Hell on Earth series #1

“A former succubus on the run from hell, turned mortal stripper in The Big Apple”. Jackie Kessler’s premise for her new book, Hell’s Belles caught my attention and totally perked my interest.

Reading the book in just one day, first of the new year at that, it tells the tale of Jesse, former sex demon, whose former job allows her to seduce men and take souls, is due to some major management changes in Hell, decides to go AWOL. Turning to a witch for help, she got herself changed to a mortal, and with nothing but desperation and her inherent skill sets, ventured towards the Big Apple, where on the train she meets Paul, a hunky mortal who makes her wants to get back into the seducing business. So what does a former succubus do? Become a stripper. Now, complete with all mortal problems of financial issues and love dilemmas, Jesse also had to hide from bounty hunters from hell, an irate demon queen, and a incubus friend who has the “hots” for her, Jesse’s earthly adventure couldn’t be more filled with humor and danger.

Told through Jesse’s point in view, I got totally sucked into this book, and couldn’t put it down. Written in a light, humorous manner, complete with silly clichéd expression that somehow added to its charm, I found myself rooting for the main character, as she navigate her escape from hell and her hiding out in Earth.

Kessler’s description of Hell is ingenious, and I like her use of “corporate business” terms as her metaphor for its management issues. Her demon with a heart was an endearing heroine, and the plot was fast-paced enough to keep my attention. And that incubus Daun intrigues me and I’m eager to read his book, which is the third in the series. The ending is a little pat, although with some interesting revelations on why Jesse did run, making me want to read the next book immediately.

If you like paranormal books that are funny and a little bit raunchy, pick up Hell’s Belles for a fun ride in hell.
