Babe by Arreah Bihary

Heaven tasks him with the protection of the next prophet and the forces of Hell seek their destruction.

The problem is, he doesn’t want the jobs given to him, and he doesn’t want to decide. This makes both sides very angry, and has them sending their forces against humankind to nudge him towards a decision.

Babe is a powerful half demonic half angelic creature. His appearance is thanks to his time spent in Hell, but walking among man his angelic qualities mask them and has the weak-minded folks falling for him thinking he’s the most handsome guy ever, thus his name Babe.

Princess Beelzebub of Hell and the Underworld by Tilly Holt

Trapped in the war-torn nightmare of her kingdom, Bee is destined to take up the Unholy Crown of her mother and rule Hell as Queen. She wants nothing more than to leave it all behind. Her final hope is the world that captured her childhood; the world in the books and legends, a light in the encroaching shadow.

Earth.

Fleeing the Dark Palace with the (stolen) Sword of Hades at her side, Bee turns her back on Hell and the blood-soaked destiny she was born into, for the world she grew up dreaming about.
