I've Got You Under My Skin

by Kat Paige

First rule of demonic possession: don't fall in love

Lacy Gordon, amateur paranormal investigator, is experiencing the supernatural world in a way she never expected. While climbing out the window of a haunted house, an unseen force collides with her, thrusting her into the unknown. She soon finds herself trapped in the depths of her own mind, desperately screaming for freedom. To her surprise, someone responds.

This disembodied voice belongs to Tonkitgrol, or "Kit," as he prefers to be called—a demon with somewhat of a heart. Even so, Lacy isn’t about to relinquish control of her body. Armed with relentless curiosity, she bombards him with questions, hoping to annoy him into leaving her be. As she delves deeper into the mystical realm, she uncovers more about Kit’s tormented past. Once human like her, he endured centuries of suffering in Hell before choosing to become a demon.

Despite their differences, Lacy and Kit forge an unlikely partnership. Together, they work on a submission for a paranormal investigation reality show contest that Lacy plans to win. As Lacy finds her feelings for Kit inexplicably deepening, she faces an agonizing decision: should she exorcise him and shatter her heart, or dive into the chaos of sharing her life—and her body—with a demon straight from Hell?

This book was a good time!! I loved the uniqueness of the story I haven’t encountered nor read a book like that before although I think I kinda watched a movie like it before. The MMC was soo funny and cute. He was a broken tortured golden retriever ( my fav type of MMCs ). The FMC was tough and kind. I loved their banter and their chemistry. The pace of the book was good I was able to finish it ( that is a big deal I haven’t been able to finish any novel since forever!!!)

The thing that I didn’t like was that I think that the problems they faced were solved too easy and rushed also the nickname kitten pls I hate it and what made it even worse that the FMC gave it to the MMC !! 😩

After having come straight from another Romance, I wasn't sure how this would hit as I like to mix up my genres, but a deadlines a deadline so I went straight to it!

I was able to read an ARC copy of I've got You Under My Skin and it did not disappoint! I was really happy with the balance of horror-paranormal/ meets romance mixed with a little comedy.

I've not read any of the authors previous books but I likely will now based off this one. Well paced, enjoyable, emotions in the right places. Likeable characters and the pet names didn't bother me as they didn't feel over used as they can.

Overall it was a feel good rom-com vibe that was a good way to help relax in the evenings.

Bonus points for the cat rescue ;)

Thanks to Love Notes PR and Kate Paige for the ARC!

I had a great time with this book, mostly because I haven't read anything like it! Talk about forced proximity: only one BODY! Kate wrote the spice for this particular situation in a magnificent and hot way!

Kit is our demon/golden retriever MMC and Lacy, the FMC, is fun and relatable, even of we're in a paranormal romance.

I loved it and recommend it if you want to read something unique!

Tropes to look for:

😈 Only one body
😈 Forced proximity
😈 Demon x Ghost hunter
😈 Loathe to love
😈 Paranormal romance

I've Got You Under My Skin👻
Firstly,I want to thank LoveNotes PR & Kat Paige for trusting me with this ARC!
Lacy,a paranormal investigator,just happened to be at the wrong place the wrong time.
Kit,a demon,just found his new vessel.
And life will never be the same for either of them!

OKAYYY!I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
I've got you under my skin is a paranormal comedy that will make you cry from laughter FOR SURE.While giving you a wonderful romance to enjoy ! 🩷
Lacy,has always been the kid that was into paranormal stuff,and as an adult this interest only grew bigger and bigger.As a woman,she is literally so,so funny!I ADORED her lines so much!
As her story goes by,we read about a deeply emotional woman that will do ANYTHING for the man she loves,even if she has to go the Hell,itself.
Kit on the other hand,is such a softie,with that make me him so cute!It is seen that he doesn't want to hurt Lacy,and that maybe Hell wasn't his personal choice.
As a character,he has so much depth,something that we rarely see in those kinda of books.Paige did an amazing job writing him,exactly as he should be.
Their romance was something between crawling back to you and never touch me again & THAT'S WHY,LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,I devoured this book.
We don't know if they are gonna love or hate each other till the last 70 %,and oh boy YOU WILL NEED TO LEARN!
Ending,I can say that this is one of my favorite genres that is so hard to write and even harder to find out,so trust me when I say Kat Paige did a 👌🏻 job

Title: I've Got You Under My Skin
Author: Kat Paige
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was in a class of its own. I loved the whole paranormal, comical romance that was just chef's kiss. So Lacey was jumping out a haunted house window after a paranormal investigation to which she was kind of thrust into the unknown. She was screaming and begging for help that's when Tonkitgol aka Kit heard and I guess u could say possessed her. They do forge a very amazing partnership which I thought was actually amazing. They were both very protective and grew together. I will say that I have never laughed as much as I did with this book it was that good. I do like how Lacey gave kit the nickname kitten kind of fitting. He was this really I guess it's a golden retriever style demon. I did love the whole guessing game though with kit cuz you never really knew what he was going to say or what he was going to do he was just like fly by the seat of your pants kind of demon. Overall I do think this was a unique storyline with an amazing twist and turns and comedic value. I will say that even though he was a jokester he was in a sense a touch her and see what happens. I did like the aspect when the author put in there that kit was a demon that was human at one time but he suffered a good bit of hell and then chose to become a demon I really like that side note of it. I really like this I'm interested to see if it progresses further. But I most certainly will be reading more Kat Paige books in the future.

thank you to the author and Love Notes PR for the arc!!! xxx

good lord i love paranormal romance !!!!
I loved Lacy’s strong character, how she genuinely thinks everyone leaves her on purpose and how that fit so well into her and Kit’s story. Her employment arc was also super fun. I also want to work in a bookstore (and then go on to do what she does after, obviously). I loved just how human she was, from tv show references, to caring how well she tended to a cat that didn’t belong to her. Thanks to her cousin, she is so adventurous when it comes to paranormal things, and is so driven when it comes to talking to ghosts. She was a wonderful main character to follow.

Getting more hints and clues about Kit’s past throughout the book was also super cool, because it gave me a chance to guess what kind of person he was, even though he’d totally be okay robbing a bank… maybe. at least it would be for Lacy’s benefit lol.

I loved the overall adventure that went on here, i loved the time they spent together, the reasons behind it… just everything was perfect. I also loved Matthias as a side character. He was such a lovely friend.

The pacing was just right, everything belonged in this book, and not one second of it felt rushed. I'm also obsessed with the little ghosts at the start of every chapter!! I've been loving paranormal romance this past year, so this was a perfect addition to my collection. Them sharing a body was so interesting as a concept, and I thought that the way the inside of Lacy's head was described was quite fun!

ARC review
Antecdotal thoughts while reading
This will be my 1st paranormal type book, let's see how it goes....
Lacy - Ghost hunter type medium person? Ghostbuster??
Wait, wait, wait...your "re-entry into this world". Where are you from?
WTH just happened? Was that a ghost/spirit?
Not my idea of a good time, searching for ghosts.
Welp, at least you are being nice and respectful to the voice and not freaking out.
Wait, wait, wait....is this voice going to make her dinner or something??
Terms and Conditions from back in 2013??
How odd to be looking at yourself through a window but not really seeing and feeling things.
The void fills up????
Wait, is she back to herself now that she has 🤮?
Could Hudson be the demon?
Ummm, just no "Richard"
Talking animals like from Wicked rule the place, huh.
Matthias, what's your plan?
Oh no.....a 🐝!!!
Did Kit make a deal with his nephew's health?
Coffee, one cream 😍
Cool house find Kit
How Kit??? How??
Persistent Kit
Even miss persistent Lacy, plus a right hook to impress with.
The UK makes sense, as much as any other place. That's where most of his being is.
Literally through hell and high water!
Matthias, you are the ride or die friend we all need in life.

I found myself deeply involved and emotionally attached to this story almost immediately! Lacy and Kit are two of my most favorite characters I've read in quite some time 🥹

This takes you on a heart-warming, emotional journey as Lacy and Kit fight to defeat evil and take back their soul(s). I was simultaneously on the edge of my seat and incredibly cosy the whole time - at no given point did I know Kit's next move (in the best way). Kit is such a sweet, sweet golden retriever - I love the time and attention he paid to Lacy, and the way that he came to love and fight for himself, too.

I really loved the way the plot was wrapped up in a bow! Although there were times with suspense and sadness, the ending it was cosy and low-stakes in a fresh-baked bread right out of the oven type of way.

An unhinged, swoon-worthy, wild ride - and worth every. single. second. I devoured this in one sitting and was sad to close the book when it ended. It's not often I wish the story would keep going, but it was hard to say goodbye to Lace & Kitten.

Thank you so much to Love Notes PR for an eARC of this book!

3.5 ⭐️

Thank you Love Notes PR for the eARC of this book.

Demon x human
1 body
Forced proximity
Slow burn

A demon possesses your body do you :
A.research how to perform an exorcism
B.watch Friends together
C.catch feeling for said demon
D.all of the above

It’s not everyday you see your hometown mentioned in a book! I immediately sent the author a dm because I thought it was coincidence… nope the book takes place where I live!

I have never read a demon book quite like this before. If I could split the book in half, Part 1 would easily get 5 stars. The banter between Kit and Lacey was excellent! Watching their connection intensify while sharing a body was different but also fun to see.

“I know I am not the expert, but normal demons don’t get crushes. They don’t pick random women to…to protect out of nothing more than kindness. Torture, maybe. Terrorize, but not…not to care about.””

The second half of the book was just off for me. Even though it’s fiction and a paranormal romance.. it just felt too far fetched for me.

All in all I’m happy I read this book. Just because it wasn’t my favorite doesn’t mean it won’t be yours!

[FN · Rating 5 out of 5]

The paranormal setting involving paranormal investigating and paranormal creature is definitely unique and interesting, i was completely sold on it 😂. Watching the MMC and FMC get to know each other while sharing the same body is a unique dynamic, and it made their emotional journey even more intimate. Seeing their feelings slowly deepen into love is adorable and their chemistry was undeniable and so soo sweet. I love their personalities and how they complemented one another. The story is well-structured and smoothly paced, making it easy to stay invested from start to finish. I absolutely enjoy and love this story!

Im thankful to be given the opportunity to read this in advance.

[Jordan Eddy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had the pleasure of receiving an advanced copy of this book from love notes PR and it did not disappoint.

This book is not typically where I venture out to in terms of a romance book but it was very cute. The MMC Kit is the true definition of a golden retriever boyfriend and Lacey giving off some major black cat energy (bonus points for having a black cat as a pet as well).

The beginning grabbed be in from the exposing me to paranormal aspects that I don’t typically read in books often. It was a great change of pace for my reading and I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store!

[Lucia · Rating 5 out of 5]

So grateful getting this ARC. I just read this in one sitting. I love the characters, the themes and the settings. The vulnerable moments between Lacy and Kit were so good. I wish I could see more of it towards the ending and they figured out the new way of life. I wish I could get Kit's POV when he went back to California because that would have been a wholesome moment. I felt that that part was rushed and it could have been given little more details and time.

Overall it was great.

Arc reader review.

Man, oh man.

I wish I had enough words to explain the love I have for this book. The love I have for the characters and especially how fast and easy it was to love them. They are genuinely some of my favorite characters. The writing was so good and smooth and I loved everything about it.

I wish I was better with words but my brain is nothing but "loved the book, loved the book so much".

Thank you for letting me be part of their adventure.

[Laura Moncrief · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first Kat Paige to read. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the ghost hunting, but I absolutely loved it! It takes real talent to write a demon that you actually want to keep around. I really enjoyed the Tonkitgrol character especially when he was possessing Lacy. Their relationship made me laugh. Great book!

[Scarlett Haigh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you for the opportunity to read this as an ARC.
I was super in to the alternative kind of vibes of a paranormal ghost hunting FMC and she just generally seemed like such a cool character.
I found it really interesting to read the relationship between FMC and MMC and how it evolved throughout the plot

[Aly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun story! Honestly, I haven't read a monster romance quite like this before so that made it more fun for me! I loved the pacing and the storyline. i loved our MMC. With a ghost hunting FMC and a golden retriever demon MMC, you can't really go wrong!

[Taylor Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very cute read with a little bit of spice. I loved both of the MMC and FMC. It had a good twist in. It would definitely recommend this author to anyone who loves a good love story with a little bit of a twist! 💜💜💜

3.75 stars! This took me a while to get into and I spent 70% of the book being concerned about how they was gonna be a happy ending if they were sharing the same body lol obviously everything worked out! I thought the plot was very fun and really enjoyed the development of the characters!
