Description
With twisty heists, an eclectic crew, and otherworldly magic, this book has it all! Hell to Pay is a high-stakes, magical masterpiece. - Kayvion Lewis, award-winning author of Thieves' Gambit
Elle Fields comes from a long line of thieves who specialize in breaking into the Afterlife to steal secrets from the Dead. Until, that is, a job goes horribly wrong - which cost her brother his soul. Now she's desperately trying to restore the life she lost.
Out of the blue a sultry, handsome stranger called Rook approaches Elle to hire her for an impossible job, but also gives her an opportunity she can't refuse: the secret to resurrection.
Elle gets the crew back together for one last heist from hell, only to discover that her brother's death isn't what it seemed, and neither is the mysterious figure at the centre of it.
An action-packed supernatural thriller, with shocking twists and turns.
