Felix would like nothing more than to take a vacation. A long one. One where he didn’t have to wake up every morning and worry over casualty lists for the day. Ever since he and the Legion had been forced to flee their headquarters four years previous, nothing had gone quite right. In fact, Felix and the Legion have been locked in a shadow war with enemies unknown. Ones with magic that could carve through their technology easily.

Hi, how are you? Yes, I am talking to you, the reader of this book's description. Okay, I get it, fourth-wall breaking is overdone. Get over it. This book, Villains Rule, is a fantasy action-comedy which you have to hear. Not because it redefines the genre, far from it. But rather for what it contains. A villain's tale. How often do you get to listen to a story where the villain is the protagonist? No, not an anti-hero, or a brooding monster, nor a hero thinly disguised as a villain. And not evil. If you want evil, take that nonsense to therapy.

Summary
Travel with Steve, doomed for eternity to serve as hell’s Mr. Fixit, on a wild ride through the circles of hell in this best-selling, humorous fantasy series. The box set includes a complete story arc originally published in:
Hell’s Super
A Cold Day in Hell
Deal with the Devil
The Reluctant Demon
Circles in Hell has been variously described as satire and humor, comedy fantasy, or paranormal humor in the spirit of Christopher Moore, Tom Holt, Douglas Adams, and Gary Larson. The series takes the everyday frustrations of modern life and expands them to hellish proportions.
You never know who you will run into in Cain's cracked inferno. You might encounter a great inventor, a movie star, a mythological being, a very large bat, and, of course, more than the occasional devil and demon.

Hell is clearly quite a boring place
There is nothing terrible about this audiobook, but I have just returned it.
The reader of this audiobook does a competent job, and I would go so far as to say is enjoyable to listen to with clear diction.
The stories are mediocre at best I feel. The audiobook is extremely long, and while there are stories being told they are not engaging or particularly entertaining in the telling. The comparison to modern humorous writers seems a little over complementary. The author underestimated the audience with needless explanations, moves very slowly and lacks wit and charm with humour coming from most obvious sources. There is no challenge in this book whatsoever, just many hours spent in hope of some.

The saga of Minion, Hell's Super
This is a modern retelling of Dante's Inferno. Just as Dante met many familiar to people of his era, Minion meets many people familiar to our era.
Some primary characters are Orson Welles, Florence Nightingale, the Howard brothers (3 Stooges), Tesla, Ford, Pinkerton, Braille, and Freud. I liked how the author handled Orson as a character, as well as the others.
Michael Gilboe does a fine job with the narration, but his Orson Welles impression is terrible. I can overlook that, he does keep all the voices recognizable and distinctive. He is particularly effective in book 3 during an interrogation by Azazel.
The title and cover of Book 4 is a bit of a spoiler.
Recommended.

The trials and tribulations of Hell's Super
If you liked the "Bobiverse" series, these books could be for you! It is set in Hell, vs the outer reaches of space.
Mark Cain's (I love the irony of his last name) writing reminds me of Dennis Taylor's style, or perhaps vice versa? But I love the details, the action, the drama, and the snark of the author as he spins the tail of Steve Minion, Super of Hell, a former economics professor who is all thumbs; but is great with duct tape!
I'm still listening and on book 2, but I couldn't resist giving my two cents! I am thoroughly enjoying the story - which makes a commute along I-95 so much more bearable – and am sure to enjoy the rest of the stories!
Michael Gilobe has a great range of voices for the main characters,(Tesla, Ford, Wells, etc.) although - I do have to admit, not so much with Flo (something doesn’t hit just right for my tastes, but it doesn’t take away from the narration), but I adore the voice of the woman who runs Hell’s supply warehouse. It’s reminiscent to Roz, from Monsters Inc., which does conjure her image vs. the one Mr. Cain was probably envisioning. My favorite character is Boo, the huge and literal, Bat out of Hell.

Circles in Hell
A year or so ago I reviewed the 4th book in this series .I didn't really like it but now I know I needed the background of all the others.
This is a fun filled trip through all the levels of hell.Steve Minion and his co worker Orson(Wells of course) are superintendents for everything that goes wrong.They answer to Beezil,who answers to Satan.Each book is basically them trying to figure out why something isn't working.My favorite has to be 'If hell freezes over'.Just think what all could happen if it actually did!
It's a fun,gross,you'll love it!
Michael Gilboe was the perfect narrator.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Good books. Bad narrator.
Good book, but the narrator sounds more like a robot. It would be a lot better if he played more the role in the book. Couldn't even make it to chapter 5 in the 1st book.

Hell is What We Make it
Warning, if you are offended by religious (both good and evil) or historical figures being portrayed in ways other than their accepted roles, then this book collection is not for you! As the name implies this collection of books is set in a loose interpretation of the circles of hell with some interaction with the gates of heaven, where key decisions about a soul's destination are made. The author has the audience view this satirical version of hell through the eyes of one Steve Minion a poor soul doomed to both an ironic name and the impossible job of being the apartment superintendent or 'Mr. fix it' for all of hell. The narrator does an excellent job of switching between the forlorn-ness of Steve, the deviousness of the 'dark one' himself, and every growly or flamboyant demon or demoness in between.
In the first book we see a day in the life of Steve which includes mostly impossible tasks, futility and forlorn-ness along with the fears and futile struggles of everyone around him. However we also see how easily Steve can make friends when misery loves company, and the lengths he must go to to keep these friendships safe.
In book two Steve is assigned another impossible task, saddled with unlikely companions and told he must fix a problem that no one can explain or identify the source of. In the course of his preparations we see the power of words used carelessly, unlikely help from even more unlikely places, and a display of Steve's one and only superpower.
In book three Steve is thrown into a race against time mystery against a villain so foul, it has other denizens of hell cowering in fear at the mention of it's name. Steve has been lucky so far but even 'he' might not be able to claim victory on this one.
In book four we see the consequences of Steve's confrontation with the villain. Further Steve must once again do the impossible as all the resources of hell come bearing down upon him.
Having all of these books in one collection saves the audience several yards of fingernail biting as they await the release of the next book. Unfortunately this 4 book set does not include book 5, so nail-biting still ensues.

I wasn't too sure about getting this set.
I wasn't too sure about getting this box set, but based on the reviews I decided to give it a shot.
it was a very enjoyable listen. I've listened to the entire box set twice. and I will get the next set when I get my next credit. if there is one available.
If not I'll follow the author and wait till it's published and put it on my wishlist.
if you're teetering on the edge and you like paranormal Mysteries, with dark humor. You'll probably enjoy this series.
