Helpful Score: 1
Funny, but rather mean-spirited. Well written, worth reading.
Usually enjoy Heller's witty/funny writing!
Cute story about a woman "selling" her soul to the devil.
Not Heller's best. Far fetched and fantastical, but with good moral.
Fans of Janet Evonovich and Sarah Strohmeyer will love Heller's books. Try this one!

This wasn't one of my favorite books. But if you like paranormal reads this one could be a fun one.
Chick-lit of the magical kind.
I couldn't finish this book. I know the plot sounds cute, but it was too predictable for me.
Very Good!
Unusual story about a Realtor going to war against the devil. Interesting to me in that her perception of how the devil appears in daily life pretty much matches my own perceptions!
The heroine mistakenly makes a deal with the devil. Cute story.
