About this audiobook

Featuring a preface by C. S. Lewis biographer and editor Walter Hooper, Richard Pratt's As One Devil to Another takes up where the legendary Narnia author's Screwtape Letters left off. In this gripping work, senior devil Slashreap corresponds with his protege Scardagger. As Satan's underlings exchange dark musings, light is shed on human failings, the nature of evil, and God's divine intent.

    This book was cute! I fell in love with Sawyer and Clover. Sawyer needed a buffer to save him from his matchmaking mama. So his crazy brother, sends an add for someone, to come to his rescue. Enter Clover, she needs a temporary position so that she can save money to go to Australia. Sawyer is about to send all the buffers in his office away, since he thinks it ridiculous and that he does not need one, but when his mother enters with two candidates, Clover gets up and sends his mother away. Sawyer is shocked and hires her on the spot. The banter between these two was funny, and their chemistry was awesome. Enjoy!

    The book begins with a shot that misses the target and plummets into a story of similes. The comparison starts as entertaining and quickly fall into a haze deeper than noire fiction. I enjoyed, for a while, the resemblance to the writing of Raymond Chandler, but the English setting hindered this reproduction. Frank Bale, like a battered Don Quixote, goes in search of truth and justice, but instead finds walls and detours. Not every hero rides a magnificent stead and win every battle, but this antihero needs more character.

    The immediate plot is the unsolved mystery of the death of a high school girl who is found dead in a locked closet. Decades have passed and Mona (central character) takes it upon herself to see that justice is done. Other subplots include her getting in touch with her Native American roots by spending the Summer with her grandfather, expressing her love for music by singing and playing her guitar and two boys who are competing for her affections. I would assume the book is geared toward young adults but my copy doesn't indicate that. A promising start to a new trilogy.

    This book reminded me of the other book that Beverly and her husband wrote together. I believe the man in that book also worked in flying. The tone of both books is pleasant and has that healing aspect that all of Beverly's books impart. However, while I enjoyed the book, I didn't find the characters as absorbing as they are normally in her novels. Somehow they were a bit flat--they lacked something. I didn't feel, as I usually do, that I was in it with them, struggling alongside them through everything. It felt like the novel had no real center, but that it was split between Jack and Kelly. That said, I still enjoyed the story. I like the way she completes stories--in a way that gives satisfaction and hope. She reminds me very much of Janette Oke in this. Just as in life there are ups and downs and her characters weather everything, trudging through no matter what--running the race. I admire this and it gives the reader hope, peace, and encouragement.

    I have always been a fan of “The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. After reading this book I can say that if C.S. Lewis was still alive I would believe that this book was a sequel to his book. We meet Slashreap and Scardaggar. Slashreap is a demon who is mentoring his nephew Scardaggar in the fine points of corrupting people. This is a book that points out the subtle ways Satan makes every day things we do appear to be benign. It’s scary to read a book like this and realize as you are reading, ‘Hey that was me’.The letters from Slashreap to his nephew Scardaggar focus on everything from gluttony and over-consuming, to sexual depravity. You know those things we don’t need that we buy, “just because”, and those movies that have just a little bit of sexual content to them. Slashreap wants to make sure his nephew does everything he can to bring the “client” to the gates of hell. They speak of Christ as the adversary. I am sure that is how Satan sees him.I was taken aback by how easily our society has slipped up. We isolate ourselves with gadgets. We separate ourselves from our friends and children, wasting valuable time we could give to God with “things”. This is not only a modern retelling of “The Screwtape Letters”, but so much more. This should be read by every Christian. So many of these things didn’t seem important to me until I had finished the book. I had to look at the book and realize there were so many areas I actually became the “client”. This was something that I then needed to spend time praying about.
