A Mage's Guide to Human Familiars

A typical phone conversation:
Character 1: Hi, let's have a really weird and stilted conversation.
Character 2: I totally agree. I'm going to speak in Italics too, by the way. Because I'm not a protagonist, you know. As one does. And yeah, all of us talk like this. Pretty much like nobody does in real life. Lots of sentences, paragraphs even, your eyes will so glaze over.Parts of this book were seriously problematic. E.g Nico assuming the demon granddaddy would be okay with Bel being gay and poly because he's a demon. What in the fuck kind of association is that? Being gay and/or poly is demonic now? Oh come on, come on

Characters are one dimensional. I did not like any of them. The plot is subpar. The smut is subpar. I don't know why I didn't DNF this book. I pushed through, skipping large swathes of it with zero consequences (which should tell you a lot).
