Hades has a hell of a firewall in this WebMage novel from Kelly McCullough.
Not just any computer geek can hack into Hades. But Ravirn, a direct descendant of one of the three Fates, is no ordinary hacker. Magic has gone digital in the twenty-first century, and Ravirn is a sorcerer with a laptop—otherwise known as his shape-changing best friend.
These days, Ravirn’s crashing at his girlfriend's place while she works on her doctorate in computer science. Only one problem: all of her research is in her webgoblin's memory, which is now in Hades along with its soul. To save Cerice's webgoblin (and her PhD), Ravirn must brave Hell itself. But can he do it without corrupting the mweb—the magical internet—and without facing down the Lord of the Dead himself?

“The second installment of the Webmage series picks up about a year or so after the first book. While it is definitely better to read them in order, the book does a decent job summarizing what happened previously without being a dull info-dump. Ravirn is outcast from his place in the House of Fate and has been renamed "Raven"... which brings a whole host of new powers and problems. The biggest problem is rescuing a webgoblin's soul from Hades. Piece of cake, right? Not when Persephone enters the picture. (And this book follows the darker version of the relationship between Persephone and Hades... There is no love between them. At all. And for good reason.) Like the first book, it is a fast-paced romp through magical cyberspace that delves deeper into the underpinnings of Ravirn's world. Fans of Harry Dresden, Percy Jackson, and computer hacking (or any other fans of urban fantasy and unique world-building) will probably enjoy this book. And Cerberus is great, just FYI.”
