About this listen

Once upon a time, three men almost ruined me.

Now they're the only refuge I've got.

Stumbling on the luxury house in the woods seems like a godsend when I'm on the run for my life—until I realize the three men who destroyed me live there.

Jude exercises his demons through his drawings—and I'm his newest obsession.

Nolan is uniquely equipped to manage my medical condition but has a weakness of his own that just might kill him.

And then there's the worst one of all, Rafe. F*cking Rafe, who acts like nothing in the world can touch him—especially me—but wakes up screaming in the night.

They're ruinous evil bastards.

Huge. Reckless. Dangerous.

But they have the key to the mystery I'm trying to solve. And the truth is? I've got nowhere else to go.

Now the question isn't whether I can overcome what they did to me—but whether I'll survive what they have planned for me now.

I usually love Sadie Hunt’s interconnected trilogies, and Hell to Pay had all the elements of a story I would normally give four or even five stars. The plot is solid, the characters are engaging, and the world-building is exactly what I expect from her.

However, as a Type 1 diabetic for more than 45 years, I was deeply disappointed by the portrayal of one of the main male characters’ diabetes. Without giving spoilers, everything related to his condition is portrayed inaccurately. The descriptions of symptoms, blood sugar reactions, and insulin use are simply wrong—often the complete opposite of how diabetes actually works.

For example, the book repeatedly suggests that skipping insulin causes dangerously low blood sugar to the point of passing out. In reality, missing insulin causes extremely high blood sugar, not lows. Yes, some diabetics manage their condition poorly, but the physiology doesn’t change. These errors go far beyond small mistakes and perpetuate harmful myths about diabetes.

Story-wise, I genuinely enjoyed the book. But when an author gives a main character a medical condition, I believe they carry the responsibility to research and portray it correctly. In this case, the misinformation was too significant to overlook. She also said he was a navy seal but diabetics can't join any military branch.

Unfortunately, because of these inaccuracies, I can’t give Hell to Pay more than one star—even though I wanted to love it.

Couldn't overlook the medical misinformation
