Sign Here

I could quite literally not put this down. I mean, I read a 400-page book in two days!!! The first chapter suckered me in when I selected it for my Book of the Month club pick, causing me to forgo several other books that are also on Mount TBR in favor of this one I'd never heard of before, and it was the best decision ever. Sign Here was creepy and thriller-y but in a dryly comedic way; half of it takes place in hell, and the other half takes place at a family's summer lake house. I was completely immersed in the stories of our main character, a dude named Peyote Trip dealing with Hell Bureacracy making deals for other people's souls, and the seemingly regular family he keeps close tabs on, hoping to complete a set - making five deals within the same family. Secrets and violent shenanigans abound.

It was gripping, and I had fun.
