A Cold Day in Hell

Circles in Hell, Book 2

De: Mark Cain

Narrado por: Michael Gilboe

"Madcap lunacy!"

Steve and Orson are back in this cracked sequel to Hell's Super, book two in the new satire and humor series, Circles in Hell. This time, the guys must fix Hell's heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, which has failed. Hell is getting progressively colder, and things are a lot more serious than devils and demons needing to put on some sweaters.

If you've ever used the expression, "It will be a cold day in Hell before...", then you know that there are metaphysical ramifications involved. The HVAC system must be fixed before all Hell freezes over, which is an even worse state than just a bit of frigid weather. Still, anything can happen on a cold day in Hell...even a paranormal comedy romance that becomes a whacky love triangle.

A Cold Day in Hell is the second volume in the fantasy comedy series, Circles in Hell. It has been compared to other works of paranormal humor and Hell fiction including The Screwtape Letters and Good Omens and to the writings of Tom Holt, Christopher Moore, and Douglas Adams.

Hell of a Story

I really enjoy getting to know characters in a book and see them again in the next read. seeyou next timen Steve Minion! Good job Mark Cain!

On par with the first book

What made the experience of listening to A Cold Day in Hell the most enjoyable?

It's an easy story to follow. Breaks up well into commuting or exercising times. Doesn't require any thought. Pure pulp.

Funny as hell!!

It will be a cold day in hell before this book gets any funnier... :)

Try this series, it's so worth it! :)

4.5 stars!
"It will be a cold day in hell when...."
This series is so much fun! The dialogue between characters is so witty. I love all the characters that have been introduced in both books so far. They are so interesting, and each one is different enough that you don't confuse any of them. I've listened to the audiobooks of both books, and the narrator is absolutely perfect! I don't think there could be anyone better than him for these books, and I hope he continues with the rest of the series. This story was so original, and even mysterious. I have definitely never read anything about hell going cold before! I'm loving this series, and I am excited to see what Steve gets himself into next!

Any additional comments?

(I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.)

I remember back in the day, reading Piers Anthony’s Xanth novels. (Wonder if the reference I made to the Incarnation of Immortality in my review of the first book Hell’s Super made my mind trip down memory lane….) I remember being so excited with every new discovery of another book in the series until I reached (oh, probably book 10 or 11). Now, Wikipedia states there are 39 books in that series. And if you are one of those who’s read every single one, I applaud you.

But, my point here is, these Circles of Hell books have that same excitement of the beginning of a series. However, I can see where fans would cry for more and the author would give them more and then run out of anything interesting to say.
That would be my prediction for the future.

For now, this is merely the second book in the series and the enjoyment is very up front and fresh.

Going by the fact that most of those who’ve read and reviewed this have left 4 and 5 star reviews and even most of those are salivating over the next book (Deal with the Devil), this is an exciting beginning to a series.

I understand that there are haphazard moments of brief exposition that typically slow down the plot, but I don’t think I’d give them up. I’ve been a fan of other ideas of the afterlife for as long as I can remember, and I lap up every detail, every random name drop. I want to know what Mark Cain thinks happens to those who religion has determined evil.

If you are even remotely curious about this series, please, please pick one up. You’ll enjoy it, even laugh a bit and maybe even bounce your head to the familiar tune that marks the beginning and ending of this book.

awesome

I love everything about this book. My favorite character is Boo because he is Satan's soft spot. the addition of non Christian entities is fun.

Entertaining

The comedy continues with just as many bad jokes as were in the first book. The 'bad guy' wasn't as obvious in this one. The narration was excellent and the pace was steady. I look forward to the next book.
