Half-vampire, half-human, Nina Martinez spent most of her life underground as part of an elite secret team of government agents who 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.

Bad-ass heroine
+ hot male hero + unpredictable plot twists = AWESOME NOVEL.
I really loved this novel. It’s
not the first time I read urban fantasy books. Also not the first time I read
about a world wherein vampires, werewolves and leprechauns exist but this is unquestionably
one of my favorites!
The idea of Nina and the team,
the Blood Ops, working for the Department of Defense is exceptional. Having an Aunt who is a witch, a vampire for
a best friend and another best friend who is a banshee clearly states that Nina’s
life is anything but boring.
First, let’s talk about the Bad-ass Heroine. The funny lines and her
attempts at being normal at the beginning connected me right away with Nina.
She was bad-ass at times and clumsy on the other, which is pretty hilarious.
All throughout the book, Nina was discovering more of herself and her parents. She
was evolving into an even more kick-ass character.
Let’s get to the hot male hero. A vampire named Marcello(not the hot one I’m
talking about) attacked Nina at Babe’s, which our hot male character, Max,
saves our heroine. And what do you know, Max is an FBI agent! They’re growing relationship
with each other is sweet and gradual.
For the plot twists, well you read that she’s half vampire right? I
recommend you read this to know what the other half is.
So for Urban Fantasy fans out there, this book is for you. (If you’re a
fan of Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Banshee, Leprechauns or just looking for a
great read about bad-ass characters) Hell’s Belle is absolutely one of the
series you should watch out for. I need the sequel like tomorrow! And no, I’m
not kidding.
