John Milton once wrote, “The mind is its own place, and in itself
can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven,” and there isn’t a
quote, I think, that captures the world of Breaking the Devil’s
Heart quite so well…
Underneath the power, the time travel, the supernatural characters,
is a heartbeat and a story that will stay with you long after you
finish.

“Logic of Demons is a much deeper novel than first appears… The
novel’s main themes of sociology, religion, the human condition and
the whole afterlife question are covered with a great deal of
sensitivity, thought and intelligence… Logic of Demons: The Quest
for Nadine’s Soul is an easy reading, light hearted novel that
manages to convey some important ideas without damaging the twisty
story, with a very original plot and amusing characters,
recommended.”

“A piece of work that makes you think and keeps you thinking… I
found Goodman’s vision of the afterlife to be inventive and
intelligent, as well as wryly amusing (Hell is just a big office
where the demons work in fear and monotony – something that many
will relate to). The story itself is solid and involving, doesn’t
become bogged down and ends with a flourish… In summary I would once
again recommend that you give The Logic of Demons a try.”

“Goodman's debut novel takes readers on an adventure into the
afterworld, showing that choices have consequences that stretch
beyond the present—even beyond this life... Goodman has packed
enough twists and turns into his self-proclaimed fantasy thriller
that even experienced readers will be kept guessing… Goodman's story
is interesting, twisty and thoughtful…”

“Revenge does things to people. Logic of Demons is a story of
vengeance, as a spurned lover wants to avenge the love lost. In the
quest for that vengeance, one may meet many individuals and find
that vengeance may not end in death for the responsible, but for the
soul of the seeker as well. Speaking much on faith, the
supernatural, and the evils of the world, Logic of Demons has plenty
to entice readers, very much recommended.”

“In Logic of Demons, H A Goodman takes us on a rollercoaster of a
ride around the afterlife. It's a very imaginative way of showing us
how all our choices have consequences and that some of those
consequences can be not only unintended but also terrible. He also
makes it clear just how easy it is to quiet our consciences and
listen to the voices of the demons within us.”
The Bookbag

“The author obviously has a great imagination to create such a
twisted and complicated story, yet bring all the story lines to a
satisfying end. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone that
wants to read a great story…Will I read other books by this author?
You bet! He knows how to tell a story!”

“Goodman addresses controversial topics of good and evil along with
religion in this book, and it sucks you in… The complicating
settings and concepts make your mind turn, and I loved that… The
concept is amazing, the story enthralling, and it really is
inspiring. Definitely check it out.”

“This book takes a hard look at right verses wrong and some of the
gray areas, as well as causing me as a reader to think about where I
stand as far as my beliefs, and how I would react to certain
situations and what the consequences would be… Overall, I think H.A.
Goodman has penned a novel that is incredibly unique and thought
provoking. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of
darkness in their fantasy.”

“I enjoyed meeting Templeton and the Boss. Despite Devin’s obvious
fear, it was amusing to see what the author did with those
characters. In fact, they bordered on the absurd, which felt about
right for a different plane of existence… Goodman’s writing is quite
good and he communicates his ideas well… Hal Goodman has a good idea
here and an interesting plot.”

“My personal favourite was the depiction of hell as a corporate
entity complete with board meetings, productivity assessments and
sales divisions. Anyone who has ever worked in an office environment
will be amused by the corporate stereotypes transferred into demonic
personalities. This book was quite unlike anything I’ve read in some
time. Best of all was the radical change in direction towards the
end of the tale that I really did not see coming. All in all an
entertaining read that left me pondering “What would I do if….”

“The story revolves a lot around choices and consequences, which not
only gives us more insight into the book but also into our own
characters as well… The amount of description and detail in this
book offers that the author put a lot of research and thought into
his writing... and it shows. Logic of Demons is a thrill ride full
of twists and turns that will have you holding your breath from the
exhilaration of the experience until the end.”

common thread between Devin and Nadine. Could it be that Devin is
the key to save or condemn Nadine’s soul? I won’t tell you… you’ll
have to find out…looking for a killer plot twist, try this book.”

“I also loved the moral aspect of Logic of Demons and how in the end
one cannot blame ones misdeeds by saying you where led astray…
Another fascinating thing I found while I was reading this book was
the authors take the company and the formula, I thought it was one
of the more interesting ways to depict how shrewd the devil can be…
An interesting and thought provoking read.”

books. I cannot get enough of them. So when the writer asked me if I
wanted to read and review Logic of Demons I immediately said ‘Yes, I

“Logic of Demons is a sad, raw page-turner with a chilling edge,
making for a unique fantasy that succeeds in its goal of being
different - while also being well-written. Startling and riveting,
Devin's plight is horrifying. The mysteries stack up and my interest
was constantly piqued.”

“Logic of Demons is a morality tale that works for all races and
creeds… The heart of Logic of Demons is a good vs. evil morality
tale where Nadine must make a choice that could impact the universe.
Goodman does a great job of playing devil's advocate (pun intended)…
Goodman's debut is a fast and entertaining read that deals with the
age old dilemma of right versus wrong something we all understand.”

“H. A. Goodman takes us on a rapid voyage through space, time and
spirituality. What is good or evil? What are the differences and
more important what are the similarities between the great
religions? The reader can ponder these questions, but is not lead to
a preset conclusion by the author. Some interesting aspects of
religion and fundamentalism are laid bare, and I think it is worth
thinking about it.”

“There are a lot of plot twists I never saw coming, and I was

a story to tell… Logic of Demons explores the blurry lines between

people go to for the people they love.”

protect her. For a teenager she has an amazing amount of wisdom and

a pretty interesting read, one that will cause you think about your

“A lot of the book revolves around choices, and how one single
choice can affect multiple people. It made me more aware of my
decisions and of those made by the people around me… It's hard to
focus on so many challenging topics and still make it into a good
story, but I believe Goodman manages to do just that.”

http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/blog/2011/04/23/publishing-houses-embracing-e-books-what-does-this-mean-for-indies-and-self-publishers/
“The Logic of Demons” is a phenomenally written story. The first
word that came to my mind when I finished reading it was “WOW!” The
plot takes many twists and turns that helped keep my mind totally
caught up in the story... “Logic of Demons” takes things to the
extreme, into the supernatural realm where you must know who you can
trust because the consequences of being deluded into false actions
can have a profound effect on a person’s life through eternity. This
book is definitely a must read!
