A hunter bound to a demon god, what has Chester done? Now he's faking a relationship with Obie as they are forced to be around each other and finding out that maybe they don't really hate each other as they are expected to.
From the Take You Home blurb:
Ah, yes. The all-important sixth love language: vengeance.
Chester Locke, demon hunter, only wants one thing: to save his friends from the demons who manipulated them into leaving the safety of the Sanctum. To find them, he’ll have to use a binding spell to force one of the demons to give up their locations… and luckily for him, he knows exactly which demon—or demon god—to target.
Obadiah Smith, demon god, is livid that Chester deduced his real identity as Nostringvadha—and even more furious that Chester’s spell backfired, accidentally binding them together. Now, trapped within a twenty-foot radius of each other, they only agree on two things: they need to work together to break the spell, and no one else can know about it.
As Chester’s and Obie’s worlds intertwine, they slowly start to doubt everything they believed about their opposing sides—and realize they could potentially be each other’s greatest ally. But when their growing attraction clashes with their quest for vengeance, will they be separated for good or risk everything to come back to each other?

SNik's review:
Third in series (Redwater Demons). Paranormal fantasy. Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. Fake relationship. Found family. Hurt/comfort. Slow burn. Fade to black. Dual POV.
Chester may be an interrogator for demon hunters, but he just wants his friends back when he casts a binding spell that goes wrong against a demon god. Obie’s two best friends have found human partners that are former demon hunters to boot, but Obie is now stuck with his own hunter and slowly realizes that maybe that’s not a bad thing.
This is a long read and usually I start to skim at some point, but I didn’t because… Chester and Obie - I enjoyed every moment they were on page together. Their forced proximity allows them to learn about each other which is actually a lovely romance as both of them are likable with tragic backstories. Their loyalty and wonderful group of found family make everything less serious even though everyone is still trying to fight the big bad. I wonder if the author will ever find a way for these demons to keep their humans longer than just a normal human lifespan, that would be the cherry on top for this interesting group of couples in the series.
