I’m in a Readers of Fantasy group on Facebook and Audible codes for Kaylin Peyerk<\/a>‘s Mayhem in Hell<\/a> (narrated by Amy Hall<\/a>)<\/span> were on offer. So, I accepted one. And since yesterday was the day I had to break down and actually fold the giant pile of laundry, I listened to the book while I did it. (Seriously, that is just one of the most tedious chores in existence.)

\nI was supposed to die and go to heaven, too bad I ended up in hell.<\/em><\/p>\n

One out of every five people end up in heaven, that’s how low the chances are. So I worked hard, never swore, and did my best to be a good girl for my entire life. Then, out of nowhere, I was hit by an oncoming car, cutting my life short at age twenty-five.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next thing I know I’m waking up in the firey pits of hell and given a scythe. My new job is to help reap the souls and take them to judgement day. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it would be if I was a normal reaper. . . but the moment I touched the scythe it began to glow, signaling just how talented I’m going to be. Now, the three ruling princes of hell all want me as their personal reaper.<\/em><\/p>\n

So these days I’ve been thinking. . . What’s the use in being good when it’s so fun to be bad?<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI found this amusing, but also just a little too “she’s the most special, special snowflake in the special field” for my tastes. It’s reverse harem, I went in knowing that. But Lucifer, all his sons and god himself <\/em>want her, if for different reasons. And the reason is either something beyond her control and having nothing to do with her<\/em> or just super flimsy. At one point one of the sex men tells her she’s the most interesting thing he’s seen in ages (if not ever) and I just thought, why? There seriously isn’t anything particularly interesting about her…other than that your interested in her.<\/p>\n

But having said all of\u00a0 that, if I was willing to let my questions go and just roll with it all, I did enjoy myself. There’s some humor, plenty of low-heat sexual tension (but no sex), and a glorious bit of blasphemy that I very much appreciate. The writing is pretty good. The narrator did a good job and it was a fun, silly romp. It does end on a cliffhanger (which I knew in advance, so no complaints). All in all, I’d be willing to read book two.<\/p>\n
