Publisher's summary
Charm Livingston's life is hell, literally. As a vengeance demon, she resides in the underworld until a furious soul calls upon her to exact revenge in exchange for 10 years in hell. Being a demon is bad enough, but as the daughter of the devil himself she has very little wiggle room for escape. And escaping is all she's ever dreamed of, leaving the bowels of hell and becoming human is the one dream she knows she cannot have... or can she?
When a man is murdered by one of her fellow demons, the now grieving fiancé calls upon Charm for help. Charm's psychometric power helps her replay the events leading up to the man's death. In the midst of arranging justice for her client she meets the angel that was the killer's target. He's injured and she saves his life, despite the repercussions her actions could have on her own soul. Daddy dearest wants the angel dead, and she derails the devil's plans.
In return, the angel agrees to help Charm with her greatest wish, except that ascension isn't going to be easy. She'll need to pass through the 13 levels of the underworld by passing 13 tests in order to overcome the realm of purgatory and reach the Hall of Akashic Records where her soul can be reborn.

Story
When I was four years old, my inept biological parents decided they wanted to summon a demon. They planned to summon one and control him so they could gain riches. However, they didn't realize you can't control a demon, you can only enter into an agreement with them, and so their demon was able to walk out of the summoning circle that they didn't close properly.

Story
January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb.... As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends - and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is.

Story
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

A New Look At The Underworld...in a fun way
Loved the story. The author brought about some fun and new ideas of what 'hell' is supposed to look like...from a demon's point of view. The writing was easy to follow and loved the story line. Feels like this one ended too soon, but, then again it is just 'Book 1'. Once again, Rebecca Roberts (one of my favorite narrators) shined through in her narration of the story. With her reading, I feel like I'm right there in the midst of it all and seeing it first hand. Her ability to keep me focused during the narration and not just during the conversations is special indeed. All in all, I am looking forward to listening to the next book in the series!! Definitely recommend this to everyone.

A Fun Paranormal Story...
I received this audio book as a gift in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. Charm Livingston's father runs the underworld. More than anything Charm just wants to be a normal person. Read along with this fun paranormal story as Charm bends over backwards trying to be good. This book is fun, exciting and humorous too!
The author, Jami Brumfield did a good job writing this book. I like her sense of humor and wit as it shows throughout the book. Hell doesn't always have to be a bad place! The narrator, Rebecca Roberts did a good job delivering this story to us flawlessly with her multiple voices. Great job to both of you!

The fun side of hell
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, It has a lot of humor weaved into a mystery. There are a lot of interesting characters that will probably be impotent in later books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Faris (the genie) was really funny and I’d like to see more of him. I also liked how one of Charm‘s friends reminded me of Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Hell is ever better than you ever imagined
Those of us of a certain age remember Flip Wilson’s character Geraldine saying “The Devil made me do it” as justification for whatever mess she was in. When the AudioBlast newsletter featured “Father Made Me Do It” I was definitely interested. I read the synopsis and listened to the sample then requested a free review copy.
“Father Made Me Do It” is the first book in a new series about Lucifer’s daughter, Charm. Note: Most of Lucifer’s children have very interesting names like “Charm” or “Lovely”. Charm is an unhappy demon. She wants to be human. In order to do so she must complete challenges (reminding me of the Herculean Labors) to complete her ascension to the human world. Charm will need help to accomplish her goal. She must enlist the aid of her friends from hell (they live in hell but they are rather good friends) and accept, grudgingly the help of an angel. Oh, the angel happens to be hot and they have a very strong mutual attraction.
The story was very well written. It is told from Charm’s point of view. One of the first things you learn about Charm is that she is not the stereotypical demon. She is not happy to be in hell but as she states, “Eternity is slightly bearable when you have friends like mine.” Change the word eternity to life and you have a statement that all of us can relate to. Charm’s voice is strong and is never lost even when dealing with her domineering father. Lucifer as a father, literally the father from hell, is wickedly delightful as a character. The interactions between Charm and her father had a natural cadence. Each time they spoke or Charm related part of her life with him, you came to understand both of them better.
“Father Made Me Do It” was very original. The organization and hierarchy of hell, the residents (willing and otherwise), and the demon’s individual jobs were all presented in a unique way. Imagine demons punching a timeclock and having trade unions. Every aspect of the story, from Charm herself, to the main plot, were well written.
The narration by Rebecca Roberts was first rate. She conveys Charm’s attitude with every word. Ms. Roberts can convey cynicism, rebellion, frustration and infatuation in very believable tones. I had no trouble understanding Charm’s feelings at any point in the story because Ms. Roberts did such a fine job of communicating them to me. The production values were very good. The sound was clear. I did not find one error (mispronounced word, repeated words, intrusive sound or throat clearing) in this recording. It really was very well done.
“Father Made Me Do It” is the first book in a series called “Demon Ascension”. I am hoping that the author, Jami Brumfield, used Rebecca Roberts to narrate the entire series. Ms. Roberts has become Charm’s voice for me. I cannot imagine anyone else narrating.
I enjoyed “Father Made Me Do It” as an audiobook so much I purchased the Kindle version. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Hell has never been so much fun.

Demons!
I enjoyed this story and I couldn't stop listening to Father Made Me Do It until the story ended. think Jami has created a great story, filled with intrigue, surprises, love, and even compassion in this unique story of demons. I especially liked Charm Livingston who happens to be a Vengeance Demon. I'll be looking for more in this new series, Demon Ascension. Sorry, I won't be giving away any spoilers here. I can only mention that this is a great story and I highly recommend that you get this audio as soon as you can, you won't regret it.
Another great narration by Rebecca Roberts. I thought it was narrated extremely well. I felt she brought this story to life and it was like I was watching it unfold as my eyes were closed and hearing this story. Rebecca didn't have any problems distinguishing accents and voices and I didn't have any problems identifying each character throughout this story. Overall, I give this a perfect 5 star rating!

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
I love Rebecca Roberts narrations..and this book was really fun to listen to! I was pleasantly surprised, because I wasn't expecting funny....and this book was hilarious! Charm is a vengeance demon and her dad is the devil, she lives in hell and has a kinda cool life...She meets and rescues an angel while she is out collecting souls and there is sparks! Lots of funny situations in this book...and the characters are great, I cant wait for book 2! I highly recommend this quick listen...its a cute story and narrated to perfection!

Deliciously dark... I NEED more
What did you love best about Father Made Me Do It?
Is it bad that I loved the idea of Charm's rebellion against her father??? Then add on top the whole Angel/ Demon/ paranormal realms info...
What did you like best about this story?
EVERYTHING!! I was busy crafting, but found myself stopping throughout the narration to hear parts.
Have you listened to any of Rebecca Roberts’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listened to any of Rebbecca's previous performances, so I can't honestly compare.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed in a few places, but I didn't cry... that may differ if I was to read the book too.
Any additional comments?
I'm not sure why I haven't read this book, but having listened to it... I feel I must & soon, just so I can get a feel for the characters more. I can't wait to read/listen to what comes next in this series.

A comedic look at hell.
Would you consider the audio edition of Father Made Me Do It to be better than the print version?
Yes, I would. I enjoy Rebecca Roberts' audio work, and I feel that she added a lot to the book by way of her performance. The elements of the book which I felt were a little bit weaker were given strength by the narration.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I felt that the ending was rushed, which was not the fault of the narration but rather the plotting. I felt that the relationships between the characters served to improve the book quite a bit and I enjoyed how those elements were dealt with as the book wrapped up.
What does Rebecca Roberts bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Each character came to life. Hearing their dialogue (and the dialogue was fairly good throughout the book, as written) in the proper intonation adds a lot to the book for me. Hearing their emotions as well.This was another solid outing by Rebecca Roberts and I will be continuing to buy books which she narrates.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did want to listen to it all in one sitting, but I wasn't able to even though it is short--not anyone's fault, just a scattered week!
Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
Overall I felt the narration was the strongest part of the book. I also enjoyed a lot of the humor, but felt that pacing of the story, as well as some elements of what constitutes "hell" didn't work for me. Also this was a mix of Christian and polytheistic beliefs which was at times difficult to reconcile i.e. it just seemed a little bit uneven in world building (i.e. elements of the text.) It was still fun to discover layers of how the world worked, however.
I am not a big reader of series, so my opinion is somewhat biased in that direction of mostly reading standalone fiction and nonfiction. However, I love some of the plot elements of this series and the premise hooked me well. I enjoyed the tone of the book, although overall some of the comedy fell flat for me, not because of narration but because of content.

Great for a quick and entertaining read
This book wasn't really long enough for the kind of depth I crave and seek out especially in my audiobooks, but it WAS a fun read. It was full of supernatural creatures and the author came up with a very playful non scary way to point hell.
Rebecca Roberts did an excellent job as the narrator , I loved the voice she used for the main character, Charm.
I give this book an overall 4 stars instead of 3 because of the awesome narrator!
