I think I'm in love with a demon.
Bartholomew is a demon. He got caught trying to upstage Lucifer and has been spending some time in the seventh level of hell. He gets rescued out of it by a wanna be archangel named Samantha.
Bart so would be played by this guy if I ruled the world. Oh right, I do rule the world *in my head* so here goes.
Samantha and Bart get help from a Templar's son named Josh. Who wants nothing more than to kill Bart to avenge his dad's death. Bart could care less.
They need to find the Shard of Gabriel to keep the real baddies from getting it. You have succabuses, Nicholas the son of Lucifer, ole Lucifer himself and even a pimpubus trying to get the all powerful shard. Bart just wants to bang some hot chicks, stay out of the Ninth level of hell (where he would have to hear Hitler gabbing away) and smoke.
This book is the one you want to pick up when your day is bad and you just need to giggle. Which Bart is a frigging hottie too. Bonus points for that. I mean he does end up with 2 destoyed babies aka Mercedes.
I totally want to fangirl for this book and I do want more of this character! [a:Ryan Hill|5804086|Ryan Hill|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1333315016p2/5804086.jpg] You need to get to work! :)
Edited to add:The author just told me that this is who he had in mind for Bart's character.
Holy heck yes...and I didn't think it could get any better.
I did recieve an ARC of this book from Curiosity Quills in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much for it's awesomeness!

Bartholomew is a demon from the seventh circle of Hell. When he’s brought back to Earth in a human body, he’s not sure why. When he’s contacted by Samantha, an angel-in-training, he’s tasked with a mission to find Gabriel’s shard before anyone else. The resulting adventure takes Bartholomew and Sam to high school where they must play as undercover teenagers. Turns out high school is hell after all.
This book…there are so many awesome things to say that I’m not sure where to begin.
Bartholomew (don’t call him Bart!) was definitely a character. He had such a big personality, it could hardly be contained. He was snarky, a jerk at points, but he was loyal and confident. More than once I laughed out loud at the things he did or said or thought. He is definitely one of my favorite fictional characters I’ve come across in any book this year.
His counterpart, Samantha, was just as interesting. As an angel in training, the banter between her and Bartholomew was just priceless.
I would love to see more of these two. Even though this audiobook is over ten hours long, I finished the book wanting more. This is one of the best paranormal books I’ve read in a while and the author is definitely a new favorite.
The narrator made Bartholomew’s snarky attitude pop even more, and I loved it.

This book is hilarious. I don't think I have ever read a book where so many random things happen so often and so suddenly that its mind boggling, yet you will not feel disconnected. Everything connects and flows to well... Ok wait, let me take a breath! Wow! What did just happen?? ;) In short its amazing.
An archangel and a demon teamed up to find someone who has been after that Shard of Gabrielle. The only trouble is that no one has a clue about this mysterious person. Who will stop at nothing to get the Shard. Along the way a demon hunter, Josh, joins their little group. If he could keep himself from trying to kill Bartholomew then may be they will succeed in their quest (three can be a crowd). Together they faced a number of enemies and finally the dark shadow of death itself.
I loved the character of demon (Bartholomew). He becomes a demon after he tried and failed to take over the world and now he has to work with an archangel, Sam, who doesn't know how to have a little fun. But that did not stop him from stirring up trouble whenever possible.
All the side characters were great too and Lucifer himself makes an appearance... This is one book you do not want to miss, so if you haven't read it go read it now.
P.S. The language in this book can be crude so it's not for people who get offended easily.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I'll be honest, I got halfway through this book and stopped reading it for a while. Not because it wasn't good, because holy crap balls this book is hilarious. It's also well written and I loved the characters. Even Bartholomew. I had some things occur, and I put it on hold. I didn't want that to affect my view, so I put it off.
Finally, I decided to suck it up and finish it. I started the book over. ...I can't believe I ever put it down in the first place.
This book is freaking hilarious. I was SNORTING in public. At one point there was Dr Pepper coming out of my nose.
There's also a ton of action and a good deal of drama. One thing to note is that it's definately more of a mature YA read.
Absolutely loved the ending. It was perfect and fantastic. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
I suggest you pick this one up immediately and read it, because it was freaking ... gah! I highlighted so many parts!

Hilarious, original, and a Hell of a good time! Fair warning: when I say “hilarious”, it’s Deadpool humor and I know a lot of people who will cringe. I loved every second of it.
