Hellâ??s Belles is Jackie Kesslerâ??s debut novel leading you into the underbelly of the world, which is literally Hell!
Hellâ??s
Belles is all about the transition of Jezebel from powerful succubus,
who could seduce the souls away from men, to a mere mortal. When Hell
put a bounty on her head her only chance to escape a fate far worse
than death was to become human and lose herself in a place where
sinners walk hand-in-hand with saints â?? a place like Belleâ??s strip club
in New York.
Working as an exotic dancer is a piece of cake for a demon
that specialised in seduction. But Jezebel hadnâ??t counted on meeting Paul
Hamilton, a man haunted by his past. Goodbye Hell; hello Cupid. But
Hell hasnâ??t stopped looking for her. The secrets Jezebel holds are the
most dangerous of all, the kind every demon would do their worst to
protect. Demons are closing in, but itâ??s her love for Paul thatâ??s going
to have deadly consequencesâ?¦
I couldnâ??t believe that this book was Kesslerâ??s debut novel. Her writing
style is so well developed and brilliantly quirky that by the end of
the book I began to think she could make a shopping list seem
interesting. The plot is gentle and although this isnâ??t a thriller or
mystery that twists and turns, it is a heart warming, action-packed,
humorous story that will leave you feeling all gooey inside. Her quick
one-liners will have you smiling through Jezebelâ??s heartbreak.
This was a lighthearted, funny read with an old-fashioned love story
underneath all the modern trappings. I would recommend this to anyone
and Iâ??m rushing out to buy the sequel, The Road To Hell, when it comes
out in November.
Rating: 5/5
