A darkly humorous, surprisingly poignant, and utterly gripping debut novel about a guy who works in Hell (literally) and is on the cusp of a big promotion if only he can get one more member of the wealthy Harrison family to sell their soul.

Peyote Trip has a pretty good gig in the deals department on the fifth floor of Hell. Sure, none of the pens work, the coffee machine has been out of order for a century, and the only drink on offer is Jägermeister, but Pey has a plan—and all he needs is one last member of the Harrison family to sell their soul.

When the Harrisons retreat to the family lake house for the summer, with their daughter Mickey’s precocious new friend, Ruth, in tow, the opportunity Pey has waited a millennium for might finally be in his grasp. And with the help of his charismatic coworker Calamity, he sets a plan in motion.

But things aren’t always as they seem, on Earth or in Hell. And as old secrets and new dangers scrape away at the Harrisons’ shiny surface, revealing the darkness beneath, everyone must face the consequences of their choices.

A Devilishly Satiating Read

Let's start with the fact that the narration in this book is phenomenal. The narrators do a superb job of delivering every modicum of sass, humour, or anxiety that the characters are facing. Narration should enhance the story, not detract from it, and they certainly accomplish this by leagues.

The story itself is a quick read (or listen in this case) and does a great job of teasing out the next big 'twist'. Since this is a book about Hell, there's a fair amount of grim humour, but it's always tounge in cheek and the whole idea of Hell just being a mediocore office job is a fun premise.

The relationship between Peyote and Cal steals the show, but each character gets a grand opportunity to come into thier own and you get an appreciation for each one. I don't typically get emotional while reading about characters, but I'd be lying if I wasn't silently rooting for each one.

At the end of the day, I'd highly recommend this book as a fun and charming read.

This was so good!

the story is magnificent. I really loved the description of hell and of how everything is connected.

Perfect Read for the season

I can’t give a review without spoiling it but, know that you need this one.
The performance is perfection. I heart Pey
The ending comes out of nowhere
It’s just an awesome read and listen

unique and unpredictable

It was really a great read. Kept me entertained and guessing! I liked the male narrator the most. His voices were so great and different.

This book has everything

Imagination, of course. Along with that there is phycology, hope, love, revenge, philosophy, surprise, horror, cruelty, and the best descriptions I’ve read in a long time. I’m giving it to all my friends.
