When Oliver applied for a job in the Hell dimension on a whim, he didn't expect it to turn his whole world—or his heart—entirely upside down.

Recently graduated at twenty-six, and two months behind on rent, Oliver Barnes is desperate. So desperate, in fact, that he applies for a job in the Greed district of Hell's Pentagram. But when he misses his train and, subsequently, his job interview, he stumbles, instead, upon a strange little coffee shop in the middle of Purgatory's barren desert—and into an unexpected opportunity.

It isn't the job he came to Hell for, but maybe it's exactly the job he needs.

As he navigates the demon dimension and tries to survive the ridiculous shenanigans of his unholy co-workers, Oliver soon falls head-over-ass for a tentacled lawyer with electric fingers and a deadly-sharp grin. Together, they discover that, sometimes, love and happiness can be just a train ride away.

Join Oliver and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight's new rom-com urban fantasy series, full of found family, embarrassing encounters, spicy situations, and love that crosses dimensions

I giggled, I cried and I fell in love with every character. Can't wait to read the rest. If you like Lily Maynes Goliaths of wrestlings series and Berries and Greed then this feels adjacent...Michael Lesley is fantastic too 🖤

Cute characters

A really wonderful story. Low / no angst but missing absolutely nothing for that fact. Superb writing, a truly delightful cast of characters (I do love a found-family trope) with a faultless performance by Michael Lesley. I can already tell that this will become a hallowed and loved comfort re-listen.

Cosy fantasy at its finest

I first read this book when it came out in 2024 and loved it so I was thrilled to see it come out in audiobook especially being narrated by Michael Lesley who is one of the most talented narrators around (his work on Lily Maynes "monstrous" series is seriously amazing)

This is the story of Oliver, a human who, via a missed train and various purgatory related shenanigans misses an interview for one job, only to stumble into another working at the Passing Through Cafe. The cafe is run by a host of other wonderful residents of the various sectors of hell. On a night out with his new colleagues he makes a connection with Liel, sparks fly (literally) and the two begin to "pursue each other most ardently". The beauty of their love story is well balanced with the humour added by the other characters (Gem is an amazing wingman and all round horny arachid) as well as Olivers human friend Jude.

The world building is really great and east to follow, the characters are multidimensional and entertaining.multiple other issues such as queerness, gender, family acceptance and bigotry are also dealt with really beautifully.

The narration brings this wonderful story to life and is perfectly voiced. I look forward to many more trips to the Passing Through cafe to see what happens to Gem, Jude, Tony and Rusty, to name a few... Nik Knight is a talented writer and this is one of my top pics from last year, which is now one if my favourite audiobooks too.

Beautiful, Spicy Love Story with the best Found Family Vibes.

Nik Knight is a favorite for a reason. All books they release always hit a spot: from darker themes ones, to light, fluffy, funny and sexy ones likes this one.

Falling in love with Oliver, Liel and the gang was delightful. There were so many laugh out loud moments. Plenty of very sexy moments too, it’s as spicy as it is funny and sweet.

Big congratulations to the author and I can’t wait for more books in the series.

And Michael Lesley? Just one of the best narrators out there. Big congrats.

Delightful in a laugh out loud and sexy kind of way

It was a cute and enjoyable read, especially if you like of found family dynamics and slow-burn relationships. The main character and love interest had great chemistry, and I appreciated how their bond developed naturally over the course of the story. The worldbuilding was also a highlight, incorporating issues in the demon realm that cleverly mirrored real-world struggles.

That said, the book did feel overly long at times. Some scenes—especially between the various side characters—dragged on more than necessary, making it easy to lose track of who was who. While the supporting cast was endearing, they could also be a bit frustrating. Still, the variety of demons and their interactions created some fantastic imagery, giving the book a Lily Mayne-esque vibe that I really enjoyed.

Overall, it was an entertaining and engaging read. If the pacing had been a bit tighter, it would have been even better, but I’d definitely be interested in more books focusing on different characters in this world!
