Bells of Demonio

by Natalie Bennett

Seven days of sin.

It was said to be a celebration you could experience only once in a lifetime.

For people like us, lovers of all things strange, twisted, and morally questionable, it was a claim that couldn’t be ignored.
My group of misfit friends and I hopped onto a plane to go and see for ourselves.

What we found was a beautiful village that seemed to exist in a world of its own.

After chilling haunts, creepypastas becoming vividly real, and the hottest one-night stand of my life, I was more than satisfied with our impromptu endeavor.

It should’ve ended there.

One folk tale was all it took to turn a celebration into a nightmare.

Eight of us went into the woods that story warned us never to enter.
Guess how many made it back out?

**PLEASE NOTE**
This a short prelude to a dark RH standalone. Contains mild drug use, knife/blood play, and heavy PNR elements.

Natalie Bennett’s brand of dark, macabre story telling AND reverse harem? Color me intrigued. And, it’s every bit as dark and gory and creepy as you’d expect. It all begins with sisters and their friends attending the Seven Days of Sin festival- oh yes, sounds fun. But when they arrive in the village where the festival occurs, something is most certainly off about the residents.

Angel finds herself in a bit of a psychedelic phase- perhaps it’s the town, perhaps its drug, but it incites some kinky things, with an occult flair, with some sexy men/maybe demons. Men who know about Angel and her twin sisters’ forgotten past. And a creepy mystery has begun.

The perfect beginning to strange occurrences to come - and a quite interesting prequel to the Kings of Terror to come that looks to be overflowing with triggers. I’m left with tons of questions, and curious just how depraved NB will go- I have a feeling this one is going to be one of her darkest.

Review of “Bells of Demonto by Natalie Bennett”

OH. MY. GOD! To all my horror loving friends, please read this novella. Unless you want to wait closer till the next book comes out which I totally understand because I got to the end of this one, clicked the preorder button just to find out I’m going to have to wait 6 months for the next one!!!!! I was audibly screaming… NOooooooooooooo!

😈 Demons with claws, forked textured tongue and some kind of weird freaky hyper sensitive alluring abilities (so creative, I loved it)
😈 The dialogue had its funny moments. The references to horror movies are just the icing on the cake.
😈 only one sex scene which I’m kinda sad about but the whole story, the creepy town, annual festival, the secrets, the unknown past with the creepy picture… I could just keep going. Like I said, if you love horror, I’d say you need this!!!

It just hit all the right places for an amazing creepy horror book with a little added ritualistic bloody spice in there. I’m definitely picking up more from this author!

This book was wickedly dark and twisted with added mystery and I’m obsessed with it! This author is a favorite of mine and this story is everything I love about her writing also it’s a dark reverse harem romance so I was completely sold ! This story is so intriguing and mysterious and so freaking twisted I highly recommend it!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book

[Kade Gulluscio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Natalie Bennett never fails to amaze me. She was an insane way with words that draws you in. Per usual, this was another success. The book is graphic but so incredibly intriguing.

This series is so unique already, I cannot wait to see where she goes with it next. I have a feeling there’s some incredible twists coming up in the next book.

[Siobhan (Bookish Vibes) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Written in Natalie Bennett's unique horror romance style, Bells of Demonio delivered yet another creepy, disturbing and highly addictive read. It is full of suspense to keep you hooked, shady characters that you can't quite get a read of and the perfect amount of mind f*ckery to have you questioning everything.

Angel, her twin sister Bellatrix and a group of their friends decide to vacation in a mysterious village to attend a week long celebration called Seven Days of Sin. They get more than they bargained for when they decide to venture into the forbidden woods. Add in the sexy as hell demons Angel meets a long the way and you just know you're in for a wild ride.

There is definitely a whole bunch of trigger warnings with this story but if you are familiar with Natalie Bennett then you know this is to be expected :P I am really looking forward to what comes next in the series!

[Tia Bishop · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always I am in lust

This author always rings my dark and dangerous bells. Just when I thought it was the same old dark and demented Natalie Bennett book full of depraved carnage, she showed me that it was that and THEN some. With some paranormal elements and some HOT BLOODY FOREPLAY, I couldnt get enough!!! And that ending with that cliffhanger with the sisters and Rag and the bells had me on the edge of my seat! I need more NOW!

[Philomena Callan Cheekypee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bells of Demonio is book one in the Kings of Terror series.

Gah what another fantastic read by this author. This author is in a league of her own with her stories.

I devoured this one night and it was certainly worth staying up for.. I’ll wait rather impatiently for the next read.

Loved it! And still so mysterious, although I do wonder what the difference is between Angel and Trix... why Angel alone ? Why not Trix 🤔🤔 can't wait for book 2!

[Macabre Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bells of Demonio is the starting novella in Natalie Bennett's newest Kings of Terror series. There are thrills, gore, and paranormal elements jam packed into this prelude, and it's definitely the start of something amazing.

Angelina and her twin sister, Bellatrix, take a trip to the ridiculously secluded Seraphim, where a yearly festival is held around Halloween called the Seven Days of Sin. Along with them are a group of four friends they regularly take trips with, all to strange and unusual places. This trip promises to be too good to be true, and they meet some new friends and have a few days of amazing adventures within the village.

One night while out at a club, Angeline meets Nico, Malachi, and Damian, three mysterious brothers who give her an experience far beyond what could possibly be real. When she wakes the next day, evidence of her wild night proves even more that not all in Seraphim is as it seems. And a last adventure to the local reported haunted house in the woods solidifies the paranormal is at play.

This book is quick and packs a lot of story in, leaving a lot of questions for part two. I can't wait to find out more about Angeline's origins and how her three guys shake up her life.

I received a free copy of this book and am leaving an honest review voluntarily.

Character development: 5/5
Dark elements: 5/5
Steamy scenes: 5/5
Overall storyline: 5/5
Triggers: Yes, indeed - gore, paranormal elements, drug use, blood/knife play

"My soul was no longer my own, divided in three and sealed with a promise carved into my skin‑‑imprinted upon with a language evil and ancient."

Two sisters, Angel and Bellatrix, and their friends decide to go to a week long vacation in a village to take part of Seven Days of Sin festival. When they meet three mysterious guys, Malachi, Damian, and Nico. Coming off of a hazy night of pain, pleasure, and ritualistic ecstasy, Angel and the gvand set off into forbidden woods and manor "House of Demonio". When Angel and her twin sisters’ mysterious and forgotten past starts to resurface, that's when the f*ckery really begins.

Guuuuuuys!!! If you are into:
- Dark Romance
- RH
-PNR
- hot demon guys
-Murder and mayhem
-Creepy, horror movie/story vibes
-🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
-Mystery and Suspense

Then, This is sooo for you!

Bells of Demonio is the first book and prequel to the Kings of Terror series. Let me tell you, it started with a huge bang. This had such a American Horror Story feel to it. It was a quick and easy read, but freaking amazing!! This is my first PNR story by Natalie Bennett and it was absolutely perfection for my dark heart! Can't wait for more!

[Kelli · Rating 5 out of 5]

EEEEEEEEE Bells of Demonio was SO GOOD! I read the whole thing in one sitting because I was hooked from the start. It’s one of those stories that you just know is going to be a wild ride, full of twists and turns, but oh so worth it. As a prequel, this is only a short intro to a new series. But I am so very excited to become immersed in this world once the author begins to release the stories.

Quick rundown: the story centers on twins Angel and Bellatrix. They are unique, to say the least. We will definitely learn more about them in future stories, but Bells of Demonio focused mainly on Angel. Along with their friends, the twins attend the Seven Days of Sin Festival, which they found out about through an email. They enjoy some nights of partying – including one verrry spicy night for Angel. They learn about a local legend during one evening out, which warns them not to enter the woods. Once the group does exactly that, we understand why not to… I’ll leave it there because I don’t want to give anything away. All I can say is, read Bells of Demonio and prepare yourself for the Kings of Terror.

[Patricia Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am reviewing this book from an ARC for The amazing and talented Natalie Bennett.

Bells of Demonio is another fantastic book that is full of dangerous and bloody knife play that I love to read about.
This book is about a group of 6 misfit friends that take a long awaited vacation to a beautiful village where the locals are celebrating what they call “Seven days of sin” that happens to be during Halloween. All the locals give off a creepy vibe during their visit there. They were told that they promised to deliver an experience they would never forget. Two of the 6 friends were twin sisters Angel and Bellatrix. Those two go thru a lot of scary demonic experiences that will freak you out in a very good way. I absolutely loved every word that was written. I couldn’t get enough and I was so bummed when it ended on the scariest cliff hanger I’ve ever read! I highly recommend getting this book and reading it as soon as possible, I promise you won’t regret it. Now I am jonesing for the 2nd book to come out. Please hurry Natalie.

" Loving Halloween the twins and there group of misfits friends find a festival Seven Day Of Sins...

Oh and lets throw in not one, not two but three sexy mystery creepy brothers Nico, Malachi and Damian....need Bride of Demonio like right now...

[Roschele · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an introductory short story to the new series, Kings of Terror, by Natalie. And oh what an introduction it was.

Yes ma'am. This is what I've been wanting in my books.

Halloween setting. Horror movie references. Creepy ass mansion. Woods to be wary of. Bodies, everywhere. Blood play.



It does have the RH element as well and although I had pretty much given up on that, I can get behind it in this type of setting. I mean...



I can't rave enough about this dark and twisty little story. And I can't wait to get my little grabby hands on the next book.

- Dark Romance
- RH
- Demons/Gothic Vibe/Halloween

I think everyone knows how much I love Natalie Bennett's books and can you imagine my surprise to read a harem by this author? WONDERFUL

💀 The book has a very mysterious vibe with Halloween setting, teenagers going where they shouldn't and a dose of "what's the meaning of this?", "wow what a pretty devil this is".

💀 It has plenty of explicit violence (gore) as well as depiction of carnal scenes (threesomes), keep in mind that Natalie's books always have this dosage and it will always be surprising.

I can't wait to get more answers, know more about the twins and their past, get to know this universe of demons and bells.

💀 A bloody dish for those who love dark romance and love a good dosage of demons, reverse harem and explicit violence.

“When it come to darkness Natalie is a Queen! This first book wasn’t the exception. The blurb is enough to catch the attention and it wasn’t wrong. OMG! I had to stop reading and it broke me. It was so hard to let it go but once I started it again I was glued to the pages and finished it in a row lol. This was insanely good! Insanely cause it was EPIC!!! Phenomenal and mind blowing easy as that. All the darkness, horror and twisted you can expect are here. Don't expect a little appetizer the whole craziness is here. Plus if you like demons and blood this one is definitely for you. Did I mention secrets that nothing is what it seems and that you can easily lost yourself in the pages? Please don't wait one more minute and go read this book. You aren't gonna regret it, trust me! Next book please arrive soon.”

[M Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my word what a freaking book!

Addictive from the first page, the suspense is killer, erotic and spell binding.

Loved the twins, so much to find out about them. I think they're demons too but we'll see.

...and what a very pleasant surprise a rh with 3 hot men n a weird af twin. Mmfm hot hot hot.

I couldn't watch this as a movie as I dont like horror or scary but absolutely loved reading this gothic masterpiece. 5 stars all the way.

Does need a bit of an edit. Some sentence structure issues with words missing to make a correct sentence esp in final chapter. Minor issue n easily resolved.

I bloody love this author!!

If you haven't read the badlands series head over there its incredible!

Now the way for the 2nd book! Sigh

[Kristen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a short prelude to Kings of Terror. I blew through this book quickly and it left me feeling like it was an absolute tease for what's to come. I want more dark and delicious of everything that has and will happen. Something is off about twins Angeline and Bellatrix. They can't remember anything prior to their ten years of life and no one has any answers. During an annual Halloween trip with friends, they find a connection of sorts that may possibly have more questions than answers. Nico, Malachi and Damian know who Angeline is and are adamant on helping her remember.  Their lives will never be the same once they leave.

💀Bells of Demonio Review💀

Where do I even start!? This is my first real PNR RH by Natalie Bennett and I can already tell I will be obsessed.

This is more of a prequel to the story to give us an insight on why to expect in the Kings of Terror series and I can confirm I was screaming when I read the ending.

Angelina her twin Bellatrix and their group of friends end up booking a trip to a haunted little town. And let’s just say they should have heeded the locals warnings about not going into the woods in search of the manor. Because 8 went in and not everyone was guaranteed to come out.

So do you believe in haunted stories? Would you be heed the warnings?

[Bekah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the beginning of a dark, twisted & perverse ride. Suffering and torture have never been so good. Natalie has delivered another beautiful nightmare I never want to wake from. The sensuality of the scene as they claim Angeline as theirs, makes me want to volunteer to be in her place.

I would like a chance to go to the seven days of sin festival, I cannot wait to read the rest of this tail. I almost cried at the end of this part of the tale. I do have to say Tyson and Alex annoyed the hell out of me. There the friends you just want to slap in the back of the head.

I cannot wait to for the rest of this nightmare and gory tale.

[Brandalyn Curry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bells of Demonio

What a deliciously gory introduction to Bellatrix & Angeline along with Nico, Malachi and Damian. I’m definitely left wanting more after this hauntingly dark and sinister story. Bellatrix and Angeline have gone to a festival called Seven Days of Sin what could possibly go wrong when attending an event such as this. Death, destruction and some mayhem maybe with some hot sex thrown in too. These sisters definitely have some secrets and some connections but will they figure it out while attending this festival? Natalie Bennett has definitely got me hooked with these characters and I’m wanting more and can’t wait for more.

[Saucy Sierra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a creepy blast!!

I was pulled into this crazy blast from the beginning! Amazing creativity and beautiful terror...Another fantastic story by Natalie Bennett!

Two sisters, Angeline and Bellatrix, are closer than their friends know. The supernatural is fascinating so the twins and their friends decide a vacation of Seven Days of Sin is just up their alley. Nothing is taken seriously until they meet three dangerous strangers. Even then the rumors around town don't hold them back from adventuring into the woods. The story of bells. When you hear the bells beware.

They should have heeded the warnings...

Read this book!!!!!

[Rosie Park · Rating 5 out of 5]

This new series is exactly why Natalie Bennett is the Queen of the Dark and Depraved. This story starts with a pair of sisters that have a love of all things scary and twisted. The setting is a perfect place for all things dark, depraved and twisted. The graphics are beautifully incorporated and I can't wait to get my hands on the actual books. To sum up my feelings of this book, here is a direct quote; "My soul was no longer my own, divided in three and sealed with a promise carved into my skin‑‑imprinted upon with a language evil and ancient." Happy Reading

[Cindy Ziegler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ok...lets start by saying " WOW"!!!! This is a quick read and parts read so quickly that it leaves you wondering and piecing stuff together which at first I didn't like because I know Natalie's writing style ( she usually doesn't leave out any details).But when I was done I come to the conclusion it was on purpose to lead into the next book that Im hoping will answer and fill in. Trying not to spoil anything but let's just say...one part left me with my thighs clenched together. Never knew I needed a demon RH in my life but now I'm obsessed and CANNOT WAIT for the next Bride of Demonio
