Resolute: San Hades Chronicles: City of Demons
Demons walk among us, and it's our own fault.
For a down-on-their-luck human, visiting a Wish-Dealer demon is always an option. However, the wish may not be worth the price.
Mina needs money desperately. When she decides to barter her body for cash to a demon named Sebastian, she doesn’t quite know what she’s getting into.
Sebastian, the most renowned Wish-Dealer in the nation, does not trade sex for money. He's above such dealings, or so he thinks. But when the gorgeous and intriguing human named Mina shows up and offers herself? Well, that is a deal he can’t find it in himself to refuse.

This was a fun and smutty read with some serious quid pro quo going on in the form of a demon bargain. Let’s be real: who wouldn’t wanna jump on demon dick? Sounds like a win win to me!
Sebastian was all “I’m evil” with a hidden caramel center. He was never a kind person, which fit with who he was, but Mina def helped tilt him towards more kindness in general. Mina was shy, good-natured, and desperate, and Sebastian helped unleash her kinky side. He was a safe space for her too. They were cute together!
Spice: 5/5
Triggers: quid pro quo sex, mention of suicidal ideation, discussion of end of life care and implied Alzheimer’s, mention of elder neglect by medical staff, mention of past parent death, discussion of neglectful childhood of MMC, mentions of purity culture

Selling your body to a demon for some extra cash isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just kidding it's everything and more, especially when that demon is Sebastian. This book is hot hot hot and full of delicious moments including tail play, free use, and D/S dynamics. Mina definitely made this big scary demon a little kitten at times though and I love that. Such a fun short read!

Gave this a 4.5 and I am excited to continue the series.
I had a lot of fun reading this and I loved how Sebastian was only soft for her. Now I will say we got more talk of past examples of how much of an evil he it, but we don't get a lot of on page action, but I didn't care because I just loved how much of a goober he became when he was around her. I will say the FMC cries.... a lot but she is a softer FMC but she is full of determination and drive to take care of everyone and so she is just a person with a lot of feelings and gets overwhelmed and cries it out. It's healthy for some people to do that so I didn't mind too much especially when it through Sebastian into a tizzy because this is his first human/demon relationship, and he kept thinking he was breaking her, and it had me giggling. I love their chemistry which was off the charts and there was some good spice. I will say this for me was more plot forward compared to other short story/novella spicy books, but I didn't mind bc I am a plot girlie, and it allowed me to become invested in the characters to want to continue the series.

Girl in a tough situation makes a deal with a demon and he might have been the one to bit off more than he can chew.

I am definitely a simp for Bast.
I loved this short and spicy novella. Bast and Mina are so cute together. Big tough demon daddy but deep down a cinnamon roll for his human love.
Surprisingly sweet and incredibly spicy I ripped through this book.
Well written with enough detail to be happy with the world building.
Definitely a great palate cleanser.

4.75/5 ⭐️
4.0/5 🔥
I heard y’all were looking for a smutty little read with lovable main AND side characters? Well, look no further. Here it is! *chef’s kiss*
Alright - I’m a Bast fan for life. His POV is where most of my giggles and highlights came from.
I’m also a Mina fan for life, cause homegirl is really just trying her best and has the biggest heart. She’s also pretty relatable with her inner monologue, too (especially about Bast).
🔥Deal with a Wish-Dealer Demon (oh no, he’s hot)
♥️A deal even he can’t refuse (oh no, she’s hot, too)
🔥Headstrong FMC
♥️Dom/sub dynamics
🔥Big bad demon daddy (has a tail).. may actually be a softy
♥️Lots of spice
🔥Fated mates
♥️…and a whole lot more good stuff that I adored

🍒 resolute 🍒
Resolute is a short novella with a very deliciously demon called Sebastian - Bast💦- and a delicate but fierce human woman called Mina. She desperately needs money to take care of her family so she makes a deal with a demon- her body for money -.
To say this book was spicy is my most accurate statement. LOVE IT!!! A DEMON WITH A TAIL WHICH DO WONDERS TO A BODY!!!! Heaven is a place on earth with YOUUUU BAST❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥.
Resolute was absolutely lovely. They were such cute moments between Bast and Mina. Love how funny they reacted to the unexpected mate thing. Their chemistry was amazing since they first met.
✨She really made a deal he couldn’t refuse.✨
What can I say? - if you’re a knot nuts like me - Resolute is waiting for YOU.

Demon wish broker, and a downtrodden human what could me more fun.
Ok this book is original and sweet, and my goodness in all hades is this book good. The way Tilly took a different approach to mates and her world as a whole and how it works is a master piece.
Bast is a beast of a demon trying to work as a person in society rather than taking he a working guy (well working hes a rich demon who is a Wish Broker. And he comes across as this downtrodden sweet FMC, Mina who has not been able to catch one break and is drowning trying to take care of everyone.
Key points no particular order:
– demon
– human
– urban fantasy
– wish broker
– sub/d0m
– very spicy
– fates mates
– HEA

Holy hells (see what I did there), this was a fun and spicy book!
The chemistry and flirtatious banter between Bast and Mina was fantastic, and their internal monologuing was hilarious!
I loved how Bast thought he was a big, mean, evil demon but ended up being a sweet hell-puppy for Mina - I adored him! And Mina was so sweet with a heart of gold - she's the perfect balance to Bast.
Let's not forget Markus as a supporting character. He was sassy and hilarious, and I'm so glad he's going to get his own story!
I really enjoyed this book. It's the start of a new series, and I can't wait for more!

If you looking for a spicy 🌶️ quickie with a plot look no further.
Mina is a human wishing to get back on her feet and in comes the Wish Dealer demon, Sebastian.
Mina makes a trade for her wish and they both get more than the bargain for.
Sebastian thinks he is getting a shiny new toy to play with for a bit but fate has other plans, when Mina turns out to be his mate.
The spice is caliente in this read, with a tail that has his own agenda, and dom and sub dynamic between Sebastian and Mina that has me drooling 🤤.
I devoured this read in one sitting 🪑 and it was a great palette 🎨 cleanser.

This was so cute!! I just knew that Bast was secretly a big old teddy bear. Or, as Mina calls him, an Overgrown hellhound puppy. I liked the pacing of the story; it was perfect for a novella. It kept me really hooked. Markus is so sweet, and I was happy to hear he gets a book next! This was really hot, the free use and D/s dynamic was great and I loved that despite how evil he wanted to be seen as, Bast was always really attentive to how Mina was feeling. FANTASTIC GIVE ME 14 MORE. PLEASE :)

I didn't know I was in need of Sebastian but boy did he deliver!
Mina was a total sweetheart that needed the money for a really good reason and the lengths she took to get it was amazing.
Sebastian was oh so hot, he was a demon so he wasn't hearts and flowers but he had a soft side for Mina.
This was so good and so addictive I loved every minute of being with Sebastian and Mina and I can't wait for more from this world!

Such a great novella! I love the dynamic and chemistry between Mina and Bas. They are very seductive, funny, and just overall cute. It's sometimes hard to get good character development in a very spicy novella, and I really felt I knew the characters and completely fell in love. Please read the reader's note in the beginning to know what you're signing up for. And maybe not read this in public unless you have a good poker face!

*I was given this book but my review is based solely on my own thoughts and opinions*
Ooh this is dark and all kinds of depravity. If you’re looking for a dark, BDSM, Demon romance, raunchy, bad boy good girl novella, this is for you. I shouldn’t like it but I kinda do haha. I’m not a big fan of this genre normally but I’m glad I read it, I think the author did a great job given it’s a novella and a short read. I like this one better than some of the others cause the tropes are more my speed.

Hmm. Maybe it wasn’t for me?
I enjoyed it. It was spicy, had nice banter and was an easy read.
Some of the BDSM elements weren’t my kink (I know, I read the triggers) and it didn’t stop me from enjoying reading it but it stopped me from completely loving the book which is why I say it might not have been for me.
I’d 100% recommend giving it a try. It was very spicy.

This was fun! And smutty as hell in all the right ways. I always think it’s funny when books start with a dark premise but then turns into a sweet mush of a romance. Also points for a billionaire MMC and a poor FMC who is seriously like WTF about it. 🤣

I freakin love the MFC. She’s so open minded, strong, and sweet. She was so overwhelmed by his kindness and I’m so glad that she got someone who treats her how she deserves! He was a sweetie too. Ugh. So lovely.

Super sweet and spicy!
The fmc & mmc complimented each other’s characters really well. A good level of spice that naturally flowed with the rest of the story. Loved that the mmc was grumpy but actually a sweetheart to her.
Can’t wait to read the rest in the series ❤️🔥

November 13, 2024
This is literally the HOTTEST demon romance. Definitely check the trigger warnings- if you don't like d/s dynamics or @nal, you might want to skip this one. If you like kn0tting, @nal, tail play, and more, you're gunna love it. Tilly Bramley is always on point with the smut and this will not disappoint!!
