Read the full take

Devil Number 4 begins when a down-on-her-luck student runs out of money and hope. Then the devil makes his entrance with an offer she cannot refuse. He is a junior cog in Satan's corporate ladder, quickly losing credibility, because the desperate girl will not give up her soul willingly. Now she works at his coffee shop while he tries to convince her that she can have it all. The premise is a witty infernal workplace comedy with a sly romantic undertone.The series is at its best when the devil's corporate troubles collide with the heroine's stubbornness. The office politics of hell are funny and specific, and the coffee-shop setting keeps the dynamic intimate. The mythology gives the premise a rich backdrop.The weaknesses are a mythology that gets busy at times and a romance that remains secondary to the premise. Readers who enjoy quirky workplace comedies with a devilish twist will find much to like. Those wanting a deeper romance may find it thin, though the banter is consistently fun.
