She has horns, a tail, a surprisingly impressive resume, and one very unusual request.She needs a job.Not because she wants spending money. Not because she’s bored. But because if she can’t find legitimate employment and complete one full shift before her deadline, she’ll be dragged back to Hell for another three hundred years of service.Unfortunately, finding a job isn’t easy when your previous experience involves soul accounting, infernal contracts, and occasionally turning difficult customers into beetles.With the help of his overly curious best friend, Ethan must teach Mara how to survive job interviews, handle human customers, and resist the temptation to solve every workplace problem with supernatural powers.But when a sinister collector named Mr. Voss arrives to enforce the rules, their ridiculous employment adventure becomes a race against time.Can a demon earn her freedom with an ordinary paycheck? Or is Hell’s most terrifying weapon actually its human resources department?The Demon in My Basement Wants a Job is a quirky supernatural comedy filled with strange friendships, workplace disasters, unexpected heart, and a demon who just wants the right to quit.
