 Loved the synopsis, but the execution was average at best. 

On the positive side, the worldbuilding and rules behind how Hell works was impressive. I am glad the author took her time explaining to the readers how it works and it seemed like it was cohesive. I also loved the characters in Hell (Pey, Cal, etc.) because it was like they were morally ambiguous characters (given that they were in Hell for different reasons). The worldbuilding peaked my interest the most because there was this whole corporate hierarchal vibe going so I commend the author for dedicating her time to the worldbuilding. 

However, I wasn’t really a fan of the alternating points of view, particularly with the Harrisons (the alternation between Cal and Pey would’ve been fine). As I read along, it felt like I was reading separate stories, with the overlap between the Harrisons and Pey being miniscule. If the Harrisons storyline was removed and focused more on the lore and the backstory of Pey and Cal, it would’ve sufficed. But if you dig family mystery and teenage trauma, maybe you won’t mind the Harrisons plotline. 

Anyways, a fun read but some parts were a hit and miss for me.

Hell is yucky and unlucky 😎

These two quotes describe the book perfectly:

Love is all-powerfull, untill you learn first-hand what happens when a vegetable peeler meets the far-back surface of your tongue. 

Who was the first person to seek comfort in another? 
Did it work? 
And if not who was brave enough to try again?

3/5⭐️

The vibes were there! Think Hasbin Hotel/Helluva Boss with a family summer mystery added in. If you are a person who usually likes morally gray characters and multiple POVs, this book may be for you. Also, very short chapters are a plus!
