The King of Hell and a Seer in Trouble—A Review of Go to Hell or Whatever

If you enjoyed the cozy charm of book one, Go to Hell or Whatever by C.L. Mari delivers more of that same magic—short, sweet, and full of heart.

As the second installment in the Whisperlight Valley series, this story keeps the bite-sized format while shifting focus to a new couple—and honestly, I was completely here for it.

At a Glance

A Familiar Face… and a Fated Connection

If you’ve read The Trinket That Tied Us, you’ll recognize Az.

This time, he takes center stage.

Then we get to meet Ria, a seer struggling to control her overwhelming powers. She's also Mina's cousin. When their paths cross, Az realizes almost instantly that she isn’t just anyone—she’s the woman from his dreams.

His soulmate.

And when Ria’s life starts spiraling, Az steps in like a very unconventional knight in shining armor… and whisks her away to Hell.

Yes. Literally.

Surprisingly Wholesome… Even in Hell

You’d think a trip to Hell would feel dark or intense—but somehow, this book manages to make it feel cozy.

Their dynamic is genuinely one of the highlights. Az is exactly the kind of steady, protective presence Ria needs, while she brings out a softer, more vulnerable side of him.

And the banter? Sharp, playful, and effortlessly fun.

At one point, I caught myself thinking:

Honestly… I wouldn’t mind visiting.

(Especially for the nymphs 👀)
