Belle’s Hell begins with the aftermath of Pandora’s Box where Annabelle’s life has been flipped upside down and shaken to its core by life-altering changes that even the Queen of Hell struggles to comprehend. With her path seemingly set for her, Annabelle moves forward alongside her harem not knowing that her life hangs in the balance and deeper, darker forces than any she’s faced threaten to overpower everything she’s come to know about herself. After all, even the Queen of Hell can get shaken to her core and fear for her own life...and the lives of those she holds closest to her.
This book! What can I say about this book? Firstly, if you’re asking for rainbows and roses...this book is not for you. However, if you’re after the most deliciously dark, fabulously filthy and downright dirty book you can find then this book is absolutely everything you’re looking for. This is the third book in the series and it’s clear to see that Eve has really stepped it up a notch. The writing is so beautifully done that it provided me with tears, spine tingles, anger whilst regularly keeping me hot under the collar. I’ve loved this series since it’s beginning but this book just solidified every reason I did and left no room for doubt in my mind that this is one of - if not the best series - that Eve has ever written.
With a plot packed with punches, that had me feeling more emotions than I have ever felt about a book before, I was left hooked from the very first page. I did not want to put it down. The characters that we have come to know and love have developed so beautifully and intricately that they become increasingly real to the reader, you feel their feelings. Their successes, their heartbreaks, their anger becomes your own. You root for them. Their stories weave their way into your head and your heart. I found myself connecting more emotionally to Annabelle in this book also as she battles her own consciousness and emotions. I felt that this was real, raw and so humanising. It really brought home that this badass character, this empowering female that took no prisoners- someone we all wished we could embody at some point - battled her own mind also. I loved that about her.
Now, let’s talk about sex. You thought book two brought the heat? Book three blows it to shreds in EPIC proportions. These scenes are absolutely NSFW but boy are they worth the wait away from prying eyes. Hot under the collar is an understatement. They left me breathless, absolutely craving for more and then, more came. I thought Eve wrote sex perfectly well...until I realised that she’s been keeping this absolute sorcery of creating scorching, sensual and mind-blowing scenes in her writing tool belt. I hope she never ever leaves it there ever again. I think I’m still feeling the after effects.
All in all, you’d be an absolute fool not to get this book. It blows every expectation you have out of the water. I absolutely adored it and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
