Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World was AWESOME! The company itself reminded me a lot of the SCP Foundation, which I love, so I was already super into the book when I started and it just kept getting better. Love the gay romance, love the friendship, love the secret demon company, love it all. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's into SCPs, and/or Sci-fi horrors.

Thank you Mark Waddell, Berkley, and NetGalley for the ARC!

I enjoyed this significantly more than I expected to! I found it refreshing—it’s pretty rare to read about a character doing bad things that isn’t preachy, and I had a good time. I didn’t love the central romance—I could have done without it, particularly because the friendships were so strong and well-written—but I had a good enough time that it feels like a minor quibble. I look forward to reading more from this author!

Never read this author before but this was, somehow, a lot of fun while being fairly nasty. Our main character Colin Harris, though quite a nebbish, is also not a very nice guy - except when he sometimes is nice. He's not an exceptionally evil guy, except when he is. His character growth is, I rather feel, the point of the whole thing.

On the whole Mr. Waddell's book is funny even if the villain(s) save the day. Recommended for the oddity, the corporate soul-sucking banalities laid bare in all the crazy ways the author could think of, and everyone coming together in the end to get shit done.
