Description
When Maxine is stood up at the courthouse to sign her divorce papers, she doesn’t realize the man she meets there will be the only one who can protect her from what’s to come. Her work as a relationship therapist for inter-species couples will make her the accidental guardian of a draconic egg, and trying to save its innocent shell will embroil her in a secret anti-human society’s conspiracy.
Maxine only wants to help. That vampire/human couple that got their romantic beginning through stalking and codependency? That werewolf/human couple who can’t figure out how to make things work in the bedroom? Maxine is there to coach healthy communication based on mutual respect. It’s never over-easy; relationships take work.
But desperate to prove her worth after being divorced by a celestial, Maxine will happily paint targets on her own back if it will protect the egg. Scrambling to save her from herself, will her reluctant bodyguard convince Maxine that her own life is valuable? Will the anti-human cabal succeed in their sinister plans?
A Paranormal Therapist’s Guide to Divorce is a laugh-out-loud urban fantasy adventure with action, romance, and a lot of egg puns.

★★★★★
This was my very first fantasy/paranormal read, and honestly, I had such a fun time with it. A Paranormal Therapist’s Guide to Divorce and Falling in Love Again perfectly balanced supernatural chaos with real human emotions, healing, romance, and self-worth. I didn’t expect to get so attached to the characters, but Maxine’s journey completely pulled me in.
The whole concept was so unique and surprisingly “eggcellent” — yes, I had to use the pun because the draconic egg storyline made this book stand out in the best way possible. Between magical creatures, danger, humor, emotional moments, and romance, there was always something happening that kept me entertained.
I especially loved that even with all the fantasy elements, the relationships and emotions still felt relatable and genuine. Maxine trying to rebuild herself after heartbreak while getting thrown into a supernatural conspiracy made for such an addictive and fun read.
If you enjoy paranormal romance with humor, action, lovable characters, and a magical twist, definitely give this one a try. Such a charming and entertaining read, and now I want to explore more fantasy books! ✨🥚📚
Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.
Oh my, I adored this book. The humor and sassy vibes had me kicking my feet and giggling.
Samzen is definitely my favorite character. He is all sass and attitude with a splash of sarcasm. I found myself laughing out loud to certain things he would say.
And Tom, you tall glass of water you. The over protective burn the world down for her personality? I am all HERE for it.
The plot was fast paced, full of action, and kept me interested.
I did sort of guess one of the twists early on, but the way she worked that twist into the story more than made up for it.
Im rating this book 5 stars because I had a fantastic time reading it. I will definitely be recommending it to some of my fellow readers that love a sassy, comedic, fast paced novel.
My rating- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The premise of this book honestly sounded right up my alley. A relationship therapist for inter-species couples accidentally becoming the guardian of a dragon egg while dealing with her own divorce felt like the perfect setup for something funny, heartfelt, and a little chaotic in the best way.
There’s definitely an audience for this book, and I can see why some readers will really connect with it. For me personally, the social and political themes came through more heavily than I expected, and it kept pulling me out of the story instead of letting me fully disappear into the world. I tend to read fantasy as a way to step away from real-world discourse for a while, so that aspect didn’t fully work for me.
That said, the writing itself is thoughtful, emotionally aware, and very intentional about what it wants to say. If you enjoy fantasy that directly engages with current social themes, there’s a good chance this will land much better for you than it did for me.

What an excellent book!
You have shifters, vampires, dragon/lizard-like creatures, celestial beings, incubi, oh, and humans!
This book is above the normal love story, above the usual crime story, above the ordinary.
I won't give spoilers, but suffice to say, you will need to give it a read. It is worth it, I promise you!
I had SO much fun reading this. The humor was sharp, the paranormal chaos was entertaining, and somehow underneath all the supernatural drama was a genuinely sweet and heartfelt story about healing, love, and starting over again.
The characters absolutely made this book for me. Every single one of them felt lovable, messy, and hilarious in their own way. I got way too attached to them way too quickly, and honestly, I would happily read ten more books just to keep hanging out with them. The banter alone had me laughing out loud more than once.
And the story itself? Completely addictive. It had the perfect mix of funny, quirky, emotional, and paranormal weirdness. One minute I was cracking up, the next I was rooting so hard for these characters to figure their lives out and find happiness again. It’s rare for a book to balance comedy and heart this well, but this one nailed it.
This was charming, witty, chaotic in the best way, and just an overall great time. If paranormal rom-coms with lovable characters and ridiculous supernatural situations are your thing, pick this up immediately.
