Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Hannah Reynolds!
Writes:
Award-winning romantic comedies, filled with banter, whimsy, and sweeping romance! I want to make you laugh, which is why A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DATING A DEMON has such a playful premise: What if you had unwanted suitors — and to get rid of them, you started saying you were already betrothed? To a demon, to make extra sure the guys would leave you alone. And what if doing so accidentally summoned a demon who insists you are betrothed? I hope you’ll laugh out loud through the whole book — while also getting swept up in the slow burn romance.
About:
I grew up in a small New England town, hanging out with friends and baking chocolate treats. I love croissants, staying warm, and meeting friends in local cafes. In high school, I worked as a Barnes and Noble bookseller, and in college, I studied creative writing and archaeology. I spent a year in Paris after graduation — influenced by my grandmother, who grew up there — and have been back in Boston for over a dozen years. A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DATING A DEMON is influenced by the landscape and winds of Provence, France.
I’m looking for readers who crave:
• Cozy fantasy and adventure — Why not both??
• Accidental betrothals
• Grumpy/sunshine romance
• Gorgeous fantasy world settings
• Whimsy and banter
• Strong friendships
• A touch of mystery
What to expect if we're compatible:
• A relatable, loyal heroine who studies hard, and an annoyingly charming hero — who just so happens to be a demon.
• Strong cozy vibes – you’ll get your croissants and hot cocoa here. (Plus blankets and candles and the occasional fancy outfit for a party).
• A setting where the winds are strong — and maybe dangerous…
• A chemistry-filled romance where sparks fly and the hero is head over heels for the heroine.
• Mysterious ancient scrolls written in a forgotten language, which might hold the key to saving the city.
• And a friend group that must save the day by working together and supporting each other!
A student finds herself accidentally betrothed to a demon—and investigating his connection to the magical irregularities plaguing her city—in this cozy, whimsical YA romantasy.
As a scholarship student at the magical Lyceum, Naomi would rather focus on deciphering ancient scrolls than dating. Especially since the only boys asking her out are less interested in a night in Naomi's company than an introduction to her influential aunt.
So Naomi devises an excuse to turn down her persistent suitors: She claims to be betrothed to a demon.
Her story works perfectly. Until she arrives home one night and finds the demon Daziel lounging in her rooms, insisting he's her betrothed. Naomi knows he’s lying—after all, the betrothal was never real—but the gorgeous and infuriating demon is surprisingly resistant to her banishing spells. And with his penchant for baking and home décor, it’s not so bad having him around.
Besides, she has other worries—like the ancient scroll she’s trying to translate, and the way the city’s magic has become suddenly unstable. But the more Naomi learns about the scroll, and the more she gets to know Daziel, the more it seems like she might be at the center of something bigger than she could have imagined.

Hannah Reynolds grew up outside of Boston, where she spent most of her childhood and teenage years recommending books to friends, working at a bookstore, and making chocolate desserts. She received her BA in Creative Writing and Archaeology from Ithaca College, which meant she never needed to stop telling romantic stories or playing in the dirt. After living in San Francisco, New York, and Paris, she came back to Massachusetts and now lives in Cambridge.
