Sign Here by Claudia Lux
5.0
“You see, bars in Hell only serve Jägermeister.”
4.5 stars rounded up!
I had very low expectations going into this. Sign Here has been sitting on my shelf since 2022. It was a Book of the Month pick that sounded intriguing, but every time I went to grab it, something else caught my interest more. It's hard to pinpoint its genre—it's funny but dark. The story revolves around a guy who works in Hell (literally, envision Hell as corporate America), specifically in the Deals department where they prey on vulnerable humans still on the surface. The story follows a massive deal the main character is working on, his involvement in it, and a colleague's attempt to manage her own big break, and it all comes together in the end in a way I did definitely did not see coming. There is no morally grey, the characters are bleak with little morals. Yet, it's incredibly interesting and I regret not reading this sooner.
