J continues to write stories that sing straight to my soul.
Thank you, J. Morgyn White and NetGalley for an eARC.
J is a master of writing fast-paced stories that only span a few days but will live rent-free in your head for so much longer after you finish reading. She also knows how to write characters you can't help but feel passionate about. Every part of FMC Sorrel's Scooby-gang is lovable in their own unique way. Even though they are very well fleshed out with some backstory and how they came to be a part of Sorrel's orbit, I still craved to know more about them. I will take side stories, spin-offs, bonus chapters, really anything; just feed it to me. Sorrel herself was very relatable with her I can teach myself anything attitude and immense love and respect for the plant world. From the very early chapters of this book, I knew it would be a read I absolutely loved. The further I read, the more I knew I was right.
I'm going to be honest, I wasn't sure if I was going to be a Ranth fan. Not really my type at the start but he grew on me like infectious mold until I couldn't breathe without him. His heart is always in the right place, and he is very protective of Sorrel, even if she thinks she doesn't need it. I would read a whole series just about Ranth and his order that takes place in his original time. While I have never been to San Francisco, I feel like I now know which parts I would love to visit first that were mentioned in this book. That is something that I uniquely love about Urban Fantasy when the author obviously knows a lot about the setting they're writing about. You come away from the book feeling like you know things you may not have learned from usual tourist sites or guides about a real-life place you could one day visit.
This book was action and mystery packed right from the first chapter to the last, and my only issue is I wanted more. I didn't want it to end, and I wanted to know if it is connected to the other book in the Nightshade Hearts series, Too Cursed to Kiss . If you like the fast pace of Demons for Breakfast definitely check out Too Cursed to Kiss. If you loved Charmed, Buffy The Vampire Slayer or Shadowhunters, then definitely give Demons for Breakfast a read.

I’d seen him naked before but things were different now. He was so comfortable in his skin, I couldn’t help the desire rolling off me. So so sexy.
