More About This Book

Overview

John Grey is dead… and that’s just the beginning.

Purgatory should have been a safe haven for souls that belong neither in Heaven nor Hell, but instead John finds himself in a corrupt prison, one bereft of freedom or pleasure. Along with his decedent friend Dante, John makes a brave escape, only to fall straight down to Hell and into the arms of Rimmon, a handsome incubus. John is soon recruited as Hell’s ambassador, visiting the afterlife realms of other cultures to enlist an army strong enough to stand against Heaven. As interesting as his new job is, John’s mind keeps returning to Purgatory and the souls still trapped there. Somehow John must stop a war he doesn’t believe in and liberate Purgatory, all while desperately trying to attract the attention of an incubus whose heart belongs to another.

Meet the Author

Jay Bell never gave much thought to Germany until he met a handsome foreign exchange student. At that moment, beer and pretzels became the most important thing in the world. After moving to Germany and getting married, Jay found himself desperate to communicate the feelings of alienation, adventure, and love that surrounded this decision, and has been putting pen to paper ever since.

    A mixed bag: Fun and easy, but Bell needs to work on his romance

    I want to preface this review by saying, on the whole, I enjoyed this read. Given the subject matter, Bell dealt with it in a light, fun manner. I liked Bell's use of various mythologies to flesh out the world Bell creates and unique incorporation of elements from The Divine Comedy.
    Unfortunately, I felt that it moved too fast-- I rarely ever identified with the protagonist, John Grey, because the plot was pushed through so quickly, there wasn't much room to explore John, Rimmon or Dante with any real satisfaction. The romance left a lot to be desired. The ultimate resolution didn't bother me, but John's thoughts about his situation didn't seem genuine.
    Lastly, the writing was....inconsistent. Sometimes it was great, but other times I felt I was reading the work of a 14-yr-old. I'm sorry but describing characters as 'smoking hot' and fresh from a model shoot left a lot to be desired.
    For a quick, fun read I highly recommend this, but don't expect to much.

    Astonishing - 5 stars

    Jay Bell continues to surprise with his literary prowess.


    Hell's Pawn is an incredible work of fantasy fiction. A roller coaster of a ride that dives head first into mythology and religion in its many guises and forms. Bell uses the differing constructs to weave a story that is both engaging but also, whether intentional or not, an education in its own right. Bell has a commanding grasp of his chosen subject matter and the research he has done in this field is obvious.


    The story centres around John Grey, or more precisely his soul, caught in the no man's land of Purgatory, neither being Heaven nor Hell. All is not right in this world however John manages to escape only to find himself in Hell. Here he meets Rimmon, an Incubus who is sent to seduce John in order to win his favour in support of a task that Hell requires of him.


    His task is to amass an army, rallying the Gods of other realms and religions to join the Legions of Hell in attempting to bring order back to Purgatory, however it soon becomes apparent that Purgatory may not be the final goal of Hells plan.


    Those who are already familiar with Bells work, will find the style and pace of this book as equally familiar, however it is obvious that he is growing as a writer, and Hells Pawn is as polished a piece of writing as I have read from any commercial author.
