I wanted to finish this before the end of pride month but alas that didn’t happen.
This was cute but it wasn’t my favorite in the series. I liked having more plot focus and seeing Lenora/Ramanu finally after they had been teased for so many books but I wished it was longer, it felt a bit rushed.
Now that I’ve finished all the books in the series, I think it was a good one (though I’m gonna be honest, The Succubus’ Prize is still my favorite).

I thought the premise of this book was a lot of fun. We got a carnival that felt a little medieval with the ball and the fighting arena and it really made for a fun and interesting setting as it was mixed with modern technology. The execution on the other hand was a little bit of a miss for me. I think I would have liked it to be a bit longer, as there was some really interesting points that the book touched on but immediately had to move on and had no chance to explore.
In saying that I really liked the Lenora and Ramanu as well as some of the side characters that we got to meet. They all felt different from one another which made the world feel more lively.
I think this would be a great read for those who want a quick and short story that doesn't get too serious. It was a fun read and I would check out the Deal with a Demon series.

Lenora trusted the wrong man—in her moment of vulnerability, he betrayed her and stole a precious family heirloom. Desperate, she summons the bargainer demon Ramanu, only to learn that the demon’s terms are too steep. She could banish them, but having Ramanu as a backup plan is an urge she can’t ignore—the Shadow Market is a place as dangerous as it is tempting. They might think they know what awaits them, but they’ll both get more than they bargained for.
This was HOT. Lenora and Ramanu’s chemistry simply crackles from their first interaction, and the spicy scenes left me breathless. The diversity and representation is especially strong, with both MCs presenting as pansexual, in addition to other gender diverse and queer characters. Robert handles both sex and sexuality with incredible tact, bringing a surprising sweetness to such a tense and heated narrative. Although this is the shortest story of the series so far, both plot and character development are impressively thorough, and I felt a strong connection to both Lenora and Ramanu, along with being truly invested in their romance, despite the brevity of narrative time. This is definitely my favourite book within the series so far!
