A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)
Mikki Roule
by Alexandria Bellefleur
Samantha Cooper is having the worst day of her life. After a disastrous breakup leaves her homeless and heartbroken, she finds herself trapped in an elevator with a stunning, pink-clad stranger who claims to be a demon. Daphne is witty, charming, and offers a tempting supernatural deal: six wishes in exchange for Samantha’s soul. Armed with a clever legal loophole, Samantha agrees, convinced she can reclaim her ex-girlfriend without paying the ultimate price.
This bewitching paranormal romance plays with the classic "monkey's paw" trope, turning every wish into a chaotic chess match. As Samantha chases her past, she finds herself drawn into an unexpected game of wits with the very entity sent to collect her. What begins as a desperate bid for a second chance quickly evolves into a high-stakes exploration of desire and identity, proving that sometimes the person you need most is the devil you already know.
Alexandria Bellefleur delivers a bedazzling sapphic romance that crackles with sharp banter and hell-realm magic. While the chemistry between the leads sparks fast, the emotional depth of their connection ensures this story lingers long after the final wish is granted. Perfect for readers who love their love stories with a dash of supernatural mischief and a lot of heart.

a bedazzling tale, fun and well written. A bit of a chess match between the main characters as they find their true selves. )

I absolutely loved this story. I only wish they took a little bit more time falling for each other. And I wish the book was longer, but I enjoyed every minute. )

Who hasn't seen \"Bedazzled\" starring Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser, or of course, the monkey's paw? The scenarios lovesick, dumped Samantha Cooper wishes for are delightfully, but unsurprisingly, twisted by demon Daphne. After six used wishes, Sam's soul is Daphne's. It's no surprise that the majority of Sam's wishes center around her ex-girlfriend and wanting to find a way to get back together - WITHOUT taking away Hannah's free will. I.e., no wishing Hannah would fall madly in love...

I must admit that Sam started annoying me around half way through. I almost gave up on the story. But a bit later it became unputdownable. Love Daphne. Eventually loved Sam. This was a clever story that I enjoyed a lot. ) One person found this helpful

Annabelle Bellefleur does it again. I fell in love with her romance novels since Written in the Stars. Her ability to create characters that jump off the page keeps you hooked. This story took a slightly different avenue. The romance is still there but with some supernatural elements that made it a sinfully delicious read. I will admit, I wasn’t as thrilled with the main character Sam at points. I won’t say too much without giving it away, but there were some times where I wanted to shake her....
