Hell's Belle Kindle Edition

Half vampire, half human, Nina Martinez spent most of her life underground as part of an elite secret team of government agents that quietly take down rogue monsters, the human world none the wiser. She moves back to her hometown of Providence, RI to keep an eye on the recent uptick in supernatural activity, and to help run the bar she co-owns with her aunt. Her attempt at a “regular” life, not to mention a budding relationship with smoking hot FBI agent Max, is cut short because of a string of ritual murders targeting the city's community of witches. But Nina's investigation unearths deadly secrets from her long buried parents. Now the target of supernatural assassins, could Nina be the most dangerous vampire hybrid to ever exist? No wonder she can’t get a date. "A damn fun read and I enjoyed the ride!" David Johnston (Busted Jesus Comix, Mothra Is Waiting) "With plenty of action and wit, readers are lured into the dangerous world of supernatural crime fighters. Eschewing the usual lore, Greco impressively navigates a high-energy, contemporary story of vampires and witches. Her straightforward style keeps the pace moving as she deftly unfurls a story that avoids the pitfalls of the paranormal formula and successfully incorporates interesting new twists that fit organically into the plotline. The well-rendered, relatable characters easily hold their own in this captivating read." Kirkus Reviews

This book didn't blow my mind but it was definitely worth the read. I enjoyed the story line of a half vamp/ half witch trying to dodge a strong vamp w a grudge. The romance aspect of it was slight and there was one sexy scene that was fairly scant so if your not into too much sexy with your books then you should be fine. I, however, wish there had been more between she and Max and Frankie to provide more intrigue in that area. as for the heroine, Nina could stand to be more kick ass maybe, or maybe it was her lack of knowledge that was off-putting. whatever it is, she needed a wee bit more depth; these were the problems I find myself contemplating, however slight. The author is a good writer and has great ideas that i enjoyed. the only thing lacking was that intrigue (which i attribute to lack of character depth and explanations) that won't let you put down the book because you can't wait to see what happens. That said, I still read this book in 2 days!
as with all starts to a new series this book is an opener; i have no doubt explanations and romances will be more forthcoming in following books!

This was OK, although it got a bit slow around the middle portion of the novel. There was certainly a portion where I considered ditching this if it didn't improve. It did pick up so I continued.

The characters were OK, if a bit ordinary. The bar background has been done many times, but this generally seems to work toward keeping the novel contemporary, in the here and now. Guess it leaves plenty of leeway as a launching pad.

One of the main parts where the story dropped off with it's out there character, was that she suddenly knows doodley squat about witches, when she knows about everything else. Yep, in an instant she turns into Stupid. Mmmm, not credible considering her years of experience.

The love interest is there, the support characters are there, and all up this is a pretty light read, but don't look towards it being overly creative or something a bit different.

I truly enjoyed this book. This book had me laughing and kept me on the edge of my seat. This was a well written book with just enough description that kept you entranced but did not make the book boring. There was plenty of action, romance, and fun and humor. The action was well written and kept you on the edge of your seat. The romance was fun and hot and was not overdone. I liked all the characters and really enjoyed the book. I will definitely be reading more by this author! She produces a story that is different but fun and pulls you in from the beginning.

This is my first book by this Ms. Greco and I was impressed with her. While this reminded me of an early Anita Blake story it is not in any way shape or form a clone. There is more then enough originality and creativity to satisfy most readers. I had no trouble getting into the story and found the characters relatable. The only thing that bugged me was some inst-love thrown into a classic love triangle early on but still I liked it well enough to buy the rest of the series. Hopefully the love aspects will be given enough time to seem genuine and sincere. Well on to book two...

The author puts some originality on well used ideas. Most of the book isn't anything you haven't read before. It is well written and the story flows pretty well. It never really drags at any one point. The romance between Nina and Max happens a little quick and the love triangle was expected.

The ending wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was hoping for. One thing that bugged me is that we never learn why Nina was a target and why her parents were killed. The vague hints weren't nearly enough.

None of this means it's not an excellent book because it is. It's just like seeing an action movie. Most are very similar but you watch them anyway. I will give the next book a chance.

I love to see a strong female lead character that can hold her own. This book is so creative and takes you into a world with vampires, witches and ghosts among other things so there's a bit of everything for everyone. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and look forward to getting to know them better and see what they're up against in the next book. I can't wait to read the next book.

But the book could do with a revision, as at times I felt characters were not consistent in their knowledge or where forgotten. That been said, it made an entertaining read during a freezing winter weekend.

This book kept popping up on my recommendations list for ages so eventually I broke down and bought it. I am so glad I did! I really enjoyed it. It was well written and the characters have been well created and interact really well with one another. The story has been well thought out and goes along as a good pace, there is a lot of action with a sprinkling of romance. This is not a romance though so if you are looking for romance to be the main event, then this probably isn't for you. There is a good mix of different supernatural creatures and a different but likeable main character. Nina is rough around the edges and has some emotional issues due to her background but she is tough with a caring side. She isn't a damsel in distress!

I liked it so much that I downloaded and read book 2 straight away. I want book 3 Karen Greco :D hopefully it will come out soon!
