Making Demons Bright

Holly Dell Demons

A Cozy Holiday Demon Romance

It’s up to a burned out project manager and a fire demon to save Christmas…

Bailey Pierce is on a desperately needed vacation, but Holly Dell isn’t the peaceful escape she planned. The charming mountain town she remembers is dwindling, and when she makes it safely through a blizzard, she finds a dying demon on her cabin floor.

Dreziel needs an anchor to survive in the human world after narrowly escaping his own, and Bailey arrives just in time for him to forge a magical bond between them. He just wasn’t prepared to be roped into a campaign to revive Holly Dell—or for Bailey to start trailing magical sparkles as a side effect of their bond.

Now they have no choice but to stick together as they drink hot cocoa, organize cookie festivals, and fight the dangerous demon that chased Dreziel there. Dreziel won’t put Bailey at more risk, no matter how drawn he is to her fiery spirit. But Bailey sees a chance for them even after the snow melts, and she’s not going to give him up without a fight.

Making Demons Bright is a grumpy meets grumpier spicy, cozy, small town holiday demon romance (with horns and ~tails~) in the Holly Dell Demons series set in the Diamond Universe. Each book is a complete story about a demon and a human who get magical snowed in with only one bed, mate bonds, and holiday cheer.

Ebook cover of The Quiet Light (Sage's Sanctuary Book 1) by Casey Blair, featuring dragon sleeping in front of cozy mountain cottage in shades of purple and teal.

Immortal dragons can’t mate with humans…
or can they?

500 years ago, Yora went into magical stasis to escape her violent life as the Sage of Wrath. Now she’s awoken because a hunted dragon shifter needs help, but the last thing she wants is to go back to war.

She’d much rather stay in her cottage with the dragon, Zan, and eat every kind of ice cream she can imagine. Even if she knows better than to give in to the rush she feels around him… Dragons can’t mate with humans, and soon Zan will have to leave again.

But the dragon’s flight has brought danger to Yora’s doorstep. Dark powers are desperate to claim her destructive powers for themselves, and they’ll stop at nothing to bring her under their control.

Yora knows how to use her wrath to destroy. But if she can harness that same magic to build instead, maybe she can protect her found family in Crystal Hollow—and find a way to stay with Zan for all of their days, too.

The Quiet Light is the first book of an ice cream-filled spicy cozy fantasy romance trilogy in the world of Sage’s Sanctuary, where the most powerful and vulnerable alike find refuge in an isolated mountain cottage with only one bed. Sage’s Sanctuary is full of dragon encounters, tender romance and hilarious banter, building community and having each other’s backs, and finding who you are and what you stand for.

Available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover!

Praise for A Coup of Tea

This book is like a warm hug! I loved it and couldn’t read it fast enough! There’s everything you could want from a fantasy – princesses, found family, a community in need, a love interest and witches to name a few! All of the characters are masterfully composed and fully formed, I felt like they always existed and were just waiting for me to arrive.

The message of the book is great as well – be yourself and take up space!

Dee Hancocks (Goodreads and NetGalley reviewer)

A Coup of Tea by Casey Blair is perfect for lovers of cozy fantasy looking for female centered stories with a unique perspective on magic and power.

Jenna Deaton (Goodreads reviewer)

WOW, this book is way more than a cup of tea! You start thinking it’s just the story of a runaway princess who needs to learn how to survive in the real world hidden from her family, but it’s only the surface of the book. You find a conspiracy, magic, injustice towards a nation that wants the same privilege as everyone, and a cute little love story…Recommend reading this book with a good cup of tea.

Sabrina (Goodreads reviewer)

An excellent, uplifting story full of enjoyment… I find it uplifting, amusing, and thought-provoking. I will be re-reading this many more times in the future, as I find more enjoyment every time I do. As I have been reading F&SF for over 50 years, this says a lot!

Pat DeLang (Amazon reviewer)

This book was like sipping a wonderful cup of tea. The world felt rich and the characters gave well-rounded flavor to the story. I can’t wait for the next book!

Morgan S (NetGalley reviewer)

Casey Blair is a new author for me but I’ll definitely check out any book that has her name on from now on, her writing and the flow of her story telling is beautiful….The characters we meet along this journey are fully fleshed out and I never questioned their responses and emotions to the situations they were placed in, the realness of the characters made me fall in love with Miyara’s community, this realness is also present in the world, environment and magic system which made it so easy to just become lost in the pages. …I cant wait to spend more time with Miyara and her world and will be recommending to all I know.
