My Boss is the Devil (The Devil You Know Book 1) Kindle Edition

What’s better than being a college dropout twenty-something working as a barista in New Haven, CT? Just about anything.

Nick would give anything to escape the dead-end life he’s made for himself. He gets the offer of a lifetime from Lucifer himself, to trade his apron for a suit. Should he really consider becoming an agent of the Devil? With the way things are going for Nick, of course he should.

Lucifer wants to give Nick a chance to do what he always wanted, to help people, wielding power and influence to make their dreams come true. He would have to sell his soul, but the Devil is a gambling man and lets Nick experience his new life before he has to sign on the dotted line. Can he use the Devil’s power for good, and make his mark on the world, or will he fall victim to his own desires and lose his humanity?

As if that wasn’t enough, the very friend that made the meeting with Lucifer possible turns on Nick, and he needs to do some quick thinking to come out on top. Maybe the ends justify the means, but there are no easy answers.

Finding the balance between good and evil is about to require a lot of coffee.

Ben Schenkman

Author

Ben Schenkman likes many things in life: his 20-pound Maine coon cat, his family, his coffee, and his eclectic hobbies—not necessarily in that order.

Ben also likes to play devil’s advocate in his urban fantasy books by exploring the gray areas of good and evil with questions like, “Does the end really justify the means? Or is it all simply black and white?” Ben leaves these questions lingering in the ether to challenge readers’ conventional thinking and delve into the complexities of moral dilemmas.

As a native of Connecticut, Ben draws inspiration from his upbringing and college years in New Haven, where his novels take place. When he wants to escape being a writer, he’s a massive foodie who goes on gastronomic adventures, an overachiever who collects degrees in Theater, Nuclear Engineering, and an MBA, or the manager/performer of the fire dance troupe, HVBRIS—you know, the basics. No big deal.

Learn more about his work, or talk about coffee and cats, at his website.

Note from the Author

I love a good series, but I hate waiting for the next book if it ends on a cliffhanger. The first book stands on its own, intentionally.

I do my best to have each book in the series build on the last, but they each wrap up nicely without making you wait for the next to find out how it resolves.

The Devil You Know Series

  • Book One: My Boss is the Devil (Available Now!)
  • Book Two: Dueling Shoulder Angels (Coming June 2024)
  • Book Three: The Devil's in the Details (TBD)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ben Schenkman serves up a devilishly delightful tale of temptation and redemption in this page-turner. Nick's journey from barista to devil's advocate is as wild as it gets, filled with twists, turns, and more moral dilemmas than you can shake a stick at." - Robin Ginther-Venneri, Robin's Review

3.0 out of 5 stars 3/3.5 Stars
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2024
The plot is intriguing and the action in the last 1/4 of the book or so was unexpected. I do think there were some missed opportunities to expand on the other associates of the Devil. Not my typical read, but overall happy I picked this up. Will be interested to see where the story goes in the upcoming novels.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
I enjoyed My Boss is the Devil and can’t wait for the second book. It was smartly written and fun. I enjoyed Nick and his development. The premise had me interested from the get go and kept me interested throughout. It was quick, which is good for me when I need those in between books. I liked Lu and the way the devil and his deals played out!

Amazing book! The author sets a world where characters leap off the page, vibrant and alive. Each page crackles with the energy of real living and breathing individuals, their complexities and emotions. Book's narrative is like breathing ozone - fresh, invigorating, and leaving readers yearning for more of this immersive literary experience. 5 out of 5
