Hell's Most Incompetent Demon

Supernatural Suckers, Book 1

De: Silvana Falcon

Narrado por: John Solo

Hell's most incompetent demon meets Earth's most hopeless romantic.

All Ethan wanted was someone who could help him find love—or at least someone to pop his cherry. A spell from an odd book he found at the library promised him a wish from Cupid. Sure, some of the ingredients weren't easy to get, but he could improvise. Was there really that much difference between dried laurel leaves and coriander?

He never meant to summon a demon.

Malphas hasn't been to Earth in a hundred years, not since he accidentally created a massively successful support group for gamblers and saved hundreds of souls from damnation. As punishment, he's stuck in Hell's archives filing dusty prophecies because his boss is convinced he's incapable of being properly evil.

When Ethan's summoning yanks him topside, he sees his chance to prove himself. He'll make a deal with the human—and collect that blindingly bright soul.

All he has to do is to help Ethan get together with his crush.

What could possibly go wrong?

Low angst, high comedy m/m romance. HEA guaranteed, no break-ups, no cheating.

Endearing and funny, Perfect Paranormal Rom-Com

What a funny and sweet paranormal romance! Mal and Ethan, both clueless, honest, and endearing in their own ways, somehow get their act together & end up together - the "how they got there" is one 'hell' of a story! Unexpected outcomes, consequences, allies and enemies, these two get help & hindrance along the way in various forms. Some of their ideas regarding solutions to their dilemma are - interesting. No worries, this is a wonderfully written rom-com with amazingly likable MCs & side characters is well worth the time to read it. Laughter is the best medicine, there's lots of love & cause for laughter to be found within these pages. I can't wait for book two!
The audio version was even better! The narrator had some fun with the voicing in this one, and it worked so well. His timing was perfect for the comedy, and it was easy to simply be swept away into the story. Beautiful job author and narrator, both!

Summoning gone wrong

I love Ethan and Mal. John Solo did an amazing job giving these characters voices. I enjoyed reading this book and loved listening to this audio of it. Mal's attempts at helping Ethan find love with his crush was hilarious the way things went away made me laugh. I enjoyed how their relationship grew and how they came to care for one another. This was a fun book to listen too.

Surprisingly delightful

I had no idea what to expect but I loved this story! It was a great palate cleanser with surprising humor. Mal is actually a terrible demon and Ethan is the most adorably awkward innocent man who accidentally summoned a demon. Ethan’s awkwardness made him a that much more lovable. Even though Mal is trying to claim Ethan’s soul, they manage to fall for each other and I loved every second of it! The narrator did a fantastic job and portraying all the characters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to see what happens with Noah!.

Funny and emotional

It was amazing how Ethan and Malphas story was brought to life by the amazing voices and inflexions of the narrator.
I loved the funny moments and the emotional ones, as well as the way they found their way to each other despite all the danger that awaited ahead.
The glimpse to the next adventure was sweet, and I can’t wait for the happiness of the next couple.

Loved It!

I read this book earlier in the year and loved it (original ebook review below). So I was excited to listen to it in audio. I've listened to a number of John Solo's narrated books, so I couldn't wait to see his interpretation. I liked that I had no trouble telling the characters apart by their voices. I especially liked his voice for Mal.

Hearing this book out loud elevated the humor of the story, and reminded me how cute these two were. And once again for poor Malphas, soul harvesting didn't go according to plan at all. But this time, with the best outcome.

Overall: 5 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 5 stars


Original Ebook Review 3/30/25-

"You're the worst demon in the history of Hell." Beelzebrock massaged his temples. "The actual worst. I have the metrics to prove it." He gestured at the scrolls. "You know what your problem is, Malphas? You care. It's embarrassing."

I loved this book. It was such a sweet romance and the premise was unique and intriguing. I loved both Ethan and Malphas. Mal wasn't a "good" demon because he'd saved souls instead of taking them- every since time. (I love that about him... and it's adorable!) Shy and lonely librarian Ethan's summoning finally got him out of Hell archives where he files prophesies all day. All Mal had to do to claim Ethan's soul is to help him lose his virginity to the man he loves. That shouldn't be too hard, right? The mishaps were hilarious and I couldn't get enough of these two. They were so cute together! I can't wait for the next book. Even just the title is hilarious! 5 stars.

funny with a touch of dark

Ok so, almost everything I have read from this author has been on the darker side... this is practically rom com. Mal is wonderfully incompetent and leads to so hysterical moments, but he and Ethan bring out the "best" in each other. It is still a little dark for a Hallmark but lots of fun and a great start to this world.
John Solo does an excellent reading, snarky with a hint of blink blink.

4.5 ⭐️ for a wonderful performance

Hell’s Most Incompetent Demon is a low angst rom-com with a demon who can’t get the knack of being evil, and a human with the purest soul he has ever met.

Mal is accidentally summoned by Ethan, who hoped Cupid could help his long term crush fall in love with him. Mal agrees, and shenanigans ensue. While Mal tries to honor their original contract, he inadvertently helps Ethan learn to be confident, and falls in love along the way.

John Solo narrated the audiobook, and his performance was on point. He was able to bring so much emotion to the story and made the characters so much more dynamic.

This is a light and easy read with fantastic world building and character development, the tiniest amount of angst, and a great flow and pace to the plot. I’m excited to see what the next book has in store!.

Paranormal romcom

Love this new series by Silvana Falcon. She always creates such well-rounded, empathetic characters with such snarky villains who you just love to hate by the time they try to do their worst to our hero and his love. Great side characters and a kick-azz best friend who just happens to be a librarian.
John Solo did a great job bringing these guys and their story to life. He works in Discord if you want to drop in sometime and enjoy a behind the scenes peek. Look for The Haven and John Solo's Owlery... Hoot Hoot

Mistaken Demon

This is book one in the newest Silvana Falcon series. It's a cute title and a rather sweet story. Paranormal lite when compared to the author's Monsters of Veridia. This is an entertaining tale about a librarian who is willing to sell his soul for a 'great' love and the demon who writes the contract.
Ethan is a romantic with a soul so pure that Hell will do anything to get him. Malphas is a golden retriever of a demon. His attempts to collect soul contracts always end up with him assisting the soul and losing them to Heaven. Getting Ethan to sign is his last chance of getting out of Hell's basement file room.
They fall in love and it's a race against time to get Ethan out of his contract.
The story has so many laugh out loud moments. From the summoning. You can use coriander instead of laurel, they're both herbs and both green. To Malphas' terrible spell casting efforts.
The story is nicely paced. Good worldbuilding. Noah is a great secondary and sounding board. The evil demons are Snidley Whiplash villains.
The only negative for me was John Solo's narration. I cannot love his voice, it's sometimes grating on my nerves. But overall, this is an original, funny and fun story.
