Happy Hour in Hell

The border between noir and horror was crossed in this book. It's straight up horror. Bobby Dollar spends ninety percent of the book traveling through hell and doing what he does best. Getting “the point” beaten into him until he FINALLY figures it out. I'm not a horror reader and find the genre pointless is most cases.

I'm hoping the third book focuses on heaven and makes Bobby go through compelling struggles while getting “the point”. If this is the case the series will be redeemed.

The book and series in general is full of interesting ideas and twists. The heaven vs. hell concept as addressed in genre writing is thought provoking. The noir aspect is a different take. I just hope the third book makes it worth going through 350 pages of horror.
