Jaysea Lynn: For Whom the Belle Tolls

 

Jaysea Lynn redefines what happens to people once they pass away:

This book has such an interesting concept from the very beginning and Lynn's idea of what happens after we die, honestly sounds amazing. I love that Lynn had all the different religions come together in the afterlife and there is the paradise for those who do not believe as well and honestly is sounds (for lack of a better word) heavenly. This really has Lily exploring what she believed beforehand as well as her trying to decide if she wants to live another life.

Lily is such an honourable character. She has a huge heart, and wants to do better for those around her, no matter what religion they are or what they look like. She will put herself in danger to protect others time and time again because that is the right thing to do. Bel is a demon, but he is such a golden retriever that you can't help but love him. The way he is patient with Lily and how he respects the decisions that she makes is admirably, even if those decisions could harm him in the end. You feel their chemistry from the first time they meet, and I love that Lyn took her time in building their relationship.

This book also does a great job of what it means to be an adoptive parents and how Lily handles the whole situation is admirable.

I liked that Lynn had a whole different take on Demons, that they are actually really nice, in need of help and making sure that the souls go to the proper level in Hell depending if they were bad or horrible in their life. Your heart breaks a few times when younger souls come down and think they have been bad and deserve to to a level in hell based upon what they have been told by adults in their life.

The first 200 pages of this book are used to set up the afterworld and who Lily is as a character and this seems a little excessive. The book is over 600 pages that I feel like this part could have been shorten and more could have been focused on Bel, the war he was fighting as well as who was trying to access Hell. This part of the story is very much glazed over and not explained. I kept hoping that Lynn would have some battle scenes for Bel and who was trying to attack them, but this never happened.

This was a good read and i enjoyed my time, even if i thought it was a bit long. I would read another book by Lynn.

Enjoy!!!!
