Peyote Trip works in hell—literally—and he’s one sold soul away from a “Complete Set” and the rewards that will come with it. But when he meets newly assigned Calamity Ganon, all his carefully laid plans begin to go awry.
I had high hopes for this one, and it absolutely delivered. I was immediately obsessed with the writing style, which is equal parts hilarious and poignant, and the concept is brilliant—disturbing, fascinating, and nuanced in all the best ways.
I actually did not expect the plot to include an element of murder mystery, but given that those are my favorite books to read I was thrilled that it did. The characters and plot were incredibly well developed, and I was honestly sad to finish the book because I didn’t want to leave the world that Lux developed…a particularly weird thing to say when that “world” is literally hell, but there you have it.
In short—I need everyone to read this book, immediately.
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: dark humor; moral greyness; mysteries with a unique frame
CW: Torture/gore; death; child abuse; infidelity; self-harm.
