"Only death was true. Death was the great equalizer, the one certainty, the only promise that could never be broken. That was its beauty. That was its power - the power of being undeniably real." 

Freshway grocery store has been competing with their new rival, Devil's Food. The manager makes his employees work a night shift to clean the store and bring back customers. Little do they know, the employees at Devil's Food are about to wreak havoc on Freshway. They are no ordinary grocery store - they are run by murderous Satanists looking for blood. 

I loved how the authors took a simple concept of having a shitty job at the grocery store and turned it into gory, satanic fun. If you're looking for a book about a cult, sex, satanic rituals, blood, and extreme gore then look no further because this book has it all! 

The characters were all great in their own ways, bringing fear and humour to the situation they had to face. The deaths were over the top and the overall story was a lot of fun. I felt bad for the employees of Freshway because if it weren't for their asshole of a boss they never would have gotten into an extremely bloody mess. 

The writing flowed well that you wouldn't even know this was written by two authors. I haven't read anything else by Harding and I've only read one book by Triana so I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of their work!
