Holy shit we hit 30 chapters!

I'm really enjoying my partial break, I ended up sleeping for about 20 hours off an on one day, so clearly I have some catching up to do. 

I look forward to hearing all your comments and edits! 

(Sorry this is brief, I promised my parental units that we would watch at least one episode of the Great Pottery Throw Down... two hours ago.)

I’m glad you are enjoying the break

Also is the Great Pottery Throw Down on Netflix?

AAAAAAAAAA THE FIRST “MOM” MY HEARTTTTTT

_Samikate_

Ahh the first mom moment was so cute 🥺

Debra Cimabue

Such a cliffhanger! Glad you are taking a break. Thanks for still writing.

Kali Chamberlain

Yes we have mom now! And you still need that bedazzled bat for TT lol 😂 totally have me wanting margaritas now 😄

Maida

I honestly can't pick a favorite moment from this chapter between 1) Sharkie becoming a wailing husky to spook the soul off 2) the community and understanding Lily received 3) Sharkie calling Lily "Mom" for the first time! Nervous for the battle in the next chapter! Glad you got some good sleep, that sounds amazing honestly!

Kristiane Laucht

There are too many things in this chapter that I just absolutely love, but Sharkie dropping "Mom" for the first time, is 100% in the top spot. 🥰

Emily Anderson

I’m so excited for the next chapter!!! The wait is gonna be horrible though!!!!!!! I love this, so many good moments. Bel is gonna come back really hurt huh? One way or another be it physical or emotional. I’m probably over thinking but I’m hyper thinking to be honest. So good, can’t wait for the next chapter!

Kim Bowie

Amazing stuff! Rest all you need, but damn girl, keep writing!

Trish Ramey

This might be my favourite chapter yet. Thank you for putting it out, but take all the time you need.🥰

Sam

Amazing as always, and a great showing of what it’s like to miss loved ones off fighting. 💙🩷💜 (As an aside, I was hoping Lily would seek out Angel and/or Greg about all this so they can bond, but also need to remind myself that Greg here is not Greg with Penny and that might not be part of the journey.)

Tina

Sharkie being their Sharkie best at the Hellp Desk was priceless 🤣 I can relate to the whole being called Mom thing. When my daughter (I refuse to call my children “step”) first called me mom I almost became the biggest puddle of mush. My ability to become pregnant was extinguished when I was 28 so I never thought I would ever be called mom. Enjoy your time off; it’s well deserved but thank you for the new chapter

Joe Beccue

Ok I almost cried when Sharkie said "Mom".

Jenny Shaw

SUCH a great chapter! I love ending it on a cliffhanger like that. I can handle it because I know Bel and Asmodeus will be okay. But whew! I love it!

Alexis Crespo

I am so glad you are still finding time to write. I love this chapter. Can't wait to see how the war turns out. Enjoy the rest of your break!!

Kat 💜

The absolute support for Lily from the families. The sock. Sharkie’s wail at the soul. Mom. Dad. Papa. Bel. This chapter has every bit of my heart. Please enjoy your break. Thank you for this even though you should be resting. Thank you for loving us more than we deserve. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go cry myself to sleep 🥺💜

Jen

Mom 🥹

Kat Waterflame

On first reading, I noticed a small tense typo on page 3: "Lily sucks her lips into her mouth..." should be "Lily sucked her lips into her mouth..." Also, Page 11 turned me into a puddle of tears. <3

B

Definitely will need a recreation of sharkie squeals 🤣 loved this whole chapter ❤️

C Williams

My favorite part was the sock, or Sharkie calling Lily Mom. Doesn't matter. Excellent as always. Kudos on 30 Chapters and many, many more.

Pluvia

I am loving your writing so much!! I audibly laughed at sharkie's moment at the hellp desk and cried when sharkie called lily mom. Teared up a little at the sock from the teen demon I just, your world building is amazing 🖤 i want a hardcopy and paperback when this goes to print! (I say when cause it should!!) I hope you're enjoying your break and I can't wait for more chapters!! 🖤🖤

PunisherLuv

This brought up some very old and deep feels it was so real life. families finding ways to carry on growing living just existing. Then seeing the pure innocence of a child's love and joy can lift any sorrow even if for just a moment. Enjoy your break and recharging your soul cant wait to see where you take this world and our hearts next

Thornblade

Sharkie calling Lily mom just broke me but by gods this is a wonderful chapter. I'm equally flustered and emotionally destroyed (in a good way due to character growth) and waiting for the next!! All that said, please take time for yourself. Enjoy your break and we'll be here when you get back. We love and appreciate whatever comes out but remember that even you, despite the fucking badass you are, still need a break. Enjoy yourself and we'll be here when you're ready. 🥰

Phil Mangefrida

At the end, I swear I heard the music from “The Battle of Helm’s Deep” when I read the line “It was time.”

?Eli?

OMG. SUCH A GREAT CHAPTER!! Sharkie calling Lily mom 🥹🩷 I can really picture sharkie wailing like a banshee, your ability to write in character development and it mold really well with the arcs you have going on tik tok will always amaze me Im so nervous for the next chapter and poor Bel and Asmodeus I hope your break is going well and you are able to get everything you need from it! Thank you for continuing to write, but remember that we will still be here if you need to pause that too

Embeth Arreyn

I don't have many words right now. As a military spouse, just... yeah. Thanks for always making me feel seen. And thanks for making me laugh so hard with Sharkie's Hellp Desk moment that I woke up my son. And thanks for the tears from the rest of it. Enjoy your break, take care of yourself.

Campertrash

I don't know if you're planning on writing out a combat/battle scene from Bel's POV, but I'd be beyond stoked if you did.

Mia Maradiaga

Such an amazing chapter! I am in tears! I hope you have the most amazing break!

Angela Wall

Such a chapter! Great job on this! Please do relax and enjoy your time away. Take time to relax and center yourself. We all understand and want the best for you. <3

Thomas Forrest

Another amazing chapter! Absolutely loved the first Mom, the fact that Lily is getting the help she needs, and Bel’s perspective. As much as I want to be mad at you for leaving us with such a cliffhanger, I am just happy that you were able to give us this while you’re on your break. Make sure to keep taking that you time, and don’t overdo it (even though I desperately want the next chapter lol)!

Peter Psareas

Great chapter. The fear and camaraderie of the soldiers was amazing. The love and care of all had me smiling and teary. Sharkies growth and wail and the first mom definitely got me. Your story telling is stellar. I cannot wait for the next chapter. Hope you are enjoying vacation.

Veronica Gordon

Oh Sharkie!!! I say this all the time but another amazing chapter!! I know Bel makes it out cos of Hells Belles, but I hope he’s ok

Jessica Manderson

Okay i had no intention of shedding tears but then...oh the cliffhanger - and now we have to wait. What a tease lol...

HillArias

So many feels in this chapter. That cliffhanger though!!!

Keith Frederick

God, that’s good storytelling. I was so invested that I think my heart rate went up. Your writing has improved so much over the course of this work, Jaysea. It’s honestly impressive.

Tyler Davie

Coincidentally, my wife and I just bought a large IKEA shark plushy, and now we fucking need it, gods damn.

jessiee

loved it. and Sharkie calling Lily “Mom” was the cutest part 😭♥️

Van Brewer

I swear, I think you started writing this book with a list of cliffhangers for each chapter! I think you must have a masters degree in anticipation. Another fantastic chapter where you captured a number of diverse perspectives that, per comments above, really resonate with your readers. Thank you again for all of your time, energy, heart, and soul that you put in to your creations. Really glad you are enjoying your much deserved break!! I have definitely had a few of those recovery days myself - somewhere between the morning nap, and the noon nap, and the afternoon nap you realize hey maybe I needed some sleep!!🤣🤣🤣

Jen

I love this. All of the Hells Belles world. You write superbly and portray all the characters so bloody well! All the nuances and emotions! I totally understand the need for a break to recharge and I hope that you have a lovely time. Take care :) xo

Carly Sellens

I am loving this series, your writing draws me into a world which I love and I can't wait to see how this plays out. I would also love some suggestions for some new books to read either spicy or not. Thank you and enjoy your break :)

Charlie T

the world building is incredible. I've wanted to leave a suggestion on emotion descriptions for a while now too though but it could NOT fit in a comment reasonably so how can I go about that? google doc link? and it's also not like I've been waiting for a significant other to return from battle but the waiting, I can feel the pain of the waiting so deeply.

Samantha Johnson

Ahhhh! Sooo good you have such a way of conveying feelings without either going over it so fast they don't really add heft or slowing down the flow of the story by belaboring the point trying to give them heft. Some of my beloved authors struggle with that. (They're still awesome though! You just have a gift) :)

Rayna Schmieder

I really want bel to come across a book titled "I fucked chathulu good" and get instantly jealous. I cannot wait for dad to return

Ginny susi

Loved it. I cried. I laughed. I was annoyed that it ended so soon.

Eldritch_Spook

Love it. Cried. Laughed. Cheered Bel on. Ya know. Typical 6 am activities.

Devilcat

Loved this. I can’t wait for the battle. As an ace, the sex parts don’t do it for me. But I do love a good well written battle and the emotions that come with it. I would love to see more of Greg and Bel’s interactions. And I would love to see how Greg is reacting to/handling Bel and Lily’s relationship. I enjoy friend/sibling relationships. I know that makes me weird.

Cynthia Hammons

Great way to wake up!!!! Can’t wait for the next chapter!!!

Stuart Grosse

Very nicely done. And take all the recharge time you need. You can't create anything if you burn yourself out.

Nicole Gatcomb

Why must you always kick me in the feels? The sock, Sharkie calling Lily mom!! And I know Bel comes home and is at least eventually ok, but that doesn't stop me from worrying.

Nicole Gatcomb

Doesn't make you weird. Friend/sibling relationships are very relatable. I hope we get a future Hells Bells where one of Lily's brothers comes and sees the pile of socks. I'll probably end up sobbing because that's a relationship I can easily understand since I have a brother and would do the same to him.

Judy Sullivan

Even KNOWING he survives the battle, I’m on edge! Beautifully written! Love the Sharkie honk! And the “mom” scene!

Renee Johnson

Ugh! Not a cliffhanger! I know he will physically be fine. But emotionally? I worry about who Bel will loose. Lilly and Sharkie will help him heal, but I still worry.

La Yuca Mala

This was a good chapter holy shit

Kathryn Coll

Sharkie's reaction to that one soul soothed a part of my retail & customer-support scarred soul. The mom scene made me tear up and I think I scared the neighbors when I cracked up at the "vibe death" convo.

Claudia

Jesus Christ on toast. I'm not even done yet, but I had to comment on Sharkie. The Original Hellp Desk Wail is *hysterical* and my entire upper body hurts from laughing.

Anthea ✨

Such a good chapter, wow. Loving the cliffhanger too lol

Monique

This chapter was amazing. We got silly Sharkie, family titles and Bel, trying to hold on to get back to his family. 😭

Marleen Mcknight

This conjured all the feels. That support group, omg

JustSurvibing

Laughed, sobbed, screamed at the cliff hanger. Love love love as always.

Amy Tarleton

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! The cliffhanger!!! (SO good - I’m a little mad at you 😉)

Jes Land

Ooooooo this chapter was so good!

Sarah

Ahhhhh cliffhanger!!!! It was so good.

Carrie Brooks

Anyone else stop all other activity when Jaysea drops a new chapter?

Audrey

I was crying by page 2 ! You do things to my emotions. You really make us feel with the characters.

PunisherLuv

yes (hiding my face in embarrassment) i've been leaving this app open in the corner of my screen afraid i'd miss the new posts. pls don't judge me

Tara

If this doesn’t get picked up by a streaming service there will be riots!

TheDiceSmith

I love this series and im so glad i found out about the patreon. I love this book and its emotional strings it pulls on my heart. Keep up the amazing work!

Claire Moores

This was such a good chapter. I appreciate the mood swings from scene to scene. They mirror the worry and tension and love and care of each of the characters. Also, you like the Great Pottery Showdown too? It’s both fun and frustrating to watch.

Maryann

Beautifully written, as usual. 🙂 This chapter gave me all the feels! Very well done indeed. 🩷

PurpleGoblin

I cried at the sock and then at Sharkie. This is amazing.

Sarah Holden

Ahhhh Sharkie calling her mom 😭

Anna Fultz

I finally got a chance to read this and I'm now crying at work. First cause how much I understand that fear and grief (my partner was Navy on 9/11), and then because Sharkie called Lilly Mom. You capture and portray these deep emotions so well. Thank you.

Jada treglown

I think writing should def be your chosen career. The story is amazing and I tell everyone I know about it hoping to bring more people into the weekly waiting game

KK

I swear waiting for the next chapter is gonna be the death of me between the videos and the pre story I just can't get enough and it's killing me. U are an amazing writer and I can't wait to see all the amazing things u create... even if I go crazy waiting for the next chapter 😅😅🥰🥰

love-bookswillbetheendofme

I had to reread the enemies' name a few times, as I thought it was "GREGony", and I was trying to figure out why Greg was attacking them!!! The "Mom" scene and the fact that Bel kept the braids for so long both had me a bit teary-eyed!!!

Jennifer Cathren

I don’t get teary eyed but Sharkie asking Lily to be their mom and Bel keeping in the braids as long as he could… awwwwww!!! And poor Asmodeus!

Andrew Parrish

Damn cliff hangars .. another great chapter!

lightningfury

he's fine. he's fine we KNOW he's fine. also I love that Sharkie is calling Luci Papa and Bel Dad. I don't think we see the Luci is Papa in the videos.

Bianca Nicole

I know this is the prequel, I know Bel and Azzy are okay in the end. But fuck, I am still anxious as hell with that ending.

Michele Williams

I absolutely love Sharkie. And Lily. And the rest of the family. This universe you've created is lovely and heartwarming and heartwrenching and so, so beautiful. Angst and fluff and smut and hurt/comfort and all the things that make up a good story all done so well... It's been a while since I got hooked on a new fandom, but you've definitely done the job.

Tzwaenia.fox

I know he and Azzy will be fine, I know I but being anxious anyway. So in love with all of your characters. Awesome chapter but worst cliffhanger!

Patricia Volpe

Ok. So I KNOW. They both make it out ok. But like the time that bell forgot to text that he was back and sharkie “except that one time.” BROOOOOO

TheDustySeals official

I love your writing, but damn, you cant leave us hanging like that :D cant wait for the next chapter!!!

Marloes

I am crying like a garden sprinkler here over Lily's family of army spouses and her kitchen moment with Sharkie 🥹❤️❤️

Stephanie Della Rocca

Omg thank you for the update but oh man. That utterly drew me in.

Michelle Sanders

I'm so freaking greedy to have this book in my hand and done already 🤣🤣 till,, thank you for sharing it with us so far... I'll just be over here curled up and dying in between chapters 💗💗

Hannah Gibson

UGH THE LEGIT TEARS YOU MANAGE TO MAKE ME CRY EVERY TIME IS REMARKABLE

Carol johnson

I hate this war. Knowing the outcome does not change the misery.
