Ratings and reviews

Overall the book was okay. Probably just not for me, because there were several tropes I just don't care for. I was underwhelmed by the character development. There was a lot of clear attempts to add depth but it still all felt surface level. It was just a lot of acceptance without much work, but I guess thats Paradise for you? I actually found myself more interested in the side characters. Lily was just not my favorite but since she seems to be an author self-insert, that might be why. I didn't enjoy that aspect. I found some of the plot points to be unnecessary, or they didn't make sense, and the ending was incredibly predictable. Also now knowing what the author looks like and drawing some notable similarities between Bel and a particular animated gargoyle, it started to read like a self-insert fanfiction and turned me off. Once I made this connection, whether it was intentional or not, it was very hard to get through the final chapters.

It's like a bad fanfiction. I have no idea why everyone kept giving this book five stars. I'm starting to suspect that these are bought reviews. It's just so corny and childish at times, and only mildly entertaining. I really regret spending money on this. 👎

magical and healing. I have watched helle's belles since the beginning, I have rewatched it on multiple occasions. it healed a part of me I never knew needed healing. the TikTok series helped me in ways I never knew it would. I'm not even finished with the book yet and I have cried and laughed and screamed while reading/listening to this masterpiece. the book encompasses the soul and heart of its original source material. I have slept better and fuller than I have in months. this book is healing

About the author

Jaysea Lynn was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. After graduating from college, she purchased and lived aboard a thirty-five-foot sailboat for eight years, during which she found success with Hell’s Belles, her comedy/drama skit series on TikTok (@Sea.Ya.Later), and gained the confidence to share her lifelong passion of writing. She can often be found with her nose in a book, going for walks, embarking on random adventures, or trying to make the perfect cup of coffee (with mixed success).
