For Love of Evil, by Piers Anthony is the sixth book in his Incarnations of Immortality series and the first I read. coincidently he wrote it so that you would not have to have read the other five too follow its contents. I liked it because it shows that everyone has evil in them and anyone can be turned, but it also shows that there are different kinds of good and evil, it is not all black and white. A great story with an even greater ending. I wish I could recommend it for people of all ages, but sadly I can not because it is definitely for young adults. ( )

Characters: The protagonist is just great. Still love that guy.
Plot: Very solid. Fits the other Immortality series.
Style: Classic Piers Anthony. I like it and so do a ton of others. Fairly serious. ( )

This series is definitely very YA. They are easy reads but enjoyable. A very unique concept. ( )

I read the ending because I already owned it. ( )

White magician turned, or, baby, Lilith would SO corrupt you too.

Happily minding their own business, a magical family is attacked by violent christian nuts. His father and wife killed, tortured and killed, respectively, he is easy prety for a demoness.

However, he rebels against Lucifer and saves said woman from the head evil dude's final attack. As a consequence, there is an Incarnation opening and rather than have someone much worse take it up, he agrees to do it.

Bit of a problem with this office, though, or, as The Animals ask: "Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380752859, Mass Market Paperback)

The Man Who Would Be Satan

Parry was a gifted musician and an apprentice in the arts of White Magic. But his life of sweet promise went disastrously awry following the sudden, violent death of his beloved Jolie.

Led down the twisted path of wickedness and depravity by Lilah the harlot demoness, Parry thrived -- first as a sorceror, then as a monk, and finally as a feared inquisitor.

But it wasn't until his mortal flame was extinguished that Parry found his true calling -- as the Incarnation of Evil. And, at the gates of Hell, he prepared to wage war on the master himself -- Lucifer, the dark lord -- with dominion over the infernal realms the ultimate prize!
