For Whom the Belle Tolls Kindle Edition
غ
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 costs: 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.

About the author
Jaysea Lynn was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and has always been a lover of fantasy and storytelling. After graduating from college, she purchased and lived aboard a 35-foot sailboat for eight years. During that time, she found success with Hell’s Belles, her comedy/drama skit series on TikTok, and gained the confidence to share her writing, which had been a lifelong but private passion. When she’s not writing or pursuing other creative endeavors, she can be found with her nose in a book, going for walks, finding random adventures, or trying to perfect a cup of coffee (with mixed success).

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2024Having followed Jaysea on TikTok for a few years, and was there to witness the birth of the Hellp Desk skits, I quickly subscribed to her Patreon, and devoured the first draft of this book as it was being written. I bought this yesterday and finished it in the early hours of this morning.
The world building in this novel is one of the most imaginative, and comforting imaginings of what the afterlife would be like. The characters are easy to fall in love with, and the storyline is beautiful. It's very well written (it's hard to believe this is a debut novel) and easy to read, so much so that you can delve into it and not realise that you've lost hours to this book.
There are several sex scenes that get spicy, but aren't exactly integral, so if that isn't your thing you can skip them and you lose nothing of the actual story.
I think it's important to give a content warning for child abuse (which is included in the preface). This is handled so well, so respectfully, and it's important to note, is not gratuitously there for the sake it.
Very imaginative, plenty of funny moments, and a lot of heartbreaking and poignant moments that make you well up. This has been my ultimate comfort book for some time now, and in it's final published edition, it'll remain so for a long, long time.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2025This story is so beautiful, tugs at the heart and relatable in ways you don’t find very often. Well written and characters that are brilliant. Well worth the read!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2025What can I say to convince everyone to read this book?
This book had me crying and sobbing. The way this book had torn my heart up and pieced it back together over and over. Lily, our FMC is a wonderfully funny and broken woman who dies of cancer. The story follows her new existence in the afterlife and her adventures in Hell.
Lily is badass, funny and most importantly, real. The way Lily was written is just real. Reading this book feels like a friend telling you an epic tale of her adventures after not seeing her for years. She's just human.
Now let's talk MMCs. Demons? ✔️ Sexy Demons? ✔️ Funny and Nerdy Demons? ✔️
What else can I say?? All the men were so clearly written by a woman it's insane.
I've been following the story of the Hellp Desk (hahaha. IYKYK) for a while now on tiktok, the book couldn't have been any better. I couldn't have asked for more. I cannot wait for book 2!!!
If the above still hasn't convinced you, this is a spicy (very good spice), funny and emotional romance fantasy. The world building is really great and introduced as the story goes. This is duel POV from FMC and MMC. Sentient houses and cute pets are also included. Now please! JUST READ IT!!!!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2024I knew going in I would love this book. As a big fan of Hells Belles, it was always going to be a book I would fall in love with. The characters feel as well represented as they do in the show, if not more so, and everything about it felt incredible.
What I perhaps wasn’t expecting was for this book to make me cry more than once, and to be written so incredibly well. I would never have assumed this is a first book, and while I know that we may not get more books of the Belles, I would be so happy to read more and more of this world, and of Jaysea’s work.
Incredibly written, incredibly emotive, wonderfully sexy and a damn well paced look into grief, emotion and healing.
Recommended to anyone even slightly interested in fantasy, romance, healthy relationships or found family.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2025My only complaint with this book is that it gave me an eye strain headache because I seriously couldn't stop reading it. I've loved the Hell's Belles series on TikTok and learning about the origins of the characters has been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm even writing this with tears in my eyes.
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough for fans of satirical or erotic fantasy. It is well written creative, humourous, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and thrilling in equal measure.
All in all, it was an honour to read, and I can't wait to see what the author does next.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2025Absolutely amazing, crying, laughing, all round perfect, I loved it, watching hells bells from close to the beginning I went in knowing that it was a prequel of sorts, it was perfect it gave all the right amount of description that was needed, I could picture everything in my head, and absolutely loved reading the conversations with other characters, I can’t wait for more
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2025As someone who waited with baited breath for this release, stepping into the world of Hell's Belles once more was like coming home.
It had me kicking up my feet, giggling, laughing hysterically, repeatedly screeching "THEY SAID THE THING!" and crying (good tears) Seeing characters that I adored come to life again in pages was such a treat.
But it isn't just for the fans. There's so much healing in these pages, such understanding from the writer and it truly makes you feel more accepted, and more able to accept yourself.
I can't wait to see what comes next.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2024I loved all of it. Perfect way to finish 2024.
From the title of Beef to the genuine kindness and goodness from people being assertive (in the good way) really expands the emotional reach of the story. I liked that the "big bad" in the war of the universes actually went into the empathy that Epic the musical tries to explain occurs within war. There was a reason for everything and I cried numerous times and cited Taylor Swift as a response to certain areas of the book. The spice/smut was fantastically written. Generous description and good length per scene without cutting things too short or dragging them out unnecessarily.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hellp Desk Tolls for You and Me
The prequel to her TikTok Series, Hell's Belles, Jaysea Lynn’s For Whom the Belle Tolls is a dazzling journey through the afterlife that masterfully blends romance, humor, and heartache with a generous dash of spice. At its core, this is a story of second chances—not just in love, but in life, relationships, and understanding oneself. Lily’s raw and relatable journey is intertwined with Beleth, a demon whose dark charisma hides layers of complexity and vulnerability. Their connection is fiery, forbidden, and irresistibly steamy, bringing an intensity to the narrative that will thrill romance lovers.
The story also shines with its exploration of found family. Lily’s relationships with the quirky, sharp-tongued demons and misunderstood souls around her bring a warmth and depth to the tale, underscoring that family is more about connection than blood. From laugh-out-loud banter to tear-jerking moments of solidarity, the ensemble cast is unforgettable.
What sets this romance apart is the balance between heart and heat. The slow-burn tension between Lily and Beleth evolves into scenes of sizzling chemistry, offering the kind of emotional and physical intimacy that will make readers swoon. Coupled with Beleth’s perspective, which reveals his struggles with duty, desire, and redemption, the story dives deep into themes of trust, vulnerability, and love that defies expectations.
Lynn’s vividly imagined afterlife—a tapestry of judgment, choice, and justice—creates a stunning backdrop for a tale that is both emotionally rich and irresistibly spicy. With its sharp wit, inventive world-building, and unforgettable romance, For Whom the Belle Tolls is the perfect read for fans of steamy speculative fiction, found-family dynamics, and soul-stirring stories of love and redemption.
Highly recommended for those looking for a romance that’s as fiery as it is heartfelt!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to end a year and start the new one
This book was everything I hoped for and more! After enjoying just about every part of Hell's Bells on TikTok, I thought I knew what I was getting myself into, but this was an emotional rollercoaster all the way through. I squealed when Bel saw Lily the first time, cried not just once with Sharkie and probably scared my man more times than necessary with a maniac grin or two.
I couldn't pick a favourite scene if I had to, simply because every single line felt precious and important on its own but together built such a beautiful and inspiring story.
I'll probably start reading it again from the beginning now. Or cry some more.
- Victoria BlythReviewed in France on 31 December 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome !!
I absolutely love the Tik Tok sketches, so getting a chance to read a prequel to them was just absolutely awesome!
I love all the winks at the different videos, and how easy it was to read. I just couldn't wait to find out what would happen in the chapters that I read it in less than 2 days.
The rhythm is really good, and I loved the balance of serious, comic, sadness, joy and smut !
Will absolutely recommend !
