successful artist…and Satan. All the essential ingredients for a modern romantic comedy.In an ordinary town, in an ordinary house, lives Lysander, a not so ordinary young artist whose views on the world around her are just a bit…strange. Strange enough that she finds herself in a friendship with Satan and dealing with the comings and goings of demons, all visiting through an ancient doorway in her basement, to be no cause for concern. Lucifer’s intentions reach far beyond friendship though. As do those of Aidan, her hardworking carpenter and loyal friend. The only difference is, one is the Prince of Darkness and will stoop to whatever depths necessary to gain her love, while the other has nothing but good intent and morals, and would traverse the depths of Hell to find his love and bring her back to the surface without looking back.Amidst the peril of this devil of an un-requited love triangle, we find Gluttony, a deceptively cute man-eating demon, an Incubus as members of a rock band, a Succubus and the Devil himself attending a bachelor party, along with an over abundance of lust.So the question can a mere man ever compare to the Lord of the Underworld?Satan’s In Your Kitchen is the first book in a fantastical romantic comedy series that features demons, angels, and plenty of shenanigans between them and the humans of earth. If you’re fond of whimsy and satire then you’ll love the first installment in Charlotte Zang’s romantic Lysander O’Conner series.Buy Satan’s In Your Kitchen to discover this charming new series today!

About the author

Charlotte Zang has three previously published books; Satan’s In Your Kitchen (a romantic comedy between a handsome carpenter, a charming ditz and Satan), Consuming Beauty (a diary of a young woman and a beastly man) and Blooding (a horrific story of monsters and the occult). The fantasy trilogy, Trust of the Magdrid, is complete and currently in the editing phases. She fully believes in fairy tales, magic and following your dreams.

If someone tells you there is no happily ever after, they’re lying.

Consuming Beauty has been adapted into a short film as has one of her short stories. She is a fan of science fiction and fantasy, loves all things kawaii, and collects journals she’ll never write in. She lives in Southern California with three loyal hounds, some impartial cats and her very own vampire husband. When she’s not writing she enjoys gardening, watching a good movie (or a bad one), reading all sorts of genres and cooking ridiculously scrumptious nibblies.

Reviews

[Emma Demopoulos]

YESSSSS!! This book has all of the sass, adorable, and swoon-worthy moments that a romantic comedy needs. Lysander and Aidan are a perfect match; Lysander’s artistic and eclectic ways perfectly balance Aiden’s grounded and reliable demeanor. Lucifer is a dynamic character who causes as many crazy problems as you can imagine and his character is treated with nuance and care. He’s as charming as is frustrating and bad. The dynamic of all three together propel the book forward and leave the reader wanting more.

Side note: Declan is bae and I hope to read more of his character soon!

I have a new favorite book. Satan's In Your Kitchen by the amazing and talented Charlotte Zang was fresh, original…and insanely hilarious. This book was everything you could possibly want in a great read. From the first few pages, I was laughing out loud. When I wasn’t laughing aloud at the in your face comedy moments, I was chuckling at the rich subtle humor that was spritzed throughout. A simply delightful read. This book was filled with so much charm; so many amusing moments. These are the things great books are made of. It was simply a golden find for me as a reader. You met characters/creatures from both Heaven and Hell and they’re all one-of-a-kind and have their own quirky personality. I’m not going to list them here as that one of the best surprises while reading this book. Charlotte gifted you with these characters along the way as the story unfolded. I’m sure you have heard of most of these characters at some time in your life, but Charlotte gave them all their own unique traits. Even the earthly inhabitants you meet in the town where Lysander and Aiden live (and where Satan visits) are out-right zany and eccentric. One of my favorite characters, besides the main leads, had to be Lance. I liked him so much that I’ve walked around the house quoting him for Laurie’s (and mine) amusement. Lance is… well, how should I say it? He is a... (well, I’m not going to tell you everything about this book, you have to get it and read it for yourself. You’ll be glad that you did). My only regret is that I didn’t pick it up and read it sooner. As Lucifer Morningstar might say, “I adored the hell out of this book! It’s filled with some major devilish and crazy-good fun.” Might I ask: When is the second book in this series coming out? I need it now! Wonder which room Satan will be in in that one?

A comical supernatural Romance

Satan’s in your Kitchen kept me smirking the entire way through. The live triangle between Lucifer, Lysander, and Aiden is compelling and engaging. I learned to trust Aiden’s judgement through out the book, as he proved to be a reliable character capable of seeing the bigger picture. Lysander’s big heart and peacemaker attitude made the triangle all the more better as Aiden and Lucifer competed for her affections.

I love this book, but of course I'm biased.
