HELL'S BELLS ring thee times and sends Lizzie Grace into another evil mystery. This time with a local vampire, a witch from the council, and a soul eater ... what could possibly go wrong.

Lizzie and her friend Belle Kent; who is her partner, a witch, and her familiar; just want to live and work in the Faelan Werewolf reservation, but at every turn the truth might come out. Lizzie is a member of a powerful witch family, but as a family disappointment, she and Belle ran away. away. Hiding under the radar is never easy but they had hoped that this time they would be safe.

Magic, since the disappearance of the last witch, is running wild in the reservation. It has taken a liking to Lizzie and helped her in the last mystery, but will it help her again or run even wilder? Evil in the form of a soul eater has arrived in the reservation and if they don't manage to corner it many souls will never get the chance to be reborn. Luckily they now have some supporters, including ranger Aiden O'Connor, who once hated witches, and now likes Lizzie. Too bad there is always something that keeps getting in the way of their first date.

HELL'S BELLS is fascinating! As a second book to author Keri Arthurs' Lizzie Grace books, it follows BLOOD KISSED and takes us back to this amazing new world of witches and werewolves. Lizzie and Belle are still hopeful that they will not be run out of town, as many of those in charge are very anti-witch. Aiden has done a turn about as far as his feelings for Lizzie, but they just can't seem to find time for their date. This, of course, adds to a number of hilarious moments as the townsfolk have come up with a pool on this and other factors in their "relationship."

I like the way Ms. Arthur has only given a few facts on the family that Lizzie is running from, as it keeps the reader wondering when they will finally show up or if they even care. As a reader, I want things to work out for these two women who are just trying to live their own lives peacefully, and the "not yet" romance is just as frustrating for me as it is for this couple, well maybe not. I am hopeful that there will be a little more spice in the the next offering.

HELL'S BELLS is a fascinating look into witches, werewolves, vampires, wild magic, and one very frustrating, constantly interrupted romance. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book of this series.

SUMMARY

When the church bell tolls thrice in the middle of the night, evil this way comes…

Lizzie Grace and Belle Kent, her witch familiar, are living and working on the Faelan Werewolf Reservation—one that has banned the use of magic within its borders. Although they have their supporters—including ranger Aiden O’Connor, who once hated all things witch—Lizzie and Belle now face possible eviction.

But the Faelan Reservation is a place filled with wild magic which—when left unprotected—quickly becomes a draw to those who walk the darker paths. As Christmas approaches, a new evil comes to town—one that eats the souls of the living and animates the flesh of the dead.

As the body count grows and the trail of clues leads them to the doorstep of the local vampire, Lizzie, Belle, and Aiden must find the killer before death comes calling on them.

But the biggest threat of all may come in the form of a witch who sees through the veils of Lizzie’s carefully constructed lies and suspects the truth of who she really is…
