“This high-stakes fantasy has an irresistible premise: a heist in the Afterlife. . . . [A] compelling blend of dark magic and found family alongside fast-paced intrigue.” —Booklist

“Instantly one of my all-time favorite reads, Hell to Pay is an absolute riot of magic, thrills, and banter. I fell in love with its ragtag crew of con artists, swoony love interest, and action-packed heist that's to die for—literally.” —Emily Suvada, award-winning author of the Mortal Coil trilogy
