The Reading Spot

Hell's Belles (Hell on Earth Book 1) by Jackie Kessler
Interesting. I enjoyed this one. I had been hearing a lot about this one and how great it was and I was not disappointed. The only thing that threw me was the first time that she time shifted in the chapters telling you the backgroud of the story and Jezebel. You would be reading and then the next chapter took place before "The Announcement". The story revolves around "The Announcement" that Lucifer made and you go back and forth pre- and post- Announcement. So the first time that threw me until I started paying attention to the chapter titles and looking for it. But it was a fun and hot book. (The next book The Road to Hell comes out in November.)
Warning: because I know some of you in my blog world do not like it when the heroine sleeps with someone other than the hero, she does.

She's A Hot Demon On The Run From Hell-- Which Isn't Easy To Do In Heels.
Once upon a time, Jezebel was a powerful succubus, capable of seducing men and sucking out their souls. But that was before Hell put a bounty on her head. Now her only chance to escape a fate far worse than death is to live as a mortal, losing herself in a sea of unfamiliar humanity, in a place where sinners walk hand-in-hand with saints--a place like Belle's strip club in New York City.
Working as an exotic dancer is a piece of cake for a former demon who once specialized in sex. Taking money from men? Please. It's like leading lawyers to the Lake of Fire. Plus the lingerie is great. But she hadn't counted on meeting sexy Paul Hamilton, a man haunted by his past. Good-bye, succubus; hello, lovestruck. Learning all about how complicated--and pleasurable--love can be, Jezebel thinks she's turned her back on Hell.
But Hell hasn't stopped looking for her. The secrets Jezebel holds are the most dangerous of all, the kind every demon in the Underworld would do their worst to protect. Demons are closing in, which is enough to make Jezebel shiver in her G-string. But it's her love for Paul that's going to have deadly consequences...
