I cannot express with words how much I enjoyed this book. I thought I would be captivated simply because I already love these characters, but this book stands strong without its internet history. 

This was a deeply tragic book for me to read, but in a way that was healing and warm. I cannot wait even one more day for the next book.

Having followed Jaysea since nearly the start of Hell's Belles on TikTok, I was excited to see how these characters would transfer to a book and I am in awe... It's rare that a book gets me to laugh out loud, cry, sit in anxiety, and be aroused...but here I am. I felt a wide range of emotions. This book will sit with me for a while as not only is it an entertaining story, but some of the things Bel, Lily, and Sharkie say to each other resonate in such a way that I feel like I'm doing therapy in level 1 or 2 and working my way to my own paradise.

Thank you Jaysea for entertaining us all these last 4yrs. I can't wait for Penny and Greg's story.

This book, while a paranormal romance fantasy, it has a lot of trauma involved as it deals with the afterlife, their souls and their healing journey from unimagined trauma.

I felt that all the sensitive topics were handled very well, but can be triggering to read, they are a part of the story but aren’t used as merely a plot device and are explored well.
