Sign Here Book by Claudia Lux

 

Claudia Lux's version of Hell is original, interesting and creates a world one can imagine and relate to (to a degree). Lux's hell is never getting the first pen to write or even the third. It's everything going wrong all the time.  It's stepping in a puddle to find out it's a lot deeper than you thought and getting water up to your knees. 

Peytoe Trip works on the 5th floor of hell and it's a pretty good gig.  He collects (makes deals) to get souls for hell. Peyote is working on collecting a complete set of souls from the Harrison family.  The Harrison family story line is by far the most interesting and best part of the book. In fact it should have been the larger story line and the story line with Peyote, Cal & should have been cut in half and been the  supporting storyline. 

Sign Here, has dueling plots and twists and turns. It's a good novel for a debut. Despite the mixed feelings I had and there being parts I liked and didn't like, I look forward to reading more books from Claudia Lux.
