About this listen

After accidentally summoning a demon while playing poker, the normally mild-mannered Chesney Anstruther refuses to sell his soul…which leads through various confusions to, well, Hell going on strike. Which means that nothing bad ever happens in the world – and that actually turns out to be a really bad thing.

There’s only one thing for it. Satan offers Chesney the ultimate deal – sign the damned contract, and he can have his heart’s desire. And thus the strangest superhero duo ever seen – in Hell or on Earth – is born! Book one of the To Hell & Back saga is a riotous fantasy from the acclaimed author of the Henghis Hapthorn stories.

a good idea, coupled with some nice moments and that's it. no characters and no consistency.

If you are going to read an entire book in an American accent for no real reason get it right. It was like listening to a four year old recreating their favourite American cartoon show badly.
The only time any accent was needed was for the characters voices but the entire book was read with this grating and distractingly poor interpretation.
Put me off to the point where I don't even know if the story was good because every other sentence was like fingers on a chalk board.

Dreadful narrator
