The Damned Busters by Matthew Hughes
5.0
Chesney is a somewhat awkward guy who inadvertently summoned a demon while attempting to not swear. Since he didn't want the demon around, he sent it back to Hell without signing off his soul. This caused a major shift in Hell, and the demons went on strike, disrupting the entirety of the world at large, since there was no longer a temptation of sin. Chensey works out a deal with Hell where he gets his own demon at his beck and call, and he becomes The Actuary, fighting crime and doing good with the powers of evil behind him.
A nutty premise, yes. Works wonderfully, though - the book doesn't take itself terribly seriously, and to its credit. It's fairly silly, but a lot of fun across the board. Definitely worth the time.
