Delivering Evil for Experts

(The Guild Codex: Demonized #4)

by Annette Marie

If you're not familiar with Annette Marie's books, I'd start with Three Mages and a Margarita (The Guild Codes: Spellbound #1). The Spellbound books (8 total) and Demonized books (4 total) are parallel story lines in the same world that sometimes intersect. For reading order go here: https://annettemarie.ca

Genre: Urban Fantasy
Romantic Subplot: Marie is the Queen of Slow Burn.
Steam: Not fade to black but not graphic either.
Diverse: Eh. Side characters from the Guild Codex: Spellbound are diverse and intersect into this series, but the MC is a cisgender, heterosexual white woman.
Action: Marie's action scenes should be taught in UF writing classes. They're so vivid but not bogged down with description.

POV character:
Robin (1st person perspective)--Book smart, linguist, demonica class mage, who overthinks everything. She has big feels but holds them inside Stress baker. (Sidenote) A. M. needs to write a cookbook because the bribe cookies in this series sound so yummy.

Plot: Delivering Evil for Experts is the wrap up novel for the Guild Codex: Demonized series. Robin is searching for a way to send Zylas, the demon, home while at the same time secretly pining he'll stay. She grows a lot in this book and begins to open up. The story ties in with Guild Codex: Spellbound's eighth book Damned Souls and a Sangria.

Recommend? I highly recommend these books. Actually, everything written by Annette Marie. The only books by her I haven't read are her Red Winter novels.
