What the fuck I just read.........................
I mean its the gayest shit I've ever read and very offensive ( to many (or to some)) but it's outright hilarious. T.J. Klune needs to write a follow up series of 10 books for Jimmy's Misadventures with Satan because he is absolutely precious and We (I'm not alone right?) need so much more of him.

Jimmy is definitely all over the place, but the story is not only quite humorous, but also pretty elaborate in the world-building for such a short story.

Lmao I love TJ Klune so much.
Full of dark and/or crude humor and a shockingly large amount of heart. A thoroughly fun read.

4.5⭐️ What in the world did I just read?? This was hilarious and weirdly really adorable. Tj could write any kind of characters and I would still end up falling for them. Great quick read filled with pure fun!

Important note: If you are extremely religious or find religious satire offensive, this is NOT the book for you!

If you've read some of TJ's other work, specifically the Tales of Verania series, you'll be very familiar with the authors' brand of satirical, twisted humour. If you haven't, think like a really vulgar (but in the best way) Terry Pratchett but with waaay more sex, swearing and generally outrageous behaviour involved.

Blasphemy! was a really short read (around 20,000 words) and is a tale about the lord of the underworld and his growing loneliness. Throw in some help from his (and I quote) "brother-dad" God who's incredibly interfering, and a very naive young human who falls head over horns in love and you have a classic, hysterically funny TJ Klune story that will keep you laughing out loud from start to finish.

"And while Satan had never been too fond of labels, he sometimes wondered if he was a bear now, like the type who could be called Daddy."

Featuring appearances from a Demon named Derek, a man named Carl, and a very teenage Jesus Christ this story is pretty much un-quotable but I did manage to find this little snippet to give you a taste of what's in store:

"Jesus! Jesus Christ, you better not be making a mess in the kitchen. We just had it cleaned!"

A surly response came crackling through the monitor. "I'm not! And don't tell me what to do! You're not even my real dad. Joseph is! When he and Mom get back from their vacation, I'm going to tell them you never let me do anything."


As I said above, this book is really not intended for anyone who's highly religious or easily offended, but if that's not you, and you're looking for a quick-paced read that promises some heavy belly laughs, go and grab this book!

Enjoy 🤣 and once you read it, feel free to leave your comments below!

Cosa accade quando Satana è insoddisfatto della sua vita?
Semplice: torna alle origini, risponde personalmente ad un invocazione e reclama l’anima di un uomo. Solo che le cose non vanno proprio come previsto e forse non è il diavolo a tenere le redini del gioco.

Sarà che io ormai mi fido ciecamente di TJ e quindi quello che scrive per me è sempre una garanzia, ma mi sono divertita tantissimo!
