✨Review Highlights✨
- Cute and Cozy romance
- Relatable characters
- Adorable animal sidekick
- Well written
- Fast paces
- Full of yearning and longing
- Would recommend if you are looking for a cozy fall time read.
I was lucky enough to receive an e-ARC from the author and this is my honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. It was cute and fun, I giggled and kicked my feet and just had a good time reading. This book is very cozy, I felt safe with the relationship I felt like things were going to work themselves out the whole time so I didn't spend much time worrying about how things were going to be fixed. I needed this. I needed a very cozy relaxing and low stress read.
I loved the characters, their dynamic throughout the book just made me smile, did I want to throw my kindle at times because of their miscommunication? Absolutely I did, but I didn't and they got on the same page eventually. I just loved their romance. I loved how much longing and yearning there was between them. I enjoyed how their connection felt like it was literally pulling them together. And the push and pull between them until they finally gave in and just fell for each other.
I really enjoyed the writing. This was my first book by Emilia Abraham and I really liked the writing style so it makes me want to explore her other books.
I liked the pacing in this book. I felt like it read really fast and not just because it is just shy of 200 pages, but because it felt like the story just flowed really well. I really enjoy when the story just flows well and it seems like you just started the book and all the sudden you are reading the last pages. And I didn't feel like we were missing any of the story, I felt like it was a full and well rounded story.
I would recommend this book if you are in the mood for a cute and whimsy, cozy story about a witch and a demon.

What Not to Do When Summoning a Demon by Emilia Abraham is such a wild, fun ride! From the very first chapter, I was hooked by the witty writing, laugh-out-loud moments, and a storyline that’s equal parts clever and chaotic.
The premise is brilliant, mixing supernatural mischief with sharp humor, and Emilia delivers it perfectly. The characters are full of personality, their banter is quick and entertaining, and the situations they find themselves in are both ridiculous and oddly relatable. I loved how the book blends modern life with demonic mayhem, creating a story that feels fresh, funny, and totally unique.
What makes this book shine is the balance between comedy and tension. Just when you’re laughing at an awkward mistake, the stakes rise, and you can’t help but keep turning the pages to see what happens next. It’s the perfect mix of humor, heart, and supernatural chaos.
If you enjoy books that don’t take themselves too seriously but still deliver a strong, engaging story, this one is a must-read. Emilia Abraham has crafted something original, witty, and wickedly fun.

(I received an ARC copy, and this is my honest opinion)
I had such high hopes and expectations for this book. I follow this author on TikTok, and we her followers sort of forced her... dare I say bullied her into writing this book after telling us about this book idea.
And let me just say maybe we should "bully" her more... "bully" her into writing a whole series... because this was perfect.
I enjoyed every part of this: the characters, the storyline, the chemistry between the main characters, the side characters, the steamy scenes, the genre, the writing style, and I was not disappointed. I have one unanswered question that I need answered (who's damn cat is that?)... make that two unanswered questions (who summoned Dimitri in whose cupboard does he end up in?) for that reason alone, I need a follow-up book. Preferably another stand alone interconnected, which answeres my queries but also that delves into all the characters I became fond and intrigued of.

What Not to do When Summoning a Demon by Emilia Abraham exceeded all of my expectations! I first learned about this book when the Author was toying with the idea of writing it (I love discovering new books through Tiktok!). I immediately knew it was going to be a book worth reading and I wasn't wrong. It went above and beyond all of my expectations and I fell even more in love with the characters than I had hoped I would.
I love how awkward Clara is. She isn't a witch full of grace knowing exactly what to do. She draws imperfect runes, hates Latin, gets stuck in random places and struggles opening jars. All of which our lovable demon, Omen, can't resist no matter how hard he tries.
All of the characters have their own unique charm and I love how the different dimensions of earth and hell are represented. This book is definitely worth the read and I would love to see more added to it! I think we need a Dimitri book because whose closet was he being sent to?!

(I received an ARC copy of this book. My opinions are my own.)
When I stumbled on this concept on TikTok, I immediately followed Emilia and waited for updates on this book. I'm not gonna lie, when I got to be an ARC reader, I did a happy dance.
All that being said: this book lived up to the hype. It's a cozy paranormal romance with all the scenes that you need to giggle and kick your feet to.
This is the sort of book that you want to curl up with on a rainy day and devour in one sitting. The witch is adorable and sassy and the demon is quite literally hot. Their dynamic is a nice balance of sweet and banter, with just a touch of overprotective thrown in at the right moments (on both their parts). Throw in the animal sidekick with more questions than answers and it's the perfect, cozy read.
10/10 would recommend.

Everything about this was perfectly executed. Honestly, from the character building to the plot to the settings, just perfect. I absolutely loved both Clara and Omen. They worked to well together right from the start. Clara's overall awkwardness was such a great foil to Omen's surety (despite not knowing anything about the mortal world.)
This is the perfect book to help settle into the cozy fall vibes. It's low angst, medium speed burn (for a 200 page book), and has characters that feel like warm hugs. The pacing is well done and the plot is nigh on nonexistent. It's just a very well done cozy paranormal romance.

This was so sweet and so funny. Who wouldn't want a demon to help out around the house? And that meet cute of summoning him to open a jar, adorable. I love getting the dual pov so we could see just how fast and hard they we falling for one another. There was so many heart melting and hilarious moment. oh but we can't forget that spicy which was so good too. Such a fun, cute and quick read, I couldn't put it down. Lastly I cant wait for more with Dimitri's story.

What a delightful romantic comedy of a book. I very much enjoyed reading this book.
Clara is a witch who needs a jar opened; it's a special jar of pasta sauce her mother made. She summons a demon, Omen, who keeps coming back to do other odd tasks.
The witty banter was great, and it was an enjoyable read.

Super cute and fun!
I was wanting some fall vibes and this delivered! So cute, silly, and fun with a heck of a slow burn but a nice little nugget of steam! The angst was cute but still present as the MMC tries to do the right thing even though he wants her. Nice quick read to get you into the fall vibe!

I received a copy of this as an ARC from the author
I very much enjoyed Clara and Omen’s story. I laughed and swooned and really liked the story overall. I did end up feeling like that world is not over with Dimitri’s storyline. And I really really hope that it’s true. I will definitely be a long time fan of the author and highly recommend other’s read her books as well!

Quick and Cozy
This is exactly the book I needed today. I normally don’t read entire books in just one day, but I could not leave Clara and Omen’s story once I got started. This is everything I wanted from the story from the first time I heard the description of it from the author on TikTok.

The ONLY reason it took 2 sessions to finish reading was that it was 3 am and I had work in a few hours.
I adored this book! It was cozy and sweet and funny. Full lives/histories of the characters and real emotions kept me turning the page. And I definitely had a happy little sigh at the well earned end. I want to sit by a fire place and read this all over again.

This was a good palette cleanser. It's a slow burn and has good banter, and is funny in ways you wouldn't expect. I also really like that there's basically a whole chapter on how the demon deals when the witch gets her period.

So freaking cute!
I loved this book so much. The banter back and forth between all of the characters was hilarious and kept me turning page after page. I am looking forward to book 2.

I can’t say enough about this. Super cozy, I was giggling, screaming and kicking my feet the entire time. Really good writing. Just a fun time, totally what I needed to get me out of my slump.

Emilia Abraham has done it again. What Not to Do When Summining a Demon has all the spice and so much more. This was a sinful read in all the best ways.

A Good Read
I absolutely loved this book. I laughed out loud several times while reading it. Now I need more. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

Leider hier und da etwas verwirrend, da der Zusammenhang zwischen den verschiedenen Welten nicht gut erklärt wird. Man hat das Gefühl, dass immer wieder Seiten fehlen.
