My Boss is the Devil
Ben Schenkman
Humorous Dark Suspense
Finding the balance between good and evil is about to require a lot of coffee.
What’s better than being a college dropout twenty-something working as a barista in New Haven, CT? Just about anything.
Nick would give anything to escape the dead-end life he’s made for himself. He gets the offer of a lifetime from Lucifer himself, to trade his apron for a suit. Should he really consider becoming an agent of the Devil? With the way things are going for Nick, of course he should.
Lucifer wants to give Nick a chance to do what he always wanted, to help people, wielding power and influence to make their dreams come true. He would have to sell his soul, but the Devil is a gambling man and lets Nick experience his new life before he has to sign on the dotted line. Can he use the Devil’s power for good, and make his mark on the world, or will he fall victim to his own desires and lose his humanity?
As if that wasn’t enough, the very friend that made the meeting with Lucifer possible turns on Nick, and he needs to do some quick thinking to come out on top. Maybe the ends justify the means, but there are no easy answers.
Uncaged Review: Nick is a college dropout, working as a barista in coffee shop. He always has aspired to help people, but on his salary he has what he needs, but not a lot more. When he meets Lucifer, his beliefs are thrown out the window, as Lucifer doesn’t seem to be what all traditions seem to call for. He offers Nick a job and tells him to give him a trial before he signs away his soul and free will to Lucifer’s care. Of course he believes everything is too good to be true, there has to be a catch, right?
I had no expectations going into this book, as I really didn’t know if it was going to be my cup of tea, or should I say coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised. The banter between Nick and Lucifer made me chuckle several times. There is a real serious storyline underneath all the humor, and it was a fun book to read. As this series progresses, I’m sure we will see many sides of Nick, Lucifer and Amy, but I have a feeling it will be a fun ride. Reviewed by Cyrene
