Elle Fields comes from a long line of thieves who specialize in breaking into the Afterlife to steal secrets from the Dead. Until, that is, a job goes horribly wrong - which cost her brother his soul. Now she''s desperately trying to restore the life she lost.

Out of the blue a sultry, handsome stranger called Rook approaches Elle to hire her for an impossible job, but also gives her an opportunity she can''t refuse: the secret to resurrection.

Elle gets the crew back together for one last heist from hell, only to discover that her brother''s death isn''t what it seemed, and neither is the mysterious figure at the centre of it.

An action-packed supernatural thriller, with shocking twists and turns.

Review quote:
A fierce and breathless story of grief, loyalty and impossible choices. . . Johnson''s novel crackles with tension, driven by a sharp-edged heroine and a split full of twists, betrayals, and dark managed. Fast-paced, inventive and emotionally charged, Hell to Pay is a gripping exploration of loss, loyalty, and the price of bringing someone back.
Review quote:
A brilliant fast-paced read to keep teens engaged. Highly recommended.
