An enemies to lovers romance book like none I have read before!

I absolutely devoured this novel, enjoying a fresh take on a subject matter that usually I'd expect to find in the dark romance category. Surprisingly heartwarming and hopeful, A Match Made in Hell is a book I'll be recommending for a long time coming!

The trials were great, and the slow burn was torturous between Sath and Willow, exactly how I like it!

I loved the fact that this book had twists and turns that are uncommon for a romance that absolutely had my jaw hitting the floor. I can't wait to see what this author brings in the future.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book via Netgalley.

A unique story pulling on well know elements. The devil and the deadly sins make for a great combination when mixed with a ‘will they/won’t they’ romance. Loveable characters that you root for from the start made it a book I didn’t want to put down from the moment I picked it up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The banter and the sass I really enjoyed! This started out really fun but unfortunately missed the mark a little bit for me, and I just didn’t find the trials interesting enough to want to read on. Maybe I’m in a bit of a slump but it just wasn’t it for me but I know there will be people who will love it!

Honestly, I struggled to get through this without dnf'ing it . The main character kinda got on my nerves and the writing was simple. I was hoping for more spice, but it just didn't deliver. That being said, I'm sure plenty of people will love it, but it just wasn't my cuppa tea.
Thanks to Netgalley for this arc.

An easy read. There were times where this felt a little YA, but there were also adult elements with regards to the spice and darkness. It was clever and funny and I’d recommend as a good palette cleanser

4 stars

Not bad, a new author to me. I got the impression it was prossibly for young Adults.

Although our heroine, Wilow, felt duped it was fairly obvious that Sath had an agenda and who the main villian was amongst the demons.
I enjoyed the story though it was a bit gory.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This was original and a very fun read. Moments of slight horror going on and I’m not entirely sure who it was aimed at as it had a young adult feel but also some more adult themes. I’m sure young adults would cope fine with these themes and a more mature audience will enjoy if they’re not adverse to a bit of fun.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Starts of really funny and I loved getting to know Sath and Willow but as I got more into the book the themes were very mature. I loved finding out what is really bothering Willow and how its about not being perfect but knowing someone has tried to be their best selfs.

The 7 trials was genius and the dash of suspene really sold it to me.

It was dark and witty and fast paced!

Loved it!

3.25 ⭐ thanks to Bonnier Books UK & NetGalley for the eARC. This was an easy read although I couldn’t love the premise? I felt that the reason for Willow being in Asphodel in the first place was quite weak and the fact that she constantly felt like she had to redeem herself for it felt repetitive. I also found that the ‘tasks’ she did to overcome or resist sin were not difficult and so this element also felt a little flat.

However, that being said, I liked Sath as a character, and felt that his internal struggle was prominent throughout and although the reader could sense that something was amiss, it was kept well hidden what his true intentions were. I liked how their relationship was together and this gave cosy fantasy vibes. Also, the found family element in Harper & co also was a good addition to the plot that enabled Willow the power to become a protector rather than someone who needs protecting.

A fun and spicy read. I mainly requested this for the cover I won’t lie with how pretty the art is but it was a great book. Willow who is the FMC was amazing and she had me hooked from the start with her sass and humour. It had darkness, brooding and spice. I couldn’t get enough. I would definitely recommend this and it only took me two sittings to finish.

A Match Made in Hell, by Charlotte Ingham, is a brilliant romantasy, that is a whole lot of fun.

At twenty-one, Willow was supposed to be turning into a responsible adult, not proving her mother right when she called her a failure. Now, thanks to one tiny (if fatal) mishap, she's landed in a dimension named Asphodel that looks suspiciously like hell.
Determined to redeem herself, Willow makes a deal with Asphodel's ruler, King Sathanas: complete seven tasks, resist the seven sins, and he'll let her return to her human existence. But when Sath is sin itself, temptation may be hard to resist ...

I really enjoyed this one and Ingham’s take on the classical deal with the devil. I equally loved the setting, Asphodel was really well developed and I enjoyed seeing all the different parts that could be discovered. Its unstable nature worked extremely well in adding serious tension to the story!

I really liked both Willow and Sath and was rooting for them throughout. I really felt for Willow, she had been made to be someone else by everyone who was supposed to care for her and was so lost, and indeed self destructive, at the time of her death. Without giving anything away I enjoyed seeing her journey through the trials and how she was able to be truly herself in Asphodel. Sath meanwhile made for a great MMC, a little broody and scary at first but a whole lot more gentle and indeed fragile the more you get to know him.

This was a wild ride and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll look forward to whatever Ingham writes next.

Hell is kind of a fun place actually
*if you ignore the demons trying to take over

This book takes the classic deal-with-the-devil story and gives it a fresh, sinful twist that's not just clever but downright funny too. Filled with smart, fast-paced dialogue with bite, this banter is deliciously devilish.

I really enjoyed the slow-burn romance between Willow and Sath. Their initial annoyance with each other turns into something much deeper, and that burn was well worth the wait. Willow is such a fantastic main character. She's bold and a bit sassy, which made her journey of self-discovery all the more engaging. And Sath? He's exactly the kind of devilishly charming character you want in, well, the devil.

If you’re into stories with that grumpy/sunshine dynamic and quick, witty banter, then this book is definitely for you. Willow’s exploration of sin and second chances added a nice layer of depth to her character, making her journey all the more captivating.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique, mix of humour, heart and that sprinkle of romantasy spice!

I thought this was a lot of fun, a sort of contemporary twist on the romantasy you love. Willow and Sath had incredible chemistry and their relationship was so well handled. I loved that Willow had such a rich and complex backstory and the arc of her coming to understand herself and her past paid off brilliantly at the end. I’d love to read another book set in this world so we get more of an opportunity to see the Asphodel they created, plus Willow’s badass powers! A great read for fans of Kerri Maniscalco or Kaylie Smith

A fun and spicy read, Willow is a great MFC who draws you in immediately with her sassy humour. Sath is dark and brooding, everything we like in a devil-ish MMC. Reminded me of Kingdom of the Wicked, dark and spicy!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for approving me to read this, I’m rating it 3.5-3.75 stars.

I adored the cover and the premise, and this is what drew me in to read the book. This is unique and fun, with a lighter story than I was expecting. It explores sin and second chances in a new way. Considering the gravity of what is being asked of our FMC during her ordeal I do think things were a bit too easy at points and this felt like a bit of a let down. I do think the story takes a wild turn at one point in the book though and the stakes become so much more serious and real, and this is what had me re-engaged with the book. The vibes are good and for a fun standalone with some romance and decent tension it really does the job.

Picked this one up for its gorgeous cover.
21-year-old Willow has made some bad
decisions lately. And her most recent has
left her, er, in Hell (sort of). To return to
life, King Sath of Hell tells Willow she must successfully complete seven tasks, based on the seven deadly sins...

This book was fun - good for fans of Lucifer, Buffy, Charmed. One of the 🌶 scenes was seriously steamy... I thought the ending was great; less sure about the middle. Sidekick was great fun, and I liked the touch about matching hair dye to the scenery. Willow is a flawed heroine, but she’s young and she’s learning. The portrayal of her toxic friendship with Sasha felt very authentic, not over the top, and isn’t something I’ve seen done so well in other books. I saw another review which didn’t like King Sath’s emotional side… girl what?! #LetMenCry We’re all better off for it!

This was a light hearted, easy read. Fun with a FMC that's easy to get behind and root for!

The slow burn was worth the wait. If you enjoy romantasy with grumpy/sunshine vibes & quick banter this one's for you!

Firstly, thank you to NetGalley for an e-arc of this book. All opinions will be my own

21 year old Willow finds herself dead in Asphodel, the in-between of Tatarus and Elysium, and immediately decides that she is not sticking around.
The Devil "Sath" presents her with 7 challenges representing the 7 deadly sins. If she passes, Willow can return to Earth, if not, she's stuck in Asphodel for good.

This was a fun, New Adult, Romantasy with a slow burn worth waiting for. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Willow and Sath, along with the platonic relationships she forms along the way. The humour was so good, especially between Willie and Sath. I was rooting for them very early on.
I also enjoyed how flawed Willow was, making her a multi dimensional character.
One thing I wish was that there was more depth to Sath and his backstory, but overall it was a fun read with an interesting magical system and twists I did not expect.

This was a silly fun romance and I had a great time reading it. The FMC was likeable and I was rooting for her. A fun mix of genres - romance/fantasy/paranormal

3.5 ⭐️

This was a fun and easy read, with an interesting take on the afterlife. Willow is a 21 year old who finds herself dead and stuck in the in between, Asphodel. Where she agrees to face a series of challenges, each one related to a different deadly sin, to win the chance of getting free and back to Earth.

The writing style flowed well and was easy to read and I enjoyed the feistiness of Willow as a FMC. I wish there was more of a build up in Willow and Sath’s relationship, as it all seemed rushed towards the end. I enjoyed the premise of the trials but again felt like these could be dramatic and difficult.

Overall, I did like the book, I just felt parts of the story could have been developed more.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC, all views are my own.
