Sinossi
Peyote Trip ha un ottimo impiego nel Reparto Acquisizioni, al Quinto Piano dell'Inferno. Certo, le penne non scrivono, la macchinetta del caffè è fuori uso da un secolo e l'unica bevanda alcolica in circolazione è lo Jägermeister, ma Pey ha un piano e tutto ciò di cui ha bisogno è che l'ultimo membro della famiglia Harrison gli venda la propria anima. Quando gli Harrison si ritirano per l'estate nella villa sul lago di famiglia portandosi dietro Ruth, la nuova e assai precoce amica della figlia Mickey, l'opportunità che Pey ha atteso per oltre un millennio potrebbe finalmente manifestarsi. Per questo, con l'aiuto della sua carismatica collega Calamity, mette in moto il piano. Ma le cose non sono sempre come sembrano, né sulla Terra né all'Inferno. E mentre vecchi segreti e nuove minacce scalfiscono la facciata perfetta degli Harrison, rivelandone l'oscurità sottostante, tutti sono costretti ad affrontare le conseguenze delle proprie scelte.

Recensioni
Conceptually, Sign Here has potential. But the execution makes it feel like several disjointed stories instead of one cohesive whole. In one storyline, we follow Peyote, a dealmaker from Hell whose job is to sign as many souls into Hell as possible. He is forced to work with Cal, another dealmaker, b Leggi tutto
"darkly humorous, surprisingly poignant, and utterly gripping"...me when i lie! in some ways, i feel bad for this book, which has been totally mismarketed...but in more ways, i feel bad for me, because i had to pick this up and hate every second of it. and also, i had to both discover a dream job (thi Leggi tutto

an absolutely delightful debut. one that would definitely be even better upon reread.
Reading Vlog: https://youtu.be/8TIpw8x8V4Q This is one of the rare moments where a book is completely original. I can't relate it to anything and that deserves high praise. 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 Leggi tutto
I’ve seen Claudia Lux’s debut novel, Sign Here , described as horror, mystery, supernatural suspense, and family drama. It has aspects of all of those. Pey has worked his way up from being tortured to torturing souls to being responsible for getting humans to make deals for their souls. He has a Leggi tutto
Imagine a Hell where the only shots are Jager, where music you specifically hate plays all day, and where there is no coffee. That’s where Peyote Trip lives after dying and being sent to Hell for eternity. He’s worked himself up from the bottom and currently works on the 5th floor in the deals depar Leggi tutto
2.5–I think this is a case of false expectations/marketing because I went into this book expecting it to be moving and humorous and witty with a different spin on the thriller archetype, but now I have trust issues with Book of the Month because it did not meet their description and read to me as yo Leggi tutto
