Rule one: Don't look at the demon. When I arrived at my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me--outcast sorcerers who don't practice magic. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. Rule two: Don't listen to the demon. My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And I'm supposed to act like I don't know how illegal and dangerous it is. Rule three: Don't talk to the demon. All I had to do was keep my nose out of it. Pretend I didn't find the summoning circle in the basement. Pretend I didn't notice the shadowy being trapped inside it. Pretend I didn't break the rules. But I did, and now it's too late. -- From the author of Three Mages and a Margarita comes a new series that will plunge an unprepared young woman into the darkest magic of the mythic world.

"For the first time in awhile, I reeeeeelly wanted to stay up all night reading! I read the first of Guild Codex series a few years back and this companion series does not disappoint! Loads of action and sass and banter, three of my favorite things when starting any new literary adventure! Docked a half star because Robin made some very poor decisions that had very serious consequences, and Zylas is a liiiiittle too... something. Too good to be true maybe? Especially since he's a demon and - culturally - they are usually the opposite of "good". If a Mary Sue could be kinda evil and extremely terrifying, that would be a sort of kind of comparison for him i guess."

"Is amazingly easy to read and has well-written characters. Especially Zylas!!! Some words aren’t in english or any other language as its called ‘the demons language’, but you can search the name of the book and demon language and there will multiple sites that can help you! Like this one on google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1oVfTOTbOZpau2pN0ZReadFFAXiTJVdqMsG_AvmO83ok/htmlview?pli=1"

"I look forward to continuing the series!"

"This book contains just about every trope I love about demons. It's super indulgent if you like bad bargains, inhumans experiencing the modern world, and if-you-touch-her-ill-kill-you romance. I loved it."

Jaded Blade

"This girl doesn’t know what she’s getting into whenever she is forced to make a contract with a demon in order to save her life; however, this contract is an illegal and unstable one so it makes her life much more difficult when she is facing problems from the authorities and her new demon protector."

"A spin-off of the main series in the Guild Codex universe and first of 4 books. It can be enjoyed on its own, but does have some major spoilers for the Spellbound series later on. (And the ROMANCE yall)"
