for millennia, peyote "pey" trip has worked his way up through the levels of hell, and now he's on the fifth level, making deals and eagerly watching the harrison family -- if he can get a deal from one more of them, it'll make a "complete set" and he will be up for a long-awaited promotion. meanwhile, the harrisons are on their annual trip to their lake home in new hampshire, and this year they've brought their daughter mickey's charismatic new friend ruth along with them -- and ruth is going to change everything.

this was very fun. it started out rather silly as all the best depictions of hell do (i am thinking of you the good place) and also made me think a bit about hellhole by gina damico for no reason other than it also being a horror-comedy involving hell and demons. i enjoyed pey's storyline a lot. the harrisons' i liked a bit less because while it started good and ended EXCELLENT there was a lot of family drama and adultery in the middle which was a bit boring but OH HHHH (view spoiler) . i really enjoyed all of the end of the book . both storylines. i was a bit confused on what was going on with cal sometimes but that's ok. and i liked the silly worldbuilding of hell and i flew through this book, it was super engaging for the most part :)
