Bea Calloway's Fabulous Guide to Surviving Hell
When wealthy socialite Beatrice Calloway’s birthday comes to an abrupt end by the arrogant demon, Charysyllon, the unlikely duo unwillingly set out on a road trip from Hell to save her soul.
Only bad girls go to Hell.
Or at least, that’s what wealthy socialite Beatrice Calloway believed until the annoyingly handsome Soul Reposessor demon, Charysyllon, crashed her twenty-first birthday with a devastating problem: her soul has been promised to Hell and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Certain the demon has it backwards, Bea challenges him to a deal. If he allows her to prove the contract is a fraud, she will give the demon a piece of her heart, something the soulless Char desperately wants.
Plans change when a murderous biker, who looks strikingly familiar to her father’s killer, ruins her last chance at fixing her reputation. With death and Hell hot on her shiny pink heels, Bea enlists Char’s help in saving her soul.
When the two uncover a murder-for-hire plot that threatens Bea’s life and the fate of her company, it’s up to Bea to save her soul and her father’s legacy. That is, if she doesn’t give the rest of her heart to the demon first.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a character like Elle Woods had to learn law because someone screwed her over and in the process she fell in love with a demon? No? Neither had I, but clearly I should have because this book takes that premise and absoloutely NAILS it.
This was a cozy adjacent and fun read that kept me turning pages all the way through. While reading I could not help but imagine this as a paranormal romcom TV show and honestly think it would translate really well to that media.
Bea was great as a FMC. Completely self aware of her faults but not overly bothered by them, yet still willing to learn to be a better person. It was nice seeing her grow and learn that not all that mattered was shopping and that responsibilities were not something to run from.
Char was an interesting MMC because he was so exhausted of his place in life and just started acting on instinct without fully thinking things through and it made him a bit chaotic which was great. I also loved his flare for the dramatic, because I mean, who doesn't wanna make a show?
This was just a fun little read from start to finish, can't recommend enough!

God do I feel catfished by the reviews on this one.
Just… ugh. If you want to read a book with a main character who’s a pathetic Elle Woods copycat with none of the grace, charm, kindness, or depth but with a cute side dose of paranormal experiences: I guess read this one?
If you love stories where one half of the couple is annoyingly vapid and the other half is insufferably cynical for no good reason and both of them are TSTL and incapable of authentic human connection then boy howdy have I got the book for you.
And if you like it when books are sloppily (un)edited with an abundance of sentences that just don’t quite make sense, feel awkwardly phrased, and totally break the flow of the prose, then I have a lot of questions (and maybe some criticisms) for you but here: take this book. You’ll love this!
Hate reading people’s drafts. Learn how to edit your own work if you can’t afford to pay an editor (and god if this involved a paid editor and/ or proofreader: use someone else next time).
Also there’s nothing funnier than author’s notes where the author thanks their author friends for reading/ supporting them while they wrote a poorly edited & unfinished feeling novel. Get better friends, because yours aren’t giving honest feedback.
The concept was there but the execution sucked so, so much. Two stars for concept though. Great concept.

I received an advance reader copy of this book and am leaving my honest review.
The Vibe:
This is a fun, fast-paced paranormal rom-com about a socialite who discovers her soul has been promised to Hell on her twenty-first birthday. The concept is incredibly creative, and the banter-driven dynamic between Bea and Char kept me hooked through the quick, snappy chapters.
My Experience:
As a mood reader, my personal reaction to this was a bit complex. While I appreciated the "glossy" and dramatic tone—which I think would translate beautifully to a supernatural TV series—I found myself craving more of the "grit" that usually comes with a literal descent into Hell. Because I’ve been gravitating toward darker, more visceral genres lately, the lighthearted energy didn't quite sync with my current headspace, though the humor frequently made me smile.
Constructive Feedback:
To have earned a full 5 stars from me, I would have loved to see the author lean further into the "survival" aspect of the title. While the rom-com energy is strong, higher stakes or a more atmospheric exploration of the underworld would have added the depth I was looking for.
Final Verdict:
Overall, an entertaining debut with a clear audience. It’s a solid pick for readers looking for a lighter paranormal romance or anyone needing a high-energy story to pull them out of a reading slump.

Move over Elle Woods (and Bruiser), Bea Calloway is in town!
I could not put Bea and Char's story down - it's a fast paced romance with tons of funny, giggle-out-loud moments.
Bea is so real - she's pink and sparkly and blonde as well as kind and driven - she has a gorgeous character arc and learns real lessons, on the importance of working hard and the importance of family. She's wonderfully balanced and and easy to root for, even when she's trapped in Hell!! Go Bea, go Bea!!
Char is her opposite - grungy and dark-humored and jaded (and demonic!). But the tough guy has a soft spot for his sparkly sidekick - and is willing to sacrifice thousands of years without her so that SHE's HAPPY (currently still crying).
There's demonic animals (Bo Guest 4eva) and funny, quirky side characters and lots of fashion - I am so sad it's over.
If you're looking for Legally Blonde meets Good Omens, this is it!!

Okay so I liked the first half right?
The characters reminded me of one of my favourite series (good omens) and their relationship was so cute.
At first, I didnt love Bea. She was spoiled and had too much stake in high society and such. But she got better. She learned, she changed. By the end she grew on me :)
I also liked Mikel! I was hesitant because he was creepy but it was fortunately the spooky kind rather than the evil yucky kind. Loved him by the end.
Also of course Char my probably pansexual king. I loved him the most.
Bradley I expected to hate and didn’t! He has a bit of a silly name and being her ex put him in the stereotypical place of being the hated but he wasn’t! Good surprise
I think the second half was even better than the first. I really enjoyed the description of Hell and the experiences there.
Anyway yeah that’s all for now. <33333

Thank you S.M Bush for the ARC!
(4.5⭐️ rounded up)
The banter was delicious👩🏻🍳💋
Bea and Char are total opposites, but in a way that makes their dynamic even stronger. Their differences sharpen the humour and make their connection feel that much more satisfying as it develops. I found myself laughing through most chapters, and by the end I was completely swooning over Char. I wish Bea’s journey had leaned more into the survival aspect, but I still really enjoyed this book. Even though I knew it was a romcom, I was hoping for a slightly darker tone to match the whole “hell” setting. That said, the writing was beautiful, and I absolutely loved Bea and Charysyllon and the dynamic between them.
Also wish it was first person POV, but that’s just a preference.

Review of advance copy received from the author
From the get-go, I was really hooked on the book's premise. Although I had to adjust my expectations, having watched numerous crime shows, this was not, in fact, a thriller. I was pleasantly surprised to find it light, fun, and an overall enjoyable read.
While Bea did irritate me at the start, I do enjoy a character redemption arc. The friendship and growing chemistry between her and Char made me feel giddy.
As someone who grew up loving Legally Blonde, it was fun seeing a fictional Elle Woods come to life, except her biggest case is clearing her name from hell's records.
If you want Stephanie Plum-level shenanigans with a demon sidekick, you might get a kick out of this one.

Review of advance copy
Absolutely loved the chemistry between the two main characters.
The story was atmospheric and humorous, with excellent pacing. The book is great for commuting on public transport as the chapters are quick and snappy.
This might be just me, but the story read as if it was an animated series — at least that's how I had it in my head.
Now, the characters. Bea Calloway is not a very good person (if Elle Woods was more Regina George) and it's incredible. Char is a demon with a specific taste in cars and strange penchants for denim. Seemingly impossible duo really work as they try to find a way to break the contract that sells Bea's callous soul to hell.
Fun. Engaging. Snappy.

Elle Woods but she meets a sexy demon and has to fight a binding contract from hell. If she loses her life as she knows it will be over.
This was such a fun read! I loved Legally Blonde and this book gave me that but with the element of fantasy and whimsy that I love. The mystery elements of this were so intriguing and had me trying to figure out the puzzle along with Bea. I loved the hell world that S.M Bush created and all the political systems within it. There were some really heartwarming moments that had me tearing up, and some moments that had me laughing out loud.
I also think that we all need a hell hound puppy now.

Bea is wrongly accused (framed/setup), of murder and is sent to hell for punishment. This is the story of her attempts to get out of hell. While she's there, Bea tries to find information to release her from hell and prove her innocence. . Her journey is entertaining, scary,, unbelievable, and all consuming. . Take a read.. Bea and her mom hash things out about old wounds. Bea and Char were stupendous in their declarations of love for each other and their sacrifices. See how it ends!! I voluntarily read a free copy of this book provided by book sirens and am giving an honest review.

This was definitely a fun read - I LOVED the build up, the character development, the plot, the characters, all of it. Bea and Char both are fantastic, Bradley and Annalise too. There's plenty of fun surprises and fun twists, a fantastic reveal at the end, definitely enjoyed this read for sure - 10/10 definitely recommend!

This book was so fun to read and a perfect book to put me in the spooky season mood. It definitely reads like Elle Woods meets Hell, in the best way possible. I love the characters and the dynamic between them all. It's a really cute and fun read mixed with a little bit of hellish quirk! I wonder what Cosmo would have to say about Beatrice Calloway.... That jean jacket definitely IS IN! 🩷🎀💅🏻 Can't wait to read more by this author, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I wish I could *poof* but I definitely am NOT signing any contracts.

I got this as my first ever ARC ! I devoured this book! The vibe was cute paranormal romance and I’m here for it! I found that the MCs being so opposite kept the banter fun between them. I typically read heavy dark romance so this was a nice rom com to lift my mood! I found that the author could have maybe went a little more into hell and how the inner workings of it to give more of how she “survived” it. But all together I really enjoyed this!

I love this book. It made me laugh. It moved me. Such an honour to read it before its release.
Bea might flawed, but she’s not ready to lose her soul. A handsome demon named Char shows up after a reputation ruining party. He has come to collect on a deal she never made. This meeting starts Bea off on a chaotic adventure to keep her soul and find out why it was sold in the first place.
It makes for a hilarious, entertaining read! Can't wait to read more from this author.

This was SUCH a fun read with an incredibly original premise that was very well executed. Bea is a wonderfully refreshing FMC who was very easy to root for, and her banter with Char is delicious. If you like your books fast-paced and funny, and you enjoyed things like Legally Blonde and Buffy, you'll love this book.

I picked this book up randomly, just to read something out of my usual genres. It's been more than a decade since I ventured into the YA territory and this year I've decided to try a few indie authors out.
I'm glad to say I thoroughly enjoyed Bea Calloway's Fabulous Guide to Surviving Hell. It was fast, fun, and exciting to read through.
The book is exactly what was promised. It reminded me of all my teenage years spent reading TONS of YA novels.
A fabulous read indeed.

What a wonderfully fun debut novel. This was a cozy paranormal romance that I had a hard time putting down. This book was like if Elle Woods met Little Nicky and I loved every minute of it. Villain was predictable but I enjoyed it all the same. The main characters are likeable and witty, with a solid amount of banter and chemistry. Overall, 4 stars and I'm very excited to see what this author puts out next!
May 16, 2026
This was cute as hell!! Bea’s reluctance to give up her soul quietly was admirable. Char’s increasing horror at finding his new human sidekick’s company enjoyable made me giggle. Add in all the paranormal hoops they have to go through to try to prove Bea’s souls does not belong in Hell and you’ve got quite a duo. The one-liners and the banter throughout the whole book were great!! Think of a less sweet Elle Woods meeting a grungier, more emotionally adept Joe black. A truly enjoyable read!!
May 23, 2026
This was cute and fun but I wanted a little more from it.
She has nightmares. They’re in a hotel with one bed. And he takes the floor for the whole night?? Boooo!
And I’m confused about the mechanism for becoming a demon. They were both humans who “sold their souls” but only one became a demon?
Don’t get me wrong, it was a fun read. Love the concept. Love the friendship development between Bea and Bradley. And I loved the so-ugly-he’s-cute hellhound.

If you’re looking for a fast-paced rom-com with a touch of mystery, this book is a perfect pick.
I really loved it. It made me laugh, tear up, and even try to piece together the mystery alongside the characters. The dynamic between Bae and Char was especially enjoyable, adding both charm and depth to the story. It was such an engaging read that I finished it in a single sitting.

Such a fun goofy love story!
If you are in the market for a romance that doesnt take itself too seriously and will make you snort laugh at the silly dialogue, then this is for you!
This book is Legally Blonde and Beetlejuice duct-taped together! Definitely worth the read! I'm looking forward to the rest of Misery Hills!

This was a delight to read! It’s like a mix of legally blonde and supernatural but uniquely done! I loved the banter, loved the characters. It never went where I thought it was about to go. I really loved Bea. Her character just didn’t change but she also really did. It was just a delight to read and I will definitely be picking up anything else this author does!
August 3, 2026
Cute but still felt a little lacking. I can’t really explain it the whole mystery seemed too obvious and the selection of Hell not that serious. I liked Bea and Char’s connection but I wish they hadn’t fought it for so long. Felt like it was dragging to get them to admit anything to each other even when they both had near death experiences.
Review of advance copy received from Author
It was a good read! It was sweet and cute with a demon twist. The FMC was so easy to imagine because I have met people who acted just like she did at the beginning. She went from kinda annoying to enjoyable and entertaining.
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book and I started reading it immediately, it flowed amazingly, and was easy to follow. The character development was great. The only thing is that the title didn't really relate to the book, there was no guide or anything along the lines of trying to survive hell, yes she did go to hell but she didn't really touch on how to survive when she was there. Tho I really hope this author releases a book 2.

I read this so fast, I didn't even have time to tell anyone I was reading it! I'm OBSESSED! FIVE STARS!! Holy moly!! I could NOT put it down and I was LITERALLY laughing out loud. I went through a lot of emotions in this book joy, sadness, anger, back to joy. Repeat. Char is 100% book boyfriend material. This book is like Legally Blonde and Supernatural had a book baby. 1,000% recommend!!!
