The bars serve only Jäegermeister instead of cold beer is definition my own kind of hell! Happy belated birthday to this dark comedy meets twisty thriller! 🥳🍺

This is absurd, smart, morbid, entertaining, dark comedy meets murder mystery and dysfunctional family drama! Do you enjoy Christopher Moore and Grady Hendrix novels? If your answer is yes, you don’t wanna miss this one!

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.

Peyton, one of the suffering characters, climbing corporate hell ladders by working at 5th floor ( if you’re capable to survive at downstairs, rest of it is easy peasy), working hard to seal the deal with Harrison family by manipulating one of them to sign up a contract! See, those people never made those deals directly with the deal!!!

If Peyton manages to convince that person from Harrison family, he’ll have a complete set! That complete could be also a key to his secret scheme. But his new colleague Calamity, a naive girl keeps giving deer in the headlights looks can ruin his plan. She may also have her own secret agenda.

What about the mighty, dysfunctional, estranged Harrisons? The family is all set to take a family vacation at their New Hampshire house!

There are so many secrets lurking around Harrison family members. Silas, teaching business at school, still trying to connect with his dead brother who might be a murderer as his wife Lily is having a secret affair with a man connected with their own past. Their son Sean lives in his room, buried his head into video games behind locked doors, living disconnected from the entire family as youngest, 12 years old Mickey suffers from puberty problems, bullying schoolmates till she finds her best friend, the coolest girl of the school: Ruth. Mickey convinces her father to invite Ruth for their family holiday.

But going back that house means confronting the tragic events from the past. What happened the night Sarah, 17 years old girl who has been killed? Is Silas’ brother the real killer?

It seems like you read two other stories: one of them is family’s drama and mystery’s unfolding. The other one is a trip to the hell, a place where pens, coffee machines are not working,
Jäegermeister is only liquor that served at bars!

I enjoyed the world building: how the officers make deals, manipulating people, how they change events and looking from glass part was another brilliant addition!

Overall: the ending was spectacular. The sarcastic, entertaining, intelligent writing enchanted me!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.
