On her 16th birthday, Jessica Hunsucker's mom pays for her to get a makeover. She and her mom have never had the best relationship, since Mrs. Hunsucker has been busy with her political aspirations.

Jessica soon discovers that her mom's aspirations were more like obsessions, however, when she finds herself literally sold to the Devil.

Hell's really not that bad; just really boring. With the help of her newfound friend/demon mate Brad, Jessica discovers that her mom plans to take over the world through any means necessary. With her mom appearing to be a modern-day Hitler, Jessica returns to Earth to get help from an activist group intent on stopping her mom, but how high of a price will she end up having to pay?

A cross between a romance and an activist-adventure novel, the paranormal aspects of the book give a unique look at Hell, the afterlife, and the world's view of the Devil. The lesser characters are a little one-sided, but the main character is entertaining and fun to follow.

Readers who like paranormal romance, adventure, and horror will probably enjoy reading this book. ( )

Merideth says: This book really didn't do much for me. I thought that Jessica was too uninteresting to make a believable heroine, and that her sudden urge to stop her mom came out of nowhere. I do give Kaye credit for coming up with an interesting version of Hell. ( )

excellent. Although Jessica seemed to accept her fate a little more quickly than I would expect, the book lived up to my expectations.
