The Witchstone by Henry H. Neff

At first, I was attracted to The Witchstone because the cover is my favorite color, orange.  But after reading it, Henry H. Neff impressed me with the content.  It reminded me of a couple other of my favorite authors, John Connolly and Christopher Moore.  You start in New York City following a low-level demon, Laszlo and his unsatisfying but understandable life as a Curse Keeper.  Hell is a bureaucracy, of course, and there are executives, managers and drones. What could be more hellish? Laszlo is the keeper of the Drakeford Curse and under new management must actually, gross, work.  Maggie Drakeford is the next in line for the family curse and can feel herself changing into the monster that has already claimed so many in her family.  She, who has never left the Catskills must go all over the world to gather what is needed to save herself and end the curst.  Maggie and Laszlo have to work together to break it, but can they trust each other?
