Devil Made Me
What's the afterlife like? It's Hell. Literally. No one goes to Heaven anymore, if there ever was such a place, and Hell is run by a disembodied voice called Pandora, a sexy voice who doesn't need a pitchfork for it to be clear that she's the devil. And Moira is stuck on the second floor of Hell as a Welcomer in a skimpy demon costume… with her ex-boyfriend. Not cool. But there are plenty of other denizens around to make her unlife even more miserable.
