Satan's Historian

by Carmen Kern

What if you call for Death but the Devil shows up instead?Life sucks, and then you die, at least you try to. Or, if you’re James Rucker, Lucifer, aka The Devil, shows up at your door instead of Death, job offer in hand. An offer Rucker can’t refuse. Not if he wants his family safe and fully souled.

Rucker is sentenced to hell, writing Lucifer’s memoir. The hours are brutal. His demonic colleagues are lousy conversationalists, and the health benefits are still up in the air.

But after his first live showing of the fall of Lucifer Morningstar and the sins of the Garden, he discovers there is more to history than what he’d learned in university, and his own past isn’t what he thought it was.

The bets are on the table as heaven and hell roll the dice for Rucker's future.

I saw this novella as an easy way to try something out of my norm. After all, that's what reading is supposed to do - introduce us to new worlds and experiences, safely closeable in our hands. A new world is exactly where the author takes us! The characters are gritty, the settings are uncomfortable with touches of familiarity. The relationships come through with truth and tension. The dialogue is raw and dished out to keep us hungry. So, while this is not my usual genre -the author took me there, and I liked it and I'll visit the worlds she creates again!

Loved this story, particularly how the author built it on the idea of someone selling their soul, and then made it so unique by making the most flawed "person" imaginable somehow relatable. Fantastic little twist at the end - no spoiler - can't wait for the next installment.

Nope

Nope I don't recommend reading the second half of this book 01 of this tale; first part held my interest actually wanted to read more...then it went into pages of blah, blah, blah fairy tale land. I liked the concept its just the story seemed to go off the train rails. Perhaps the rest of the books in the series have something offer I just don't see it here. I'm disappointed cause the first half actually held promise to be worth reading.

An expertly written novella that compels the reader to think and marvel. Highly recommended.

A pleasant surprise of a short. I only wish it had been longer so I could get to know the characters more. Needless to say, I'll be checking out The Watcher and, most likely, any further works coming from Carmen Kern.
