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!

I don't think this book is marketed very well - I was expecting more of a darkly funny supernatural story, and while there were aspects of that (some real funny characters in hell) it was mostly a family mystery. So overall it was a fine book (not a lot of character depth but I thought the pacing was excellent for a debut novel) but not something that's really in my wheelhouse. 
I did like that there were some parts of the mystery you could work out for yourself while still having some surprising twists

This book would’ve been better as a thriller without any of the paranormal/hell/demon stuff. It sounded cool but those were the parts that bored me. Reading about the family on earth was interesting, but overall could’ve been done better.

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.
