Product details
After being killed, Dora Carridine was shipped off to Heaven. But she's not ready to give up her life just yet, especially not when it means spending eternity in angel boot camp. She does everything in her power to try to get home, but nothing works. Even if she manages to escape Camp Angel and survive the sadistic drill sergeant, she still doesn't know how to get her body back. Powerless and alone, she decides that there is only one thing she can do. Dora has to find God and hope he's not a sanctimonious dick. "Wildly, bizarrely, brain-punchingly inventive!"- Derek Landy, bestselling author of Skulduggery Pleasant.DISCOVER THE DEMON DIARIES, which has spellbound 2.5 million readers! THE DEMON DIARIES is a darkly funny young adult series that combines GOOD OMENS style wit with urban fantasy stories similar to CASSANDRA CLARE'S MORTAL INSTRUMENTS to create an enthralling paranormal series that you won't be able to put down. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"The descriptions in this devilishly witty gothic series are rich with meaning, and the parody of supernatural characters are brilliantly human." ★★★★★ "Darkly funny and wickedly silly from the paranormal underworld and back! If you're tired of depressed heroines, then enjoy this feisty female protagonist as she travels on the road to Hell with nothing but her spells, soul chips and wits to keep her alive."★★★★★ "I love how Claire Chilton keeps your pulse racing until the end of the book. The addictive writing plus amusing characters and supernatural comedy in these books create an exciting read." ★★★★★ "An entertaining, humorous and fun paranormal story that kept me up past midnight because I couldn't put it down." ★★★★★ "When the teen demon lord you're dating takes you home to meet his family, and then you're forced to attend school in Hell, you know the romance is going to get a bit weird. This was a satirical young adult romp that will make you laugh out loud. The first story is a bit short, but it's also free. There is some cussing. So it's a great read for older teenage boys and girls, but not for kids." ★★★★★ "If you are looking for an action-packed and funny gothic fiction series with a strong female lead to completely immerse yourself in, then this enthralling urban fantasy might be the book for you." ★★★★★ "I love Dora! Her snarky sarcasm manages to amuse me whether she's being tortured in the academy for demons in Hell or just arguing with the Fallen One in Heaven. Great world building, and the most sarcastic characters." ★★★★★ "Claire Chilton not only conjures a YA fantasy world brimming with magical creatures like vampires, werewolves, zombies, angels, demons, succubus, dragons, fae, ghosts, gods, shapeshifters and a whole range of monsters, she also creates a few of her own. Were-squirrels, anyone?" ★★★★★ "If you're looking for a cynical teen horror comedy that is the goth lovechild of Deadpool and Buffy, then look no further. The novels in this series are fast-paced, dogma-driven, satires that focus on an outcast teenage girl and her gang of misfits, who use witty banter, dark omens and a spell book to go on wild adventures to Hell and back. With light humor, a few cliff-hangers and a lot of lols along the way, this Sabrina-like witch explores the horror of death and darkness in even the most heavenly places." ★★★★★*Language Edition: American English.

Heaven isn't always what it is cracked up to be
Heaven is supposed to be this awesomely awesome place. Dora finds out the hard way that it is not. In fact, it's a bit worse than Heck. Out of the first 3 books, this is probably my favorite. All of the characters are very relatable and very imperfectly human. We all have that one friend that is annoying and will mouth off and the most inopportune time. In the end though, they always pull through and save your butt. This of course would be Pooey. The dynamic between him and Lucian always makes for an amusing time. They fight like an old married couple. Dora and Kieron are still working out their feelings for each other (well, Dora at least). She is a pretty typical teenager in the fact that she is kinda crazy in the whole love department. It is still a fun and light ride with a bit more of a serious philosophical undertone (if one cares to look for it). So we started off in the Inferno (Heck), went to Purgatorio (well ok, maybe not real Purgatory but Earth is kinda like that for some people) and ended up in Paradiso (Heaven). Sound familiar? This was a comedy and it is divine (get it?)! Joking aside, my favorite thing about this book was that it brought up quite a few philosophical religious points. Again, this wasn't done in an offensive, demeaning or even in your face way. It was presented in a way where you go, hmmmmm….that IS interesting. I am picking up what you're putting down there. Divine Dora was one of the few books in which I actually highlighted quotes. I am always a sucker for literature that makes me think in new ways. I was not expecting that from this particular book.
