I Hope This Email Finds You in Hell Release Bash with Mackenzie Reed
About this Event
Be the first to get your hands on with author Mackenzie Reed at her official release party!
Mackenzie will be joined in conversation by fellow romance author Heather Frances to chat about her adult debut, which takes a wildly entertaining office romance and sends it straight to the underworld. When receptionist Brie Benson catches her impossibly attractive boss performing an exorcism on a coworker, she finds herself swept into a mission that leads all the way to hell by way of Times Square. Along the journey, demon hunters, monsters, workplace chaos, and a slow burn romance collide in a story that is equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and swoony.
Following the conversation you’ll have a chance to meet and greet the author. Mackenzie will sign and personalize I Hope This Email Finds You in Hell as well as up to two titles brought from home.

ABOUT I HOPE THIS EMAIL FINDS YOU IN HELL
After her parents' death, twenty-seven-year-old Brie has mastered the art of compartmentalization to survive her mind-numbing routine as a receptionist at a life insurance company. But when she accidentally catches her hot, uptight boss, Luke, performing an exorcism on Debra from accounting, her carefully ordered world implodes.
Swearing Brie to secrecy, Luke reveals he's from a line of demon hunters and that demonic activity is spiking. But when her emotional support coworker vanishes, Brie is determined to find her. With nothing left to lose, she convinces Luke to let her join his rescue mission.
The problem? Their destination is hell. And the entrance is in Times Square.
Now Brie and Luke must navigate a corporate underworld of monsters and bureaucratic nightmares while racing to save their colleague and repair a tearing veil between worlds. All before their growing feelings become irrelevant and hell claims them forever.
