Written by David Burton This one requires you to think nothing of your faith. Think nothing of how heaven and hell works - just go with the ideology of Soul Retrievers, written by David Burton. 

So what am I asking? I'm asking you to pretend (if you're a Believer) that God can send you to hell... by mistake. That you can be pulled from said mistaken and placed before the golden gates instead. With help that is far from divine...

He has a gift, if one would call it such. He, along with a few others, are able to go into the bowels of hell and retrieve souls. They can't be brought back to earth, but they can be removed from Hell and placed in Heaven. Sounds crazy? It is, but the story takes you there and brings you back, with wonderings on whether hell is truly the worst after death. 
According to this book, it's not.

Back to Getter. So he's down  on 373rd level of hell, looking for a girl. The problem is, he's got a good heart, so he winds up meeting and helping other souls while seeking the girl. Along with a couple of friends, who are also professional hell travelers, they stumble across an uprising that could bring all the demons, demi-demons and or whatnots to their knees. Can he still find the girl, and get out alive... or something like alive?

​Soul Retrievers is interesting and rather funny. The story gets into the head of our fearless hero, but he's got issues. He's fast on the uptake, but he's emotionally involved and that's his downfall. A lot happens in Hell, and I laughed quite a bit as he describes creatures, how many have died and so on, but it takes an eternity to come 'round, making the read rather hellish. It took way too long and even though a lot was taking place, I grew weary.

I think the story is fabulous but, to me, needed to be cut down some. I can't lie though, imagining some of the monsters described awesome. In a cool but horrific sort of way. The book is definitely an adventure and if you believe in those levels of hell, you may not want to read this one. But if you're like me (even with my being a Christian and all), Soul Retrievers was great! Full of action, ghoulish beings, and things that hook into your torso and fly away with you, this is going to make sleeping tough. 

I'm off to the next read. Cheers!
