Hell is empty, and all the devils are here, but nobody knows why-not even the devils themselves. Now, sadistic demons roam the earth, offering small fortunes to any mortal sucker dumb or desperate enough to die on their behalf as they retrieve artifacts from a Hell they can't recall. Washed-up journalist Marian Meyer is one of those mortal suckers dying for a living as she fetches clues for a demonic puzzle that she doesn't care to solve. Riddled with debt she'll never be able to pay off and guilt over her mother's death, Marian made her first lucrative deal with a demon and never looked back. Never mind that being a Hell-diver means that she must voluntarily drown herself-or that the human body wasn't meant to die more than once-and she's definitely feeling it. Unfortunately, the last time Marian went to Hell, she came back wrong. Memories of that night are missing, and she'll do anything she can to find them, including teaming up with one of her mysterious (and oddly alluring) demonic patrons, Mr. Vale. But when their tenuous alliance thrusts Marian even deeper into a world of betrayal, humans with strange powers, and demonic politics, she'll have to decide if allying with Mr. Vale is her ticket to freedom or damnation in disguise. One part slow-burn romance and one part acerbic wit, Hellbound is a dark contemporary romantasy perfect for readers who prefer their casts morally grey and the stakes sky-high.
