Matthew Carver has a terrible life. Seriously - it's awful. It is so bad that Dan the Demon is shocked when Matt turns down his infernal offer: ten years of a blissful life in exchange for his soul.
But Dan is a salesman behind on his quota and his demonic managers are running out of patience. He forges Matt's signature on the dotted line, stealing his soul and thrusting him into a supernatural world he never knew existed.
Now Matt must figure out how to get his soul back and stop a war before it is too late...

Matthew Carver has had some awful things happen and he’s wallowing in self-pity. So much so that a demon named Dan (really? Dan?) mosies up to him and makes him a deal - 10 years of the best life he can imagine in exchange for his soul. But while Matt is miserable, he’s not stupid. So he says no. This is where things go south. Literally. Like far far South, i.e. Hell. Dan forges Matt’s signature on the paperwork and high tails it out of there before Matt realizes wtf just happened. Oh, no, he did not! Now Matt is on a mission to reclaim his soul. And maybe beat the piss out of Dan while he’s at it.
The author grabbed me by the shirt collar and pulled me straight the fuck into the story. My attention was all in like I had the winning hand at a high stakes poker game. I just had to know how regular guy Matt was going to find a demon and get his soul back. I mean, you can’t just pull up the BBB and file a complaint, right? Leave a bad review on Google? How and where in the world do you even start?!
This is a fast-paced well-written tale with great characters, and an intriguing problem. I can’t wait to read book 2.
