Please Stop Summoning Me

by Wynn Valentine

She just wanted to help her basil plant. He was in the middle of a soul-soak. Now they’re magically tethered by a contract neither of them understands—and the only way out is emotional satisfaction.

Evie Thorne’s dorm room may be small, cluttered, and technically fire-coded against unsupervised rituals—but that’s never stopped her before. One slightly smudged summoning circle and a mispronounced incantation later, she accidentally yanks Varrux the Soul-Eater out of his infernal spa day and into her very inconvenient life.

The ancient contract now binding them? Can’t be broken until both parties achieve “mutual satisfaction.” No one’s quite sure what that means—but Varrux is deeply offended by the implications.

Now the grumpy demon lord is stuck in a cozy academic cottage with Evie, her overly judgmental familiar Crumble, and a magical course load she’s definitely behind on.
She’s sunshine and spilled tea. He’s doom, dread, and aggressively folded towels.
And unfortunately, the longer they’re stuck together, the harder it is to deny the bond might be growing stronger than either of them planned.

A cozy fantasy romantic comedy full of magical mishaps, reluctant bonding, grumpy/sunshine chaos, and slow-burn love with a soul-binding twist.

DNF this is just a jumble

It's like the author started the store forgot what she wrote and started over in chapter 2. Everyone changed personality &forgot they met, so confused 😕

Please Stop Summoning Me was SO stinking cute! I laughed out loud more than once — the humor and chaos were just fantastic. I think the romance could have been written a little stronger, but the romcom side absolutely carried it. It’s such a fun, clever, and heartwarming read that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Honestly, this one confirmed it for me — romcoms might just be my favourite genre. 💕

fighting with my own heavy dislike of stories that are not consistent within themselves. Example - in chapter one he arrived in a "Robe" accompanied by bath bubbles - in chapter two he is described as arriving in high court dress. the demon is known about and then he is not known. Sheesh! but there are funny moments.

The writing itself wasn't too bad, but it seems the author has, between the first two chapters, written two different beginnings on accident.

Pretty sure this is written by AI. The story loops on itself and forgets plot points and character interactions.

It was good

The book was good and so was the idea but I feel like a lot of the writing over lapped itself and was repeating itself in its wording. I love the chemistry of the two main characters And crumble was my favorite. But I do feel like we jump around and miss some details that are important through out the story.

Heard the audiobook, where the beginning was done right. Sweet weird funny story.

I listened to this on audio while working on some crafts I may have to physically read it to follow it better though
