Welcome to Hell....aciously Funny Books!

Okay, so not too long ago, I posted in Kathleen's Blossom Cafe group on Facebook (If you read Kathleen Brooks, it's a great place to be.  If you're wondering who Kathleen Brooks is, let me first point you here, to my Web of Lies post from last month, and know that the Bluegrass books are coming up on Thanksgiving.  They're such great books in a great town that Thanksgiving felt right, okay?) that I was looking for some new books for my blog that were free or on Kindle Unlimited.  And my peeps in the Cafe came through and I have some great books to read!  Anyway, I forget who it was now, and I don't want to go uncover the whole post, but someone suggested Eve Langlais' Welcome to Hell series.  Well, actually, she just suggested book one, A Demon and His Witch, but I fell in love with the series and I'm now on book five.  Of seven.  Oops?  I didn't need to eat this week, right?

Anyway!  So these books are set in Hell, but hell is very similar to a modern day city.  Lucifer is gearing up for a golf match against his brother and some other gods, but he's also got a plan to rebuild his armies by doing a little matchmaking.  He's actually really good at it, pairing people who seem like they wouldn't get along at all but who are perfect for each other.

Like, for instance, Ysabel and Remy in A Demon and His Witch.  Ysabel is a Spanish witch who sold her soul to Satan for revenge when the mother of her lover convinces her town to burn her alive.  Going off some estimates, I'd guess Ysabel is about five to six hundred years old.  Remy is half demon, half human and he sleeps around.  (His mom is also slightly crazy and funny as Hell.  Pun intended.)  When the five people Ysabel took her revenge against escape from prison, she's destined to burn every day, reliving her death, until they are caught.  Really not a lot of fun for Ysabel.  So Lucifer pairs her up with Remy, who has tracking skills, to hunt down the escapees.  Ysabel and Remy don't get along at first.  Ysabel wants nothing to do with men, but Remy does find Ysabel attractive.  It takes a lot for Ysabel to trust him.

I don't want to overload this particular blog post, because I've written some long ones the last few days.  I think if you read Ysabel and Remy's story, you'll fall in love with it as much as I did.  It's hilarious.  The next book is A Demon and His Psycho, so it only gets funnier from there.

OH, and did I mention Lucifer is dating Mother Earth?

Cheers!

Fourth grade is a school year that is burned into my mind.  That September, when we had been in school for less than a month, was the attack...
