A cozy paranormal romance for the holidays~

Clara, Darling by Chace Verity

December 6, 2024 by LB Leave a Comment

Chace Verity is one of my absolute fave authors, and they’ve held that title since their debut, Team Phison, so any time they have a new release I get all excited. Clara, Darling is a holiday (Christmas) novella, but unlike Verity’s previous Christmas story (Team Phison Forever), this has much less family trauma and is almost dream-like in its story tell. Sadie has been married to Alvin for ten years, but in all that time she’s never forgotten her best friend and first love, Clara. […]

“It’s not fair that evil bosses are just oppressive losers in real life.”

Second Chance with the Demon by Chace Verity

May 1, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

When your terrible boss tells you he would never screw you over and that you are the most important employee, things are about to get really bad at work. The more of Chace Verity’s books I read, the more I love them. Their characters are soft, accepting, respectful, funny, and extremely horny. hen they get to the point where they are having sex, there is so much joy. Chrystal loves writing video games even though the small company she works for is rife with toxic […]

The Demon Inside Me by Chace Verity

March 22, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I adore Chace Verity’s queer demon romances. Their human characters are working class and their sensibilities are solidly anti-bootstraps. Colby works at a low end big box store where, as he says, dreams go to die. Colby makes enough to pay rent and occasionally have a night out with the guys he has been friends with since junior high. He’s in the group chat, but their lives have diverged from his – they make more money and have office jobs that get more respect. Colby […]

Double Cannonballing with Canadian Zombies, Necromancers, and Demons

One Heart by Chace Verity

September 26, 2022 by Emmalita 9 Comments

Chace Verity is one of my favorite authors of the past couple of years. Their soft Canadian demon romances are delightful, weird, and fun. They also acknowledge and address the frustrations of existing in late stage capitalism with it’s dehumanization and the constant grind of mere existence. In One Heart, they give us a true romance where the love interest dies early in the book and then raise their middle fingers at Canada’s far Right. Perfect for spooky season election season. (If you can register […]

Sweet Queer Supernatural Romance

Match With the Demon by Chace Verity

January 30, 2022 by GentleRain 2 Comments

I saw Emmalita’s positive review of this and decided to pick it up — I’d never read anything by Chace Verity and it’s been a while since I read any romance outside of fanfic, so this was a bit of a random read. But it was very sweet and cozy, which is the type of book I was in the mood for. I breezed through it and enjoyed it. Match With the Demon follows Harrison, a single dad whose son Justin just left for college. Harrison […]

It’s a cozy trashy romance!

Match with the Demon by Chace Verity

January 30, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

It’s a cozy trashy romance! All of the author’s cozy demon romances have been an absolute delight, and this one is no different. While past books have dealt with single parents of teens and elementary schoolers, this one has an empty nester. “It was probably too late to freak out over having a greasy Valentine’s Day meal in a sports bar with an actual demon. But it was not too late to be thoroughly confused. How had he matched with a demon on his first […]
