That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is a charming fantasy rom-com and the first in the Mead Mishaps series.

The audiobook is narrated by Hazel Addison, and she was very entertaining to listen to! I’ll definitely be seeking out other books she narrates.

This was such a fun read; I inhaled it in one sitting! I have a feeling this series is going to end up as a comfort reread for me in time.

Our heroine Cin (short for Cinnamon) is sassy and fun and I loved that she wore skirts with hidden pockets so she can stow away wine and snacks. I laughed so loud after one particular line that I had to immediately share it with friends.

I particularly enjoyed the world-building and am looking forward to reading further in the series. There were also tons of easter eggs about other media I enjoy, like dungeons & dragons and Hamilton. The steamy scenes were well done and lean a little into light bdsm.

CW: violence, light dubcon, mentions of sexual violence (in conversation, does not occur)
