Angel Trouble: 24/7 Demon Mart 3

24/7 Demon Mart #3

by D.M. Guay

One loser, one talking cockroach, and one karate-chopping bombshell stand between YOU and certain death. Or not. No, definitely not, because the grim reaper's lost his job. He's been stripped of his scythe and banned from reaping. The angel of death has officially fallen, and he's crash-landed at 24/7 Demon Mart.
It doesn't take long for DeeDee, Lloyd, and Kevin to figure out that living with the angel of death isn't easy. Lost souls. Angry exes. Ancient curses. Will the grim reaper ever get his afterlife together? The outlook is not so good.
The reaper isn't the only angel who's out of sorts. Lloyd's devilish boss Faust hasn't been the same since a tentacle monster spit him out of an alternate dimension, and his ex-girlfriend tried to start the zombie apocalypse. And Angel eight ball? He's having a hell of a time juggling a terrible new boss and saving Lloyd from eternal damnation.
As unreaped souls stack up and the specter of death looms larger, what's the Demon Mart crew to do? Find out in this grim reaper comedy. Angel Trouble is book three in the 24/7 Demon Mart series, a humorous dark fantasy and horror-comedy book series for fans of Christopher Moore (Dirty Job), Dave Turner (How to be Dead), Jack Townsend (Tales from the Gas Station) and Rick Gualtieri (Bill the Vampire).

[Eli - Bookworm & Vine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been a great series!

[Richard Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Angel Trouble is book three in the horror-comedy series, 24/7 Demon Mart (book five if you include the tie-in novellas ‘Hell for the Holidays’ and ‘Creature of the Poo Lagoon’) by author D.M. Guay. The series tells the tale of lowly convenience store worker Lloyd Wallace who finds his new job at Dairy Mart also entails occasionally saving the world from demons and all other manner of hellish creatures. Joined by a motley crew of co-workers, including a suave demon and a talking cockroach, Lloyd tries to get through his shifts without causing too many world-threatening apocalypses along the way.

‘Angel Trouble’ introduces a new character in the form of a grim reaper called Zackumzaphielhermesiappotholonian (don’t worry, you can call him Zack for short), who takes a shine to poor Lloyd, but leaves a trail of bodies in his wake wherever he goes. Soon the Dairy Mart is overrun with ghosts, and with nobody to guide them over to the afterlife, Larry must find his inner-hero and once again save the day with the help of his unrequited crush DeeDee and belligerent boss Kevin.

Horror comedy is a tough nut to crack and I can count on one hand the number of authors who have tried their hand and done it well (I’m looking at you, Jeff Strand). ‘Angel Trouble’ succeeds by leaning much further toward the ‘comedy’ in ‘horror comedy’, using the supernatural as a springboard to tell outlandish and funny tales. It’s all very light and fun. For all the implied peril, no character ever really feels in any danger, as the rules at play in this supernatural world offer all kinds of convenient get-out-of-jail-free cards. It makes the book unpredictable in a fun way and helps to keep the tone light and enjoyable.

The premise (average Joe in over their head when employed by a company with lots of supernatural shenanigans afoot) reminded me a great deal of the hapless Paul Carpenter from Tom Holt’s fantastic ‘Portable Door’ series, although ‘Angel Trouble’ reads more like Christopher Moore or A Lee. Martinez, with 100% more sex, swearing and heavy metal.

The book's humour largely comes from how out of his depth Lloyd is. He is constantly finding himself in situations where he has no idea how to act and he is a great lead, in that he is our window into an otherwise manic and crazy world where anything can (and does) happen. There isn’t much in the way of story when it comes to ‘Angel Trouble’, more of a series of unfortunate events that culminate in a life lesson for Lloyd, leaving him a changed character by the books end (although hopefully not too changed, otherwise book four may be a bit dull)!

An enjoyable entry in a fun series, ‘Angel Trouble’ is heavy on comedy and light on horror, but you can’t help but get swept along in the fun. It’s pure, unashamed entertainment and easy reading for when you want a book that’s engaging and more than a little bit silly. Consider me a new fan.

Audiobook Review

This series got to me. Not gonna lie. I started this not liking Lloyd and then slowly but surely, like what he is doing in the story, he grew on me.

In this one, he is trying to better himself. That is what starts the whole shebang and clusterfreak this time. In here we have ghosts, reapers, werewolves, vamps, strippers, and a ghost child who is looking for her unicorn. All topped by someone out to bring down Zach - the saddest reaper who ever reaped.

Zach decides that Lloyd is his best friend and follows him around everywhere. This is a problem cause Zach is a grim reaper and no one wants one around.

This time however, Lloyd was able to be the hero of his own story and brought down the bad guy in this episode, as he finally started paying attention to his manual.

Then to find out who the guardian angel really was made me gasp.

I am really enjoying this series and it would not be the same without the narration of Todd Haberkorn.

[Gilbert Stack · Rating 5 out of 5]

After almost getting eaten by zombies in book 2, Lloyd is finally ready to stop messing around and get his body into shape. Unfortunately for him, the bizarre problems that are a daily occurrence at the Demon Mart do not plan to wait for him to get ready for them. This time, the trouble centers upon The Grim Reaper (actually, he's only A Grim Reaper) who has been laid off from his job while the other angels investigate some rather nasty accusations against him. To make matters worse, The Grim Reaper's girlfriend of a mere 5000 years has broken up with him and so he's doubly heartbroken and has come to the rather strange idea that Lloyd (whom he has just met) is his best friend in the whole world. He then goes about accidentally destroying Lloyd's life, screwing up his company-paid-for gym membership and getting Lloyd put on review and in danger of losing his job. Oh, and the Grim Reaper is also apparently accidentally killing lots of people he runs into.

Now the reader is pretty sure from moment one that all is not what it seems, but the cast of our Demon Mart epics can be forgiven for not catching on too quickly. After all, Lloyd has a demon personally interested in wrecking his life and all the spirits the Grim Reaper is creating have come to the Demon Mart to haunt everyone (including one of our beloved main cast heroes.)

Lloyd has to really step up and become the principal hero (as opposed to the sidekick) this time. He has to be better than you ever believed he could be or he, Kevin, and DeeDee are going to be seriously dead for all eternity. I was, quite frankly, shocked at how far D.M. Guay took this and I was incredibly pleased how she maneuvered Lloyd into tackling these problems without fundamentally changing who he is.

Now if all of that isn't enough, I cannot close this review without mentioning Lloyd's employee manual. He has been avoiding reading it for two books now and it appears to be very angry at him over his neglect. Now that he needs it, the manual wants nothing to do with him. If you thought it was getting odd and scary in the last book, you ain't seen nothing yet.

This is hands down the best book of a great series. Here's to hoping the next book is just about ready for publication.

This might be better read than listened. Zack the Reaper is a weepy sad sack for most of his appearances. It was grating to listen to.

[Natalie H · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m reading this one for Lloyd’s relationship with his employee manual. The gym made me laugh. I felt sorry for Zack but after the last one, sabotage/curse was the obvious answer. I didn’t see the angel revelation coming, so that was interesting. Poor Kevin, finally had a chance to move on. Morty went a bit too far, literally the pop up pervert now. Looking forward to seeing how death affects Lloyd.

[Ziggy Nixon · Rating 5 out of 5]

4+++ fun-filled stars! Hanging out with the... sorry A ... grim reaper hasn't been this much fun since the days of flying around on a giant space turtle with four galactic elephants on her back!

D.M.Guay brings back the Demon Mart team for another wacky (albeit condensed) adventure. Hard to believe that a great deal of the Midwest if not the world depends on the efforts of this wise-cracking crew. And as usual, we're thrust into a situation within the first few paragraphs that we just aren't sure we can recover from, dangling participles or not. And while you may eventually guess who the real bad guy is in all this, you will NOT see some of the rest of the big reveals heading your way until they land! No pun or several puns intended, I'm not sure which.

The strength of 'Angel Trouble' lies in not only the usual shenanigans but also Guay taking a big step forward in terms of spreading the story out over more players and a few more locations as well. If you're like me, well, a hell-like rendition of a gym filled with sweaty buff people (???) is definitely the stuff of nightmares and she handles these scenes with brisk horror and carnage! But even more impressive was that the crazy conglomerate of characters in this book reminded me of the wackiness found in what I think is the best of all the 'Demon Mart' stories, namely, the 'Hell for the Holidays' novella. That hilarious look at the hellscape that is late December not only features about as wide an assortment of loonies as you'll find but also takes place NOT in the confines of our 24/7 Quik-E (with a nod to Morty) Mart but instead mostly Lloyd's family home. But make no mistake: these books are NOT intended as bed-time stories for the kiddies!

Also, in "Angel Trouble"Guay's gut-punch pop culture references were dialed right in to my own AM/FM receivers, even if I am closer to 60 than 50 (that's an age not weight reference). It all makes me feel that Lloyd is less of the loser he might portend (sic) to be and more of an older soul trying to find his way while being stuck in a younger dude's body, even if said body takes way too much abuse (and that poor bike). Needless to say, watching his growth and seeing him get nearer to what is no doubt his ultimate destiny is fun stuff! [Oh and for the record, I truly believe that KISS recording 'Beth' as the B-side to 'Detroit Rock City' is what started the dramatic downturn in that city's fortunes as well as the US Auto Industry (all caps). Yes, it's nothing less than a chanted curse and should be ex-/excorc-ized from our collective consciousnesseseses... (I never know how to stop spelling that word)...]

Anywho, my main point is the whole 'fun stuff' reference, which is how I would describe not only this third installment but also the first two full-length Demon Mart books which I enjoyed AGAIN before diving into this one (you also need to include the novellas in your reading list... and this is coming from someone that usually spurns any book that doesn't reach novel length status!!!)! Hey, if you find that you can't wait for the new one to come out barely 2 weekdays after the last release (is that true, because one of those was a holiday?), well, something must be going right! See you soon (I hope)!

[Panda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book three of "Help! I'm a sloppy Joe working in demon 7/11!"

In this entry a few new side characters get introduced. Most notable is Zack... the unemployed grim reaper.

Well, not so much unemployed as suspended currently so he laches on to our MC. This wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a trail of bodies left behind where ever he went.

Because the rules in this world are nonsense you have no idea where this is going. The focus is on the comedy.

Unfortunately this brings the book down compared to the previous two installment. There is a lack of internal consistency and quite a few jokes are recycled and run to the ground by this point making the characters seem more like broken records that refuse to interact with the world around.

It also comes off as mean spirited at times. In the previous two book the MC was a man baby with most of his problems being self inflicted. He was an annoying character but in context it was working and you don't dislike him, not really anyway. Here however his personality disappears giving him a more Blanky Mc Blank Blank character that other characters are quick to hate on. The way they interact is illogical and unnatural.

For that I am removing one star. It's not a bad book but the humor isn't as good with quite a few misses sadly.

Preamble

D.M. Guay’s 24/7 Demon Mart is the best series I’ve read in a long time. I’ve spent a lot of time with horror comedy over the years, but there is a poignancy to the ridiculousness of these books that well-done comedy is all about. It’s easy to write off something like a comedy about a clueless slob in way over his head with the supernatural as light fluff, but there is quite a bit of philosophy written into the story, like most great works of mythology. Monster Burger, the second in the series, was more laugh out loud funny than this but this book really cemented D.M. Guay as a damn fine writer in my book.

A note about my reviews: I consider myself an appreciator, not a critic. I know first-hand what goes into the creation of art – the blood, the sweat, the tears, the risk. I also know that art appreciation is subjective and lernt good what mama tell’t me – if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I’m not a school marm grading a spelling test – I’m a reader who enjoys reading. If a book is entertaining, well-written, and I get absorbed into it, five out of five. It’s either five stars or nothing these days – if I don’t like it, no review. Regardless, I wouldn’t even put a star rating system on my reviews but for the reality of storefronts like Amazon.

Take from that what you will.

Review – 5/5

If you’re three books deep into the 24/7 Demon Mart series, chances are you’re sold on the entire series. That’s me, in a nutshell. I bought paperbacks of all of the main entries, including the recently released (Re)Possessed (24/7 Demon Mart #4). D.M. Guay is pretty much guaranteed I’ll be getting everything she writes at this point.

OK, enough fanboy gushing. Each of the books seems to have a thematic thing going on, and Angel Trouble is no different. This time personal responsibility and the price of jealousy are a couple of the foci. Well, to be fair, personal responsibility features heavily in all of them, since Lloyd is a growing manchild who is finally getting his act together. The whole jealousy thing: well, I don’t really want to talk about it since it might spoil the plot a mite, but Guay tackles the subject well.

Then there is what I see as the main focus: death. From my experience, death and birth are linked. Interconnected, even, or two sides of the same coin. The themes of death and resurrection feature prominently throughout all kinds of mythological traditions, be they Christian, Hindu, Norse, Egyptian. There is a reason for that, and you don’t need to be an expert in symbology or have read Carl Jung cover to cover or even… gasp… have lived through a metaphorical death and rebirth and come to understand that life itself has a mythological dimension.

It's no secret that this book is about death. Just look at the cover and you’ll see a cutesy grim reaper staring back at you. Guay’s secrets seem to be woven into the fabric of the text, sandwiched between the lines and soaking into your being through metaphor. The truth is, Guay might ostensibly write comedy books, but I think she’s one of those rare writers who are dispensing the mythology of the age. Joseph Campbell said that the eternal aspects of mythology are indeed timeless – it’s the reason we can still glean hints about our own existence through stories and myths from eons past. The parts that are caught in time, though, are definitely of a modern bent.
It's no surprise: Lloyd is a dude working at a demonic 7/11, cleaning up supernatural messes and doing his pathetic best which seems to be just enough. As his demonic boss Faust often says, he has a lot of heart, and heart is what the whole life game is all about. Lloyd holds on tightly to the calling of his heart, never faltering in his attempts to do the right thing, even if he messes up royally over and over again and must face the maw of the dragon as he grows through his pain. It’s this lesson, reinforced time and again in so many ways and so many stories, that really makes these stories impactful.

I’ll be frank: this book had a huge impact on me. You can’t really express some of the things that go on in our own experience of reality. There is plenty that is beyond words, stuff that we can only talk about through metaphor and suggestion. There’s no guarantee that it will impact anyone else as deeply as it has me, but Angel Trouble certainly has certainly lived up to its name in my little neck of existence.

Plus, it’s easy to read and funny to boot.

24/7 DEMON MART, BOOKS 1-3 - This trio was something different to read since it's hard to find good mystery/action/thrillers books to read and I'm saturated with romance. The writing style is well done, and the story lines are intriguing, and the imagination used with everyday items is interesting. Plus, these books are edited, yay. Interesting tidbits after each book. This is not rocket science, just plain, no brain required entertainment. Source: BookSprout.

The Graveyard Shift, #1 - Absolutely a fun trip to read this introduction in the world of Good vs. Evil. While there's some gory, but not exactly explicit, bits, which happens when Good battles Evil in an enclosed space, the humor and fun filled pages made this book hard to put down. The Loser comes up smelling like a rose no matter what and not with too much effort on his part. The group of good characters make an interesting team and support the Loser in unexpected ways, to him since he's a lonely gamer, not a team player. 5*

Monster Burger, #2 - Picks up the next morning after TGS ends. While I wasn't excited by the increased vulgar language, which included the name of God used in vain, this is an intense and intriguing story complete with nonstop action. Plenty of humor to add to the mix of gore and babies. 4*

Angel Trouble, #3 - OK, the action continues where MB ended, a lot of bent out of shape folks and more woes. Pretty intense, with a couple of places of "how you gonna get out of this". Funny and action filled. 5*

Lloyd, DeeDee, Keven, Faust, Bubba, and Morty have a problem - or more accurately the 24/7 Demon Mart crew and humanity have a problem again again. People are dying but their souls are not being carried across to the next existence. A Grim Reaper (not The Grim Reaper, just A Grim Reaper) appears in floods of tears after being sacked and dumped by his girlfriend. A demon girl scout begins to stalk Lloyd - oh, and ghosts and werewolves appear too to cause problems. All in a day's work you might think - if you have read the previous 24/7 books, well, maybe not as the crew are clueless about what to do and are frantically struggling to survive deaths cold kiss.

Yes this is another book in the 24/7 Demon Mart series but I felt that this one really ramped things up. There is a mystery to solve in this one like none of the others. There is also so much happening that it really does feel like everything is doomed. I really enjoyed this episode and probably enjoyed it a little more than the last installment because it felt like the characters and the story had really developed since last time. While previously I would have said you don't need to read the books that came before it, in this one, due to the amount of madness, I would say it is required. D.M. Guay really has crafted a lovely world within these books and I really enjoyed the chaos and the Easter Egg nod's to contemporary horror that were littered around the book. I can't wait to sink my teeth into the next book. 5/5 from me - thumbs up all around.

[James Crawford · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in this hilarious series about a guy (Lloyd) that still lives with his parents, is overweight and has no drive to 'improve' his position in life. He works in a convenience store which just happens to have a portal to a reality filled with monsters which, unfortunately, occasionally get through that into the store.

Then you have the boss Kevin (a talking cockroach) and his co-worker, Dee Dee. Lloyd also has an 8-ball that is supposed to be his angel guardian although how much guardian stuff an 8-ball can do is questionable.

So, there's leftover monster goop from the previous book and then the Grim Reaper walks in. An upset, crying Grim Reaper (one of many) who has been suspended from his job and his girlfriend has dropped him.

So, what else can go wrong? Something happens to Kevin, there's a terrible cleanup crew, more monsters, another Grim Reaper (who takes great delight in what has happened to the other Grim Reaper), a werewolf, gremlins, overenthusiastic buys who want Lloyd and other to do gym workouts and a few other things going on.

Definitely a convenience story you never want to walk into for sure.

Badass, as always!

Besides being very glad she is in remission (I am as well...It's a great place to be) I'm extraordinarily glad that the books keep flowing. Although I do wish she wrote a bit faster, what can I say? I love me some Demon mart. I just do.
This one was the best so far, imho. It drug me in, clamped cold bony fingers in my collar, and refused to let go until the whole gang was safe again. whew...what a ride! I loved it, and if you're weird and twisted enough, you will too. These books appeal to a wide range of weirdos. I, for instance, am a former fighter pilot/ex cop /retired airline captain in my mid 50's. You just never know. If you've ever wondered about those oddball convenience stores with the creepy vibe and the strange employees,and thought to yourself "I'll bet they're hiding a gate to hell in here somewhere"...this book is for you. Enjoy!

[Maynard · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first book was great, and I had high hopes for this series - perhaps that's impacting my ratings. The second book was enjoyable, but I didn't find it as fun as the first book. And book 3 - I found finishing it a chore.

The author's overuse (in my opinion) of onomatopoeia became irksome (but I'm high functioning autistic with sensitivity issues). And I became tired of the lead character, Lloyd. Luckily I persevered, and the author turned it around in the end.

Overall, I can only give 2 stars (it was ok), but I will likely read book 4. I still have hope for the series, and the other characters are enjoyable. Hopefully, Lloyd will be more likable in the next book.

If you liked the first two books, book 3 is worth a read.

Get reading the 24/7 Demon Mart series now

You don't have to be a fan of Zombie movies to like these books. I've only just seen my first one (Army of the Dead) and this book had way more laughs - as usual.
There's also the book sausage at the end which helps confirm your thoughts on some of the references made during the book. And if you don't know what a book sausage is, then read the book.
You just need to like escapism and humour to enjoy this series - and you will.
Miss Guay's has written another belter with all the (un)usual characters.
The only downside is having to wait for the fourth book to be written.....

Another 24/7 Demon Mart book(5!) and another few hours spent laughing at Lloyd. If I have learned one thing from this book it’s to never NEVER take a Girl Scouts unicorn. I don’t know how to do it, or where they even get a unicorn but let’s just keep it cozy and not find out. As per usual the characters in this book have great one liners, funny quips, and sometimes some deep stuff to say. A fair amount of time is spent on Zapps evil eye chips, which, I mean, hell yah, those chips rule ass. If you’ve liked the rest of the series as much as I have, don’t skip it, there’s a supremely bummed grim reaper, and you’d be a supremely bummed... person? If you skip this.

Everything i like in a horror/ fantasy/ comedy!

Another great installment in the Demon Mart collection from the awesomeness that is D.M.Guay
Will Junebug lose her perfect employee of the month statis, will Marty land his "Unicorn" and just what is DeeDee's middle name? All these questions and much will be clearly revealed by a 50 cent clairvoyant with narcolepsy and a lisp.
This is absolutely a great read, so make sure you read the previous books to get the complete feel for this family of characters and the world they live in it is well worth it.

Congratulations to the author on a great read.

I always love a visit to Demon Mart, but there was something extra special about this one.

I think this may be my favorite in the series so far! I really loved the character development for Lloyd as well as the character development for his employee handbook! Kevin was a delight as always- he stole my heart when he brought up Sabbath the first time. I absolutely adored the addition of Zach the reaper and the chaos he brought into the mix. This book was laugh out loud funny, full of all the crazy shenanigans you've come to expect and the characters you can't help but love. I'm so curious what's in store for everyone in the next book.

Not A Fan Of The Reapers

While it should be said that I do enjoy this book series, in fact after a certain point I had to keep going to find out what happened to the Lloyd & DeeDee which meant finishing the book early this am, I did have some issues & maybe it was because of the audio versions of the books I consume them by. My first issue was how the down on his luck character (no spoilers here) cried so loudly. The other I’ll just say how, it was volume related & tone/pitch when it came to another character. However, I do look forward to listening to book 4 & others

[Kosta Galabov · Rating 3 out of 5]

for most part of it, I was bored. Same old cliches, just with crazier monsters/beings. The end was interesting though. a bit of twist and all. Kind of compensated for the rest of it. but no more than 3 stars and that is only because of the ending, otherwise it was 2 stars all the way.
I will think if I will give the next book a chance given that while I am mildly entertained so far, it is only mildly ;)

I never thought I would love a cockroach

These books just make me smile. Snarky without being over the top, easy but still entertaining reads, and written by an author who understands grammar and how people think. You root for our underdog Lloyd and his take no shit manager cockroach Kevin. These books are totally for the hidden comedy loving goth in all of us. Read these.

As the grim reaper, one of, is suspended, he moves in with Lloyd, DeeDee and Kevin at the Demon Mart, what could possibly go wrong!! Lloyd is trying to shape up to hero status, but with a reaper as a companion, trouble is not far away, along with dead bodies. Good story, that moves at a nice pace, with the character interaction on top form.

[Chris Cohron · Rating 4 out of 5]

The series finally feels like it hit a stride here in the right direction. Lloyd and company deal with their own personal and professional problems alongside a lovelorn and depressed Reaper. Fun and entertaining, for the most part. If I had to hear the Audible reader cry as Zach again I was gonna claw my ears out.
