Alana (jaggeddustjacket)'s Reviews > Tea with a Demon: A Cursed Candy Mysteries Short Story

Trixie together with her nearly 80 year old great-aunt Griselda, plans to update their encyclopedia of magical creatures called All things Magical and Bumpy Things in the Night. They seek out the creatures using Trixie's unique power of creature tracking. A power she hides from members of her family (except aunt Griselda) due to it being highly unusual.

First stop: A Cafe. Trixie's magical abilities lead her to a Cafe where she and her aunt encounters a demon who invites them to have tea with him. Described as being a rather handsome Demon with a semblance to Henry Cavill, Trixie is immediately smitten with him. Aunt Griselda makes no attempt to hide her flirtatious ways with the handsome Sylvester.

Sylvester agrees to provide them the information they seek, but asks for something in return from Trixie. As Sylvester begins to relay the information the duo realizes that they know much too little of demons, their characteristics and background.

Wanted to like this one because 'witches and demons' but they were too soft for my liking. And the back story of how demons can wander around in cafes doesn't sit right with me.
