Instalove but make it a Demon Romance ✨

They never expected the demon they sacrificed her to fall in love but that’s exactly what happens in the cozy dark romantasy That Time I Took Down A Cult by Rebel Carter

This one is for fans of BTVS, BG3, and Gravity Falls ✨

My name is Buffy Martinez and I’ve spent my entire life training to be a wife, but when a cult is the one leading me down the aisle there is no happily-ever-after waiting for me and I end up a virgin that can’t drive because my family totally sold me out to be a virgin sacrifice.

Jokes on everyone who thought they could lie to me because the god they tried to sacrifice me to just claimed me as his bride.

WRATH-not a god but a demon, and my devoted husband all the same.

Lucky me, he’s made it clear the only thing he cares to do is be a good husband, and what better way to prove his devotion than helping me teach an entire cult exactly what revenge looks like because there is no WRATH like a woman scorned.
