For some reason, I went into this expecting it to be dark comedy. It’s really, really not. Also, I spent the whole book expecting Silas to assault Ruth or smth. That didn’t happen (so no adult/minor stuff, thankfully), but it was extremely creepy. 

Cal’s backstory was interesting, if a bit too convoluted. I really wanted to like Pey, but he was just too bland. 

Overall, it was dark, unnecessarily sexual and the characters a bit underdeveloped. But not bad.

Reading a book about Hell where all of the things you despise the most are part of the world-building is so incredibly validating. 

I postponed finishing this book so I could spend more time with it; SUCH a fun story with plot twists and humor.

Very compelling spin on “making deals with the devil”. Pacing is quick but not messy, and with the short chapters I loved getting snippets of every characters thoughts as the story progressed. I was confused in parts about what was fantasy and what was reality, but I think that was part of the plot as a whole.
