Hell needs a new Devil. The universe chose the sweetest kid alive.

Philip is polite, honest, and kind—and absolutely the last person who should inherit the throne of Hell. But when a cosmic mistake sends him tumbling into the underworld, the dying Lucifer has no choice but to teach this painfully good-natured boy the art of wickedness.

Philip is terrible at being bad, but everything changes when he meets Satina, a clever and captivating she-devil who awakens feelings he never knew he carried. As he navigates the eerie, unpredictable underworld, Philip encounters both friends and foes—but who can he trust when he uncovers a conspiracy aimed at the dark throne?

My Opinion

The Devil’s Apprentice by Kenneth B. Andersen is a witty and adventurous tale about an unexpected friendship between a boy and the Devil. With a refreshingly unusual premise, the story transports readers deep into the structured and surprisingly fascinating world of Hell. The descriptions are richly atmospheric, making it feel as though you are experiencing the fiery underworld firsthand. Yet, despite the setting, the characters are far from terrifying; instead, they come across as layered, humorous, and oddly endearing. The novel balances mischief with warmth, offering a fun, imaginative read that humanizes the Devil in an unexpectedly charming way. The book is a 5 part series and thanks to the author for providing me an opportunity to read the book.
