Lux’s take is fresh and complex, with deep character development and a plot that will keep readers guessing.”

A darkly humorous, surprisingly poignant, and utterly gripping debut novel about a guy who works in Hell (literally) and is on the cusp of a big promotion if only he can get one more member of the wealthy Harrison family to sell their soul. I liked both timelines. I wanted Peyote to get his fifth generation for sure. None of the Harrisons were very likable yet I started to care for them. Well maybe not all of them, since Silas was kind of creepy around Ruth.Speaking of her version of Hell... am I the only one who enjoys Jager? It's not that bad. Give me Jager over room temperature, cheap Vodka any day! Cheers to that 🍻 Overall, this unique, thought-provoking, and entertaining novel has great characterization, and a tense and suspenseful part three. Those who relish mild horror with family drama and suspense may enjoy this book.

Waller-Bridge is repped by UTA, Hatton McEwan Penford, Independent Talent and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole. I still can’t believe this was a debut novel! Claudia Lux needs to be writing books for the rest of her life because if she can write such a fun novel that allowed me to escape from the stress in my life with such ease.⁣ Meanwhile, in the land of the living, the Harrison family consists of Silas Harrison, his wife Lily, eldest

Lux's take is fresh and complex, with deep character development and a plot that will keep readers guessing." - Booklist This was an intriguing debut novel. I liked the description of how Hell works in this world, just like any A clever, fun, and uniquely original story about a guy, Peyote, who works in hell. His job is to collect souls from desperate people on earth. He's been working on the troubled, wealthy Harrison family for decades. He only needs one more Harrison soul to complete the coveted set of 5. As soon I read the first line of Sign Here, I wanted to read more. It turned out I did have a lot of ideas about what Hell might be like. Author Claudia Lux managed to replace many of them with some of her own. In an effort to gain more human souls for Hell, KQ teams Pey, Trevor and Cal. Pey takes compassion of

There are too many POVs, short, impactful chapters, interesting, flawed, peculiar characters in this novel. And surprise, surprise: the incidents take place in both hell and earth. office hahaha. The reader gets small descriptions here and there about details that make being in Hell In essence, I enjoyed Peyote and all the descriptions of Hell and his job, but everything else fell flat. It was somewhat fun and funny, a little bit thrilling, but never enough of either to make an impact. Final Thoughts One plot focuses on a demon(?)/ former-human-suffering-eternal-damnation in Hell and his new coworker/buddy, Cal. This was the plot that had drawn me into this book, as the author seemed to have an original take on Hell-- the closer to the "Downstairs" you got, the worse your suffering. Naturally, our MC, Peyote Trip, is on one of the more "comfier" levels of Hell, where the extent of his suffering is immeasurable puddles, bars that only serve jägermeister, and radios that play solely your least favorite music. It was highly remeniscient of The Good Place at first, but got old really fast, especially in how cyclical and repetitive it was.

The only thing I wish was that this had been Claudia Lux's second or third published work instead of a debut. This reads like a debut. It felt like she had so many great ideas and was afraid of not getting another opportunity, so tossed them all into this book. With more experience, I think her work will soar. This needed a bit more editing and polishing. I just hate that it's already out there. She can't rewrite it. I liked this book a lot but it could have been 5 stars. Just some missed potential which is sad to see. Lux brilliantly combines satire, suspense, and pathos in her remarkably assured debut…Lux balances the whodunit plot and her antihero’s quest perfectly as the action builds to a surprisingly moving place. Readers of paranormal crime series such as Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files will be eager to see what Lux has up her sleeve next.”
