They told her to go to Hell.
She’ll go on her own terms.
Lily is less than thrilled about her arrival to the Afterlife, but what awaits her is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined. Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning.
As Lily explores everything the Afterlife has to offer, she finds herself drawn to a place most people would rather avoid at all Hell.
What she discovers there subverts everything she’s ever learned, and Lily realizes the demons working at the gate to guide souls need help—badly. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves out a place for herself among the demons, confronting, sassing, and aiding the spectrum of humanity to redefine justice and redemption.
A chance meeting with Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice, sparks an immediate and deeply healing friendship. However, the undeniable heat between them simmers, and it’s only a matter of time before it combusts.
Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they’ve ever known and everything that could be… unless they fight like Hell to stop it.
Review:
Humorous, sexy, and exceptionally creative!
For Whom the Belle Tolls is a unique, passionate tale that sweeps you away to the afterlife and into the life of Lily as she tackles with gusto an early death, a new role as a customer service agent for souls in hell, an ever-increasing attraction to an irresistible demon, and her affection for a little girl who is in desperate need of stability and love.
The prose is descriptive and light. The characters are kind, loyal, and fierce. And the plot is a captivating tale full of life, death, loyalty, duty, heartbreak, danger, family, friendship, love, sizzling tension, war, and supernatural phenomena.
Overall, For Whom the Belle Tolls is an engrossing, steamy, highly entertaining tale by Lynn that is the perfect choice for anyone who loves a dab of romance, a little spice, and a whole slew of paranormal, unconventional fun.
