Book Review: The Demon's Bargain by Katee Robert
Lenora made a mistake. She trusted the wrong man, and in a moment of weakness, he stole a family heirloom from her. Her only chance to get it back will be during Samhain, when the Shadow Market opens and magical folk gather for three days to celebrate, and unfortunately she can’t do it alone. She needs a demon.
Ramanu’s entire existence is making bargains. They’re a bargainer demon, after all. They’ve had their eye on Lenora for some time now, so they’re pleased when she summons them to help with her little thief problem…especially because it means spending time in close proximity with her.
Lenora thought she could get away with a bargain that didn’t require seven years of service, but when Ramanu informs her those are the terms, she decides to go it alone…even though the demon wants to tag along to the market. But as the clock ticks down and all Lenora’s attempts to reclaim her amulet fail, making a deal with Ramanu might be the only option she has…
And they might take her heart right along with her soul.

My Review:
The Demon’s Bargain is the fifth book in the Deal with a Demon series. I actually skipped the fourth book because I was more curious about Ramanu. I really enjoyed this book—Ramanu is definitely an interesting character, and I found Lenora to be a fantastic counterpart. She is a strong witch, confident in herself, and was attracted to Ramanu from the very beginning. I loved their relationship and knew that Ramanu was going to fall hard for her.
This book is also part of another series, Peculiar Tastes, which added another layer of intrigue. There were several new characters I wasn’t familiar with, which expanded the story’s universe and made it even more engaging. The crossover aspect helped deepen the world-building and provided more context for the events happening around Ramanu and Lenora.
I read this book quickly because it was such an engaging story. The pacing kept me hooked, and the dynamic between the protagonists made it even more enjoyable. Overall, The Demon’s Bargain was a compelling read. It stands out in the series as a story of strength, power, and undeniable attraction.
Rating: 4/5 Stars
