Love, Politics, and Other Acts of War
Book 2 of A Gentle Apocalypse Series, from the author of Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan, a #1 Amazon Best Seller.
There’s no rest for the wicked, especially when they have family next door.
After centuries of conquering kingdoms and terrifying the cosmos, the Demon Overlord just wants to retire in peace. Unfortunately, peace is hard to find in Lower Middleton, a quiet village full of gossip, feuds, and one dangerously charming succubus—who also happens to be his "cousin."
Now Willem Porter (definitely not Galornus Prime, Destroyer of Worlds) must navigate enchanted pickles, noble politics, and the delicate art of staying out of trouble, all while pretending he’s just a humble turnip farmer.
A cozy, laugh-out-loud fantasy of infernal bureaucracy, reluctant heroism, and small-town chaos.
Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Good Omens, and anyone who likes their comfort reads served with sarcasm, tea, and a touch of demonic meddling.
Start your next infernal vacation in Lower Middleton today.

This is one of those series that I am defo going to binge read all the way through once completed. It was fun, mostly light and the demon lord was a little more active than the previous, again leading to another cliffhanger that he should've seen coming. Crazy goat, a succubus minion finding her own place, the DL losing his prized pickles and training. Loved this one. Looking forward to the next one.

Oh I LOVED this!!! I read the first one needing a palate cleanser from my book slump. Then I’ve spent the past 20 days waiting for this one to come out!! So warming and innovative. Found family trope always wins for me

Purely accidental luck on my part, this was released a whole 5 minutes after I finished the first book, which I randomly picked up from KU while looking for a short and funny read. This was a great continuation of the series, which picks up pretty much right at the end of book 1. While I have not found these lol funny, I have enjoyed them. The characters and story are great, and a good way to spend a couple of hours if you want something light to read. I will be reading book 3 when it comes out.

Loved this so much! So sweet and cosy, some of the best characters and banter. An excellent continuation to the first!
