As punishment for his part in an attempted coup in heaven, the archangel Michael is banished to Earth. The holiest of the angelic host has to learn to live as a mortal - not an easy job when you’ve got Satan as a next-door neighbor. Michael soon finds that being a good person involves more than helping out at Sunday school and attending church coffee mornings. He has to find his purpose in life, deal with earthly temptations, and solve a mystery involving some unusual monks and a jar of very dangerous jam.

To the devil a daughter! Parenthood can come as a shock to some. It’s especially shocking if you are Satan, the Prince of Hell, and are trying to live a quiet life of semi-retirement in suburban England under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof. Clovenhoof quickly finds that being a single parent involves more than lullabies and nappies and has to contend with social disapproval, paternity tests and, possibly, the end of the world.

It also includes the bonus Hell for the Holidays, a 24/7 Demon Mart Christmas special. Lloyd Wallace is the most clueless crossing guard the intersection of hell and earth has ever seen. So clueless, that he doesn't even realize the beer cave in the corner store where he works is the gateway to hell.

Story
Doug wasn’t sure whether he should trust Satan. The red flag was that he said he was Satan. But the deal was good: Listen to Satan’s story in exchange for some donuts. And Doug only half-fulfilled his part of the bargain. But maybe he should have listened better, because during his friend Bryce’s next scheme (theft with light to moderate treason - the usual), Doug and the rest of his friends - Lulu (the fun one) and Charlene (the not fun one) - end up with a powerful artifact, a small metal cube with world-ending power that Lulu decorated with bunnies.

Nine months ago, Zeus' murder catapulted the Greek gods back into public life. Now, the whole pantheon revels in new temples, casinos, and media empires - except Apollo. An overachiever with a bursting portfolio of godly duties, the amount of email alone he receives from rapacious mortals turns each day into a living hell. Yet there may be hope, if only he can return Zeus to life! With the aid of Thalia, the muse of comedy and science fiction, Apollo will risk his very godhood to help TV producer Tracy Wallace and a gamer geek named Leif, who hold the key to Zeus' resurrection.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

Publisher's Summary
The Venislarn. Vastly intelligent aliens from another dimension or dribbling insane gods from a distant realm? It’s impossible to tell. What’s certain is that they’re here and they’re going to destroy our world. But, hey, there’s no mileage to be gained from telling the kiddywinks that monsters are real….
The consular mission to the Venislarn are the god appeasers and the end-of-life carers for an oblivious planet. It may be the end of the world as we know it, but there are procedures and policies in place, and everything should go according to plan. But, in the city, someone’s buying souls door to door, dealing in the kind of magical drugs that guarantee a really, really bad trip, and if something isn’t done about it, the end of the world might just happen a lot sooner than planned.
Sequel to the hilarious Oddjobs, this is a workplace comedy like no other, featuring face-eating grannies, telepathic spiders, bloodthirsty school kids, murder on the dance floor, sex-crazed pond life, and actual stockbrokers from hell.
The weekend can’t come soon enough (if it comes at all).

Excellent Sequel
A lot of times the second in series seems weaker, more like marking time. This book was as entertaining as the first. There's a lot of media satirizing bureaucracy but somehow combining it with Lovecraftian monsters in British suburbia makes it more fun. The Thatcher Academy taken over by the Mammonites, a particularly realistic portrayal of ambitious upper middleclass Venislarn seems both horrifying and realistic. I forced a copy of the first book in this series on a good friend. He is buying the second on his own.

As fun as one
This book continues the story begun in odd jobs one, and is a great deal of time. The characters have not significantly changed, nor has the impending doom of the planet. It no one allows that to get in the way of them doing the job that they think they need to be doing. You enjoyed odd jobs one you will enjoy odd jobs number two.

Been waiting for this for ages!
I loved the first book and have been very impatiently waiting for the to be released. The narration by Matthew Lloyd Davies is wonderful as he brings to life both the ordinary and the extra-ordinary. Whilst I know it's easy to compare this to Douglas Adams I think that Goody and Grant have found a voice of their own. The story is compact and yet encompasses the universe and is easy to get into. I don't think it's laugh out loud as much as quietly amusing with fantastic observational humour and a clever internal voice for all of the characters. Excellent!

Laughed and laughed
What a performance. What a performance! Matthew Lloyd Davies does such a great range that I cannot imagine another reader. The story was excellent as well. This time there were shorter arcs making up the whole. Very satisfying to listen to and also hugely funny. There were some scenes that could almost have been standalone sketches where I just roared. The characters are decently rounded. Mrs Grey is my favorite.

HP Lovecraft collides with Birmingham
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it’s predecessor. An excellent cast of characters and a well paced story. The narrator is excellent. For comparison purposes, the closest I can get is that it reminds me of early Tom Holt. Made me laugh out loud, and I keep quoting bits of it.
