Reviews

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 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!”

“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.”

“While reading this, I often thought that personal tragedy was the 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.”

“If you read my blog frequently you can tell that I adore paranormal 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 accept’. And I am glad I did, because it delivered! The plot is amazing. There are a lot of twist and turns and even a surprise at the end which I didn’t see coming.”

“Logic of Demons is a very deep book. It takes religion and morals into great consideration… Overall, Logic of Demons: The Quest for Nadine's Soul is an endless battle between right and wrong, and coming to terms with has happened. Also, how you can't change time, no matter how many times you wish to go back in time and erase the bad memories. *I feel like I'm not doing this book enough justice.”

“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.”

Bibliophile Support Group
http://bibliophilesupportgroup.blogspot.com/2011/02/logic-of-demons-quest-for-nadines-soul.html


“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.”

Well, this novel takes that image so much further than you could even imagine. … I would recommend this book because of its interesting and unique concept. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.”

“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 constantly engaged. This is a very unique storyline and Goodman has a story to tell… Logic of Demons explores the blurry lines between right and wrong, just and unjust. It also shows what great lengths people go to for the people they love.”

“Nadine is a beautiful soul. I SO desperately wanted to save her and protect her. For a teenager she has an amazing amount of wisdom and knowledge. Natalia is also a very lovely character, full of compassion and love… Logic of Demons: The Quest for Nadine’s Soul is a pretty interesting read, one that will cause you think about your own views on yourself and on what you believe in.”

“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.”

“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!
