I hated all of the characters. The ending wasn't as confusing as some reviewers have made it out to be.

I have complaints about this book but I kept reading and felt drawn to the actual plot. The writing style wasn't my favorite: the dialogue was unrealistic, there were too many exclamation points, it was trying too hard at times, and some of the characters felt 2-dimensional (KQ; Trey; Sean, at the beginning). It began as a 2-star but as I continued, it bumped up to 2.5, and then my final rating of 3. It was doing a lot at once but the main plot interested me, was easy to read a lot at once, and I wanted to see how it would end. I would try reading this author again.

Uggh... I kept waiting for this to get better but it never did. 
Darkly comical? No, maybe the whole hell like an office job, some people are finding funny. Meh.
I didn't really find anything about this intriguing or very original. There was one twist in the saga of the Harrison's that was a bit unexpected, but nothing crazy or very exciting there.

4.5

I read this book start to finish in one day while sick in bed. The moment I picked it up, I couldn't put it down and wanted to get to the resolution. The story was light, snarky, and refreshing as a new take on making a deal with the devil, while still being very dark and morbid. This makes me think of a cross of The Good Place and Dead Like Me. Some subject matter felt iffy and unnecessary to the plot,

especially the parts that veered on pedophilia for Silas.

I also think the least "tight" part of the story was the HR report. It felt like it didn't match the style of an HR report and gave too much narrative/emotion, which brought me out of the story trying to skim to the next part. The backstory that is brought up in the report is important to a part of the story, but imo was a little boring and could have been shorten considerably. That is the only reason I'm not giving this a straight 5.
