Amazon.com Review: These Hellish Happenings

These Hellish Happenings
By Jennifer Rainey
5 Stars

“Satan in Hell,” This Book is Great

I haven’t read a book featuring a vampire since Dracula in 10th grade. In fact, I only bought this one because the author’s biography page is funny—it really is.

I started reading this with no expectations, but found myself highly impressed very early on. In addition to putting together a fun story, author Jennifer Rainey tells a very smart story about the nature of a Hell that reflects some of the most banal, mean-spirited and bizarre aspects of life on earth in the 21st century.

I especially enjoyed the cast of characters—from Jack the vampire to Satan himself (“S.”). Rainey’s novel moves quickly, engages the reader and leaves me eagerly anticipating more.

These Hellish Happenings is classified as “fantasy,” but I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a good story—particularly one with plenty of humor and themes that’ll make you think.

Very well done from start to finish.
