John Walker had a surprise in mind for his wife. His satellite radio had a surprise in store for him. The voice on the radio, a person named Zell, offers to solve all of John’s problems for him. In return, John has to agree to a small, insignificant payback.

Fortunately, he's got a voice now and access to all those fun skills he couldn't before use.

Ren has never held an iPhone, googled the answer to a question, or followed a crush on social media. What she has done: read a book or two, or three (okay, hundreds). Taught herself to paint. Built a working wind-power system from scratch. But for all the books she’s read, Ren has never found one that’s taught a woman raised on a homestead and off the grid for most of her 22 years how to live in the real world. So when she finally achieves her lifelong dream of attending Corona College, it feels like her life is finally beginning.

Чтобы жизнь медом не казалась, я на свою голову заключаю договор с демоном. За определенную плату он обещает помочь мне очаровать профессора Моргана, в которого я, как кошка, влюблена с первого курса академии. Вот только советы демона странные и вредительские. Следуя им, я попадаю из одной курьезной ситуации в другую, и вот уже несчастный профессор шарахается от меня, как от сумасшедшей.
