Sympathy for the Devil Lisle, Holly
Baen 1995 0671877038 / 9780671877033 Paperback Very Good
"Dayne Kuttner has made a challenge to God that the deity cannot refuse. To give the damned souls of Hell another chance to repent. The ineffable deity has responded to Dayne's challenge in an unexpected way releasing several thousand Hellspawn into the State of North Carolina. And while heaven may be offering them a chance to repent, Hell has other plans. They are to tempt more souls into hell, starting with the soul of Dayne. Holly Lisle delivers a book that is full of fun and hilarity, and some food for thought as well as she takes a look at the institutions of heaven and hell and the world of humanity in between. As with most of Holly Lisle's writing, there's a good dollop of humor in this story, keeping it from becoming darkly serious and overdramatic. This allows the story to be thoughtful without becoming overly preachy. Our heroine Dayne is delightfully tough and intelligent, a strong adversary for the fallen angel Agonostis. And while most of the devils and demons remain more comical than outright darkly evil, and some even downright likable, the characterization feels appropriate to the tone of the story. Despite the humor, there are moments of true poignancy and epiphany that keep this story from being merely fluff. It's the reason I keep re-reading this book even though it's beginning to fall apart on me and I'll need a new copy soon. While the look at religion is not necessarily the traditional one (Holly Lisle plays fast and loose with some of the conventions) there are still profound messages that Ms. Lisle conveys about the essence of faith, the nature of good and evil, how Heaven can exist if there is a hell, and what does it truly mean to be a human being." ...an amzon review; 256 pages

The Devil and Dan Cooley Lisle, Holly & Walter Spence
Baen 1996 0671877569 / 9780671877569 Paperback Very Good
"I recently read the Hell books by Holly Lisle (or at least the first three). The books are concerned with the presence of the hellraised on Earth and the interplay between Heaven and Hell. In THE DEVIL AND DAN COOLEY, North Carolina is still home to the hellraised. Radio DJ Dan Cooley begins a program to help the hellraised redeem themselves. Meanwhile the Devil has assigned a new head to the Earthside operations. As the hellraised get closer to arranging to run a theme park Hell's hidden agenda works its way into the North Carolina residents. Another fine entry in the series with some very unforseen plot-twists at the end where we find out what has really been going on." ...an Amazon review; 256 pages
