Hello friends!
In this blog, I’m reviewing That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming. As usual, the first half of the review will be spoiler-free, and more about my overall thoughts. The second half will contain spoilers, so look away if you haven’t read the book yet.
One of these days I’ll stop saying that I picked this book up on a whim from the library.
But who doesn’t look at this cover and say it screams Kait? Bright colors. Eye-catching art. The title. I had to give it a try and I’m so happy that I did.
The story is unique while still familiar. And I think this is what makes it a superb title for the romantasy genre. It’s heavy on the romance, while having that fantasy backstory. The adventure is large but contained (so don’t worry if you’re not a fantasy reader). Lemming has an amazing skill of weaving in the world-building. I never felt like I was juggling a lot (*cough* The Failures). I wasn’t sure how the entire adventure was going to fit into such a small book, but Lemming did a great job twisting the plot to make the story believable and quick.
Hilarious. I’m jealous of Lemming’s writing. Lemming, if you’re reading this, will you teach me??????
Surprisingly, the book had a lot of depth for being so small.
One word… dragons.
I’ve already read the second book.
Well-worded descriptions that played on the five senses.
Foodie fiction.
Cozy read. It's a little heavier than Legends and Lattes but along the same vein of a comfort read. Curl up in front of a fire and get cozy.
Too sex-heavy (I can’t believe I’m saying that). I wanted more plot, especially for the length of the story.
If you’re looking for a book to pad your reading numbers at the end of the year, this is the book for you. It’s a quick read.
Now look away if you don’t want spoilers.
I don’t have any spoiler content.
The story was short and sweet and was too short for big reveals.
I appreciated the characters.
I loved that Fallon turned out to be a dragon.
Happy Reading!
Love,
Kait
