This book was a pleasant surprise for me! I was given an advanced copy & was instantly sucked into the story.

It’s dark, it plays with the idea of bad people vs bad things they have done. But it’s funny as well. The humor of Peyote & his colleagues in Hell are really what drives this story and makes it what it is.

I can’t wait for others to read this book! Its an amazing concept and was very well executed.

This is absurd, smart, morbid, entertaining, dark comedy meets murder mystery and dysfunctional family drama! Do you enjoy Christop Moore and Grady Hendrix novels? If your answer is yes, you don’t wanna miss this one!

There are too many POVs, short, impactful chapters, interesting, flawed, peculiar characters in this novel. And surprise, surprise: the incidents take place in both hell and earth.

Peyton, one of the suffering characters, climbing corporate hell ladders by working at 5th floor ( if you’re capable to survive at downstairs, rest of it is easy peasy), working hard to seal the deal with Harrison family by manipulating one of them to sign up a contract! See, those people never made those deals directly with the deal!!!

If Peyton manages to convince that person from Harrison family, he’ll have a complete set! That complete could be also a key to his secret scheme. But his new colleague Calamity, a naive girl keeps giving deer in the headlights looks can ruin his plan. She may also have her own secret agenda.

What about the mighty, dysfunctional, estranged Harrisons? The family is all set to take a family vacation at their New Hampshire house!

There are so many secrets lurking around Harrison family members. Silas, teaching business at school, still trying to connect with his dead brother who might be a murderer as his wife Lily is having a secret affair with a man connected with their own past. Their son Sean lives in his room, buried his head into video games behind locked doors, living disconnected from the entire family as youngest, 12 years old Mickey suffers from puberty problems, bullying schoolmates till she finds her best friend, the coolest girl of the school: Ruth. Mickey convinces her father to invite Ruth for their family holiday.

But going back that house means confronting the tragic events from the past. What happened the night Sarah, 17 years old girl who has been killed? Is Silas’ brother the real killer?

It seems like you read two other stories: one of them is family’s drama and mystery’s unfolding. The other one is a trip to the hell, a place where pens, coffee machines are not working,
Jäegermeister is only liquor that served at bars!

I enjoyed the world building: how the officers make deals, manipulating people, how they change events and looking from glass part was another brilliant addition!

Overall: the ending was spectacular. The sarcastic, entertaining, intelligent writing enchanted me!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

I really love this book. I guess technically it’s a thriller but there’s definitely some comedic aspects. I enjoyed all the characters and really loved the plot!

Sign Here was a solid mystery that caught me laughing out loud at moments. I loved the description of daily life in hell (broken coffee pot, low water pressure, needing five pens before one works) paired with the Harrison's family story line.

I couldn't push through the first act, so I'm going to put this down. The comp to The Good Place is probably a good one, but while I loved The Good Place, Sign Here just didn't have enough quirk to keep me invested.

This book was really, really good!! I couldn’t put it down, I was enthralled the entire time. It was so well written, I enjoyed every minute of it. It was definitely a very unique take on Hell and I was very satisfied with how the whole story played out. Highly recommend!

This book is hard to pin down, genre-wise. It's a pair of lost souls plotting to escape hell together. It's a generational family saga full of drama and pathos. It's a teen movie with a new, confident girl taking the shy, gawky one under her wing for the summer. It's full of humor but also deeply disturbing, and I definitely enjoyed reading it but wouldn't recommend it to everyone. But definitely to some people!

Pey just needs one more person to sell their soul so he can get a promotion in Hell....what could go wrong?

4 solid stars
This was dark and oh so fun with good twist at the end. I really can’t wait for more by this author!

I thoroughly enjoyed the darkly humorous perspective of the main character. The world building aspect was so intriguing that I want to know more about it. I mostly want more information about the different "levels". There's a plot twist at the end that I really should've seen coming because looking back, the signs were there, but I somehow skated right past them. It was a lighter read after a heavier novel and I liked not having to think so much.

Dark but oh so fun, Claudia Lux has really hit a home run with "Sign Here". Any fan of Grady Hendrix will enjoy this read.

Well this was just fun! A recommended purchase for collections where quirky titles are popular - sits somewhere between Christopher Moore and Richard Kadrey.
