The Wretched
Lucifer has been expelled to a place worse than Hell…Tucson, Arizona.
Having lost everything to the usurper Beelzebub, Lucifer finds himself trapped on earth, the one place he can die. Without options and shit out of luck, he does the unthinkable and realigns with his old nemesis, God, for a shot at vengeance against Beelzebub.
But there is a price.
Earth has been overrun by evil forces and God needs Lucifer to clean house. Forced to work with a band of redemption seeking degenerates, Lucifer must learn to put aside his hatred for mankind and learn to trust his teammates or they will not survive. Assisting Lucifer in his quest to liberate the world is the hot-tempered immortal Lilith, stoner Adam, a resurrected hit-man, and a witch with a pesky undead feline familiar called Dead Meat.
And they only have three days.
With the clock ticking, Lucifer must get his unwanted team up to snuff for their first mission while being hunted by his ex-wife, Agrat. Their mission is to assassinate an earthbound Demon Lord named Hornblas, who parades around as the head of the largest music conglomerate in the world.
And it gets worse.
Their contracts with God prohibit them from killing innocents or falling back into their sinful ways. Failure results in immediate banishment to Hell and certain death for Lucifer.
Filled with angels and demons, trips to Hell, and other supernatural beasties, The Wretched follows Lucifer through an ever-increasing vortex of trouble across the Copper State with a final climactic realization leading to the unraveling of Lucifer himself.

I came across The Wretched: Lucifer Chronicles and found it to be an entertaining and wildly imaginative read. Jason Guinn blends dark humor, thrilling action, and unique characters in a story that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Lucious and his unconventional team bring both chaos and charm, making the journey unpredictable and fun. I genuinely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves adventurous, darkly comedic fantasy.
