​Witches, Demons, and Romance

Picture
From the very beginning, we're whisked away into a world where the ordinary clashes with the extraordinary. Imagine a life where your biggest concern is expanding the family spice farm and maybe, just maybe, getting a cat. But for Spice Trader Cinnamon, her quiet life is disrupted by a wine drunk escapade that leads her into a quest with a fiery demon. This isn't your average romcom; it's a fantasy that's sweet, steamy, and funny. 

Our hosts peel back the layers of this quirky tale, discussing everything from the diverse cast of characters to the modern language that gives a fresh twist to the fantasy genre. They don't shy away from the spicy romance that unfolds between Cinnamon and her demon companion, Fallon. And yes, there are trigger warnings, but as Casey points out, they're handled with care, adding depth to the story rather than detracting from the enjoyment.

As Tamara and Casey reflect on their reading experience, it's clear that this book has made an impression. With laughter and earnest discussion, they explore the themes of freedom and love, and how sometimes, saving a demon can be the least of your worries when your heart is on the line.

Whether you're a fan of fantasy, romance, or just looking for a book that is unique, this episode is a must-listen. Join Tamara and Casey on this literary journey that's as unpredictable as it is delightful. By the end, you might just find yourself reaching for your own copy of 'That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon' to experience the magic firsthand.

Listen to the episode now and let the enchantment of this romantasy sweep you off your feet. Who knows? You might just find yourself rooting for witches, demons, and the power of a good spice farm.
