Thank you so much to @netgalley for the prerelease read of Good to Grave by Michael Park. It’s a fun and unique read. Think corporate greed meets demons, throw in some chaotic adventures, a few “wait, what?!” moments, and you’ve got a ride that somehow ties it all together just enough to leave you satisfied… and still desperately needing book two. (I can hope!). The corporate events and reminders, like the one above, are amazing. I love the mix of corporate jargon and demonic activities. To sum it up in a sentence: Poor Josie ends up in literal corporate hell….or is her name Grace?

If you are wanting some escapism, this will do it. I highly recommend checking it out when it comes out July 8th!

The Eburos Group isn’t your everyday corporate beast. To her cost, Josie discovers that at Eburos, selling your soul takes on a whole new meaning, Full of company talk and extracts from policy books, this will resonate with anyone who’s been part of a global outfit, At times, the intricacies of the story can be hard to follow but the mood stays constant throughout and the energy and creativity never flag.

A really engaging and thought provoking read.

I was granted a review copy of this book and am leaving a review voluntarily.

What??? This was a complete fever dream from start to finish. This book was completely unhinged from start to finish, in the best way. If Severance had demons and monsters, it would be the Eburos Group.

The book follows Josie, a new college grad as she begins her employment with a very questionable but powerful corporation. The offer is legitimately too good to be true, as we quickly find out that this is anything but a normal job.

At no point did I have any idea what was coming next. It seems like the most wild thing that could happen, happens and happens frequently. It was just a wild and entertaining ride.

Throughout most of the book, you are as confused and in the dark as Josie is about what is really happening and what anything means. I would have liked to have a little more explanation of things at the end. You get a quick snippet of a dynamic between anchor clients and who the Friendly man is but it’s not well explained and you don’t end up much clarity about what all transpired and why it happened. There are just a lot of unanswered questions at the end of the book.
