A teenager reluctantly takes the reins of Hell to impose order and protect the living.
After being murdered, young Jason Giles arrives in Hell and is tricked into taking over the devil's job. With the help of his predecessor's aide, he begins to learn the ropes of ruling Hell in order to defend himself from many mutinous demons and to keep the denizens of the infernal pit from escaping into the realm of the living.
Full of awkward heroes, wisecracking villains, and one boy's culture shock as he is thrust into an absurd underworld buckling beneath the weight of its own bureaucracy, The New Devil is the first volume of an ongoing series that will soon see the release of its seventh installment.
Fiendishly entertaining, devilishly clever!
I must say that of everything I've read of Alex's work thus far, The New Devil series is definitely my favorite. They are all fast, easy, wildly entertaining reads that have plenty of wit and action and pull no punches. The characters are instantly memorable, and even the worst of them are not without their charm. The writing also seems much more fast-paced and sharper than in some of his other works. That is not to say planning is not essential when writing a book or series, but from what I gather, this began as an exercise in seat-of-your-pants style writing, and I think that's an approach that seems to work best, especially for a series like this.
As an avid reader, I would suggest purchasing them all in one go. I couldn't stop reading these on my work breaks. There are plenty of twists and crazy occurrences to keep you going, and once each short segment is over, you'll be dying to know what happens next. I strongly recommend this series!
