While I did my best, that is a very 'mostly google' translation, so if any of you know Latin... my apologies. 

As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts! All helpful critique is more than welcome! (I'm in a rush to write this bit because I want ice cream and I have to go to the store before it closes, I'm sorry!) 

Please do not repost this anywhere else!

Ice cream is always an acceptable excuse!

Joedraj22

Ice cream is probably more important if I’m honest

Kimberly

Yes the best part of my week.

Syd San99

This was so damn wholesome

Ollie

Heart pound* pg 10

Rian Domi

Honestly Ice cream is a very legitimate excuse to be in a rush. But great chapter! Very sweet and wholesome. I just know one of the next few chapter is gonna wreck me emotionally

Anij Walker

I can't wait to find out how she figured out she could stay and have a child

Metalupis

I do love seeing these characters slowly become the ones we know from tiktok, getting details and references filled in, finding out the how of some of the things talked about there

G

Yes!! Lily is figuring out that staying is an option. I’m wondering how she figured out giving up her ability to reincarnate is a thing

Tina

Love it! The panic when Sharkie came home during sexy time…spot on 🤣🤣

Daniel Mann

Yeah!!!!! Loved it! So great to see her become the Lily we all love!

Anij Walker

I have also watched her videos multiple times as well. I am referring to how she originally found out, and who told her. Because I think it would be an incredible chapter

Ashley Poindexter

It’s 10:20 pm and I was in the middle of making a salad, but I had to stop to read this ☺️😍

pidge

screaming, crying, throwing up. I love this series so much and I love where this chapter is pushing the story!!

Amber Chisholm

That was wonderful! The thought of the honey sounds yummy!! I cant wait for her to tell bel she is staying

Tzwaenia.fox

It's 4 in the morning, I just finished working at a convention I really love and I was hoping this notification would come before I finally sleep. Jaysea I love it. I love to see the character development, seeing Lily figuring out that staying in the afterlife is an option and that she maybe just belongs there. Also love the Latin quote, to tired to check if it's right but I think it might be my next tattoo idea if that's alright for you?

C Williams

Brilliant as always. I'm beginning to love Carlton more and more.

Tiffany Nolan

So amazing, love it. Well written and beautiful.

Mark

Another great episode down. I can't believe with all of my life and work experience, I REALLY look forward to reading every new chapter of your book on Saturday night. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Christina Marshall

Another amazing chapter. I love seeing the growth between Lily and Bel. Sharkie is definitely blossoming as the chapters go on. Jaysea, you are definitely a talented writer! I fell in love with the Hell’s Belles series on TikTok before I found your patron. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us.

Bianca Nicole

Ooo is Lily gonna have a chat with luci about what it means to stay in the afterlife? I get she will wait til after the ceremony for the fallen. I just loved her last sit down with luci so much, I just want him being smug and happy she caught on to his hints.

Alisha Hobgood

Loving the chapters! Honestly can’t believe you came up with such an amazing story and universe it’s absolutely incredible!

Skyler

PLEASE the way Carlton confiscated their bread and butter took me out

La Tricia Ransom aka OlivenBoo

Another great chapter. Them settling into intimate familiarity after that white-hot can’t-wait-to-get-you-home rush of lust was sweet and tender and well rendered. I was giddy to see you answered my question of what it must be like getting nasty in a semi-sentient house, too! *fist pump* Their horrified realization was hilarious, and Carlton indicating his understanding of privacy was cute. Now if only Sharkie could grasp that. lol

PunisherLuv

I'm thinking a convo with the individual from the front dethk I think her name was Sedia they mentioned it when getting coffee with Lily

JustSurvibing

Sweet simple and a great set up chapter for the funeral and Lily choosing to stay

RubyRedDemise

I will always drop things to read this. Another beautiful chapter. Btw hope Carlton didn’t remove the scratches on the bed! Gotta savor those. Can’t wait til she makes the decision official and regains her heartbeat.

Devilcat

Strength through understanding. This has become my new phrase. And I love it. It applies to so many things in my life. It’s amazing how it feels when the person you are talking to takes time to understand you and what you are saying without judgement or preconceived ideas. It truly is amazing. Thank you for the chapter. As always amazing.

The peanut butter- ear only??? 😂

Embeth Arreyn

Oooh she's going to find out! ❤️

PunisherLuv

Absolutely brilliant!!!! Love the way you handled delicate and sensitive topics and according to my linguistic cousin you translation is correct he said you might also like this one sanitatem per caritatem

Van Brewer

Carlton is, truly, all that and a bag of chips. +20 wisdom, buddy. Also, referring to the Almighty Baby Grenade chapter, good example of how it’s important for them to make time for themselves. 💙💙💙

Phil Mangefrida

Vanilla/Fudge Twirl ice cream, milk, chocolate Syrup, and a triple shot of chocolate liquor. Blend. Pour in a glass. Top with whip cream and garnish with a shaved piece of a Hershey bar.

Kristiane Laucht

Demonic weighted blanket 😈 The puns, Carlton, and Lily's introspection. All of it *chefs kiss* You are brilliant at making us feel what your characters are going through, be it a raging battle, the soft and quite moments of love and peace, or the absolute fire that burns between Lily and Bel. It's a powerful thing you can do, and we thank you for it. ❤️

Peter Psareas

Loved this as usual. I agree with those saying Lily will talk with Luci. Cannot wait.

Keith Frederick

As a parent, I have to point out that finding chances to fuck is not bad parenting. It is necessity.

love-bookswillbetheendofme

The ending had me a bit teary-eyed! Lily has such a hard decision to make. Hopefully Luci can clear some things up!

Mark

I'm probably not the typical Hell's Belles reader - I'm a Boomer, cis male, former police officer, was VP for a digital printing/publishing company, and stumbled onto Tik Tok awhile back. I've been inexplicably drawn into Hell's Belles and Jaysea's world and simply can't get enough of them, which shows her skills as a content creator, writer, and actor. Jaysea crosses all sorts of lines/barriers/norms to engage a broad range of people, and I couldn't be more excited to see what she does next.

Shay

Every time I finish a chapter, I am upset. I want moooooooooooore!! So good!! ❤️ I laughed out loud at the bread puns then Carlton taking the bread and butter caused me to put down my phone for a minute to giggle!

Sarah Erickson

Fantastic, sexy and hilarious all at once!! One question, though - in an earlier chapter didn't Lily say she no longer breathes? Thought of that when she was holding her breath waiting for Bells reaction to the motto.

ScaryMamaBear

Carlton CONFISCATED their bread and butter!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Eldritch_Spook

The way I imagined Carlton’s “face” with their puns has me rolling

Leah

Ahhhhhhh, I always wish there was more, it’s the best part of my week!

WitlessWonder1327

How has Carlton became my favorite book character of all time?

SeaYaLater

Go for it! I’m trying to decide if it’s super shitty of me to get it as a tattoo as well 😅

Samantha Johnson

You are KILLING ME HERE I love love love this book, wouldn't change a thing about where and how and who but the chapter by chapter is killing me. I want it all NOW lol then Penny and Greggles as I love them just as much. Can't wait for the next chapter...and I mean that. ;)

Emily Barteaux

I love this so much!!! I can't wait for Lilly to decide to stay. I know she kind of already has, but I'm excited to see how you put it into words!!

Thomas Forrest

I was so happy to see that question answered too! I really wasn’t sure how it could be answered, but the way Jaysea answered it in this chapter is perfect, and just the answer I didn’t know I was looking for!

Thomas Forrest

At this point I feel like the “Another amazing chapter!” Is obligatory and assumed 😂 But it’s true yet again! I loved getting the introspective into my Main Man? House? 😂 Carlton and his intricacies! I also loved the casual family groove that Lily, Bel, and Sharkie have found (even if finding time for sex is a new concept 😂)! As much as I hate to admit it, I feel like we’re approaching an eventual stopping point for the prequel. That being said, I can’t wait for the Penny and Greg book, and the future timeline books with the whole gang that are sure to come! For now, I’m looking forward to Lily’s decision, and seeing her talk with Luci and the Universe to figure out what her decision entails! Can’t wait for more! #publishthebeefcake

Cici

I can’t wait for when Lily finds out that she can stay and have babies of her own one day… I already know it’s gonna make me bawl like a baby😭

Jenny Shaw

Oooh!!! Lily has a decision to make!! I love this story so much! Imma buy the SHIT outta this when you publish it someday!!

Nonakris

“I loaf” this chapter honestly has serious mixed in with comedic and just pure love you feel flowing between bel & lilly and the parental love they have for sharkie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bri Walker

Amazing chapter as always. I really hope we get to find out the process she went thru in finding out she can stay and have a family, have Bel's child someday. I'm really interested how that discovery came about. ❤️

Rebekah Shute

Absolutely love this another amazing chapter thank you so much

Monique

These two dorks are so in love 😭😭😭😭 And they’re a family 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Kat Waterflame

Amazing chapter, once again! Only typo I caught (other than an extra space after a period on page 3) was on page 10, toward the bottom, where "pond" should've been "pound" in the part "...to pond when a soul yelled at her..."

Docteur Roux

This past week I read every chapter you posted and almost every single one have me cry (in a good way)... I'm so grateful for your amazing work 💙 Everytime I read a new chapter I'm overwhelmed with healing and understanding through your words Thank you thank you thank you 💙💙💙💙💙

Caboosz

This just keeps getting better and better Jaysea! the beautifull love story of Bel and Liliy is just fantastic! it realy makes you think about whats important in a releationship.

Louise Monahan

I love her thoughts. Can t wait until she tells Bel that she s staying. I ll cry so much.

Ariel Rhodes

I woke up to find there was a new chapter. It was beautifully written Jaysea. You are such a great writer. I love that Lily has her little family.

Jada treglown

I have visions of all the books lined up( you made an amazing series out of the beefcake and there covers all make an awesome picture) and watching the movies and being mad they left out stuff from the books. I am in love with this series and the characters, I love getting to read the new chapter every week and the excitement that comes with it.

Anna Warren

Such warm fuzzy thoughts, lovely

John Baudry

Translatio, qua usus est, perfectus est

Karen Wright

I honestly look forward to new chapter for Sunday morning all week long.

Shellby Miles

The scene of Bel and Lilly rushing to get dressed before Sharkie opens the door is *chefs kiss*. As a mom, been there done that! It’s perfectly portrayed.

Kat

The spice, honey, and bread humor. SO GOOD!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰

Jes Land

I swear this book just keeps getting better and better.

Lena Hanouna

I have to say, I didn’t find this chapter as good as the others. Don’t get me wrong, it is still good and it is still you but it felt too rushed for me. Also I didn’t feel as much emotion as I usually do when reading your book. But maybe it’s just me, I mean I am sick and I’m bed so I don’t know. Anyway, can’t way for the next chapter !

Judy Sullivan

I absolutely love the puns, the almost getting caught by Sharkie, and the “truce” with Carl. The glimpse of her putting the pieces together to realize she wants to stay are a nice touch. Obviously we know her decision, but to se wit come together is neat

Kat 💜

My apologies, I was just able to read this morning. Excellent, as always. The universe wrote Lily for Bel. There's no other way to say it. The scramble when Sharkie came home was Epic. And... um... may I please have a Carlton? Like, yesterday, please? 💜 p.s. you nailed the Latin!

Dana Netherton (he or him)

I love, love, LOVE your insight! May I offer another "take" on the Latin? I'll give it, and then I'll discuss it. VIR PER SENSUM Now, I'm no expert on Latin (either). But my Liberal Arts degree had a strong emphasis on Classics, we did study Classical Greek, and we did look at Classical Age rhetoric. So here's my thinking. "Vires" is the plural of "Vir." Are we talking about "strengths" here, or "strength?" "Per" works, and it takes the accusative. That is, the "which" of the "through which" implied by "per" must look like the object of a phrase or sentence - not the subject. "Intellectu" looks odd - is it a typo? The word's nominative case ("subject") is "intellectus;" its accusative case ("object") is "intellectum." Since we're using "per" as the "through" word here, then grammatically, "intellectum" would work better here than "intellectu." (I think.) That said, doesn't "intellectus/intellectum" smell like understanding something, well, intellectually? Isn't Lily thinking about an "understanding" that would be more, well, visceral? I mean, when I think of the people (the very few people) who "get" me, that's where I'm going. Another factor: the Classical Latin folks went for short pithy sayings. Like the Spartans perhaps. "Intellectu[m]," well, it doesn't sound *Roman* (to me). When I leaf through my Cassell's Latin Dictionary, the word "sensus" looks promising. It can be used for physical feelings. It can be used for emotional feelings. It can also be used for intellectual thinking - and (it sez here) Cicero used it to refer to "way of thinking, attitude of mind." And it's short - terse, even! Finally, going back to "vir:" would we agree that Bel might enjoy a personal motto that alludes to "virility?"

Dana Netherton (he or him)

One other completely different thing, and this might be just-me. I find it quite difficult to read the font you're using, unless I Do Some Stuff: read it on my 14" tablet, turn the tablet landscape, expand the document's magnification until it's edge-to-edge horizontally. Granted, I am 73 years old, and I do sometimes find it difficult to read text in small type. But I don't usually have this problem when I read other PDF files. Just here. I think two things are at play. First, to my eye the letters on this font seem "fainter" than the letters on the fonts I see in other documents. The letters in those other documents look "darker" than these letters. Second, and this could be related to the "first" one, the strokes on this typeface look "skinny" to me - compared to those I see elsewhere. Could it help to use a "serif" typeface instead of the "sans serif" one you're using now? (And which is like the "sans serif" typeface that Patreon uses here) Perhaps. Sometimes the added "strokes" on fonts such as Times New Roman help readers identify a word's letters just-a-little more quickly. But perhaps it has to do with the specific Sans Serif font you've been using. Since my PDF readers don't tell me which font I'm seeing, I can't offer specific suggestions. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of your writing. I'm happy to Do Some Stuff in order to read it! But since I just popped up with one suggestion, I thought I'd throw in another one. Rest. Hydrate. Write. (please)

LOVE CARLTON!!

Autielin_the_witch

Cheers to Carlton the best house ever!! He’s got everything covered. Even Bel and Lily’s behinds. And I know the feeling of thinking too hard. It makes the spine rigid. Sleep is good. Hope u got ur ice cream!

Vana

It just keeps getting better and better and I fall more in love with the characters with each passing chapter. One note I have is that on pg 10 when Lily is talking about her heart it should be pound instead of pond. ❤️

Vana

Whats the milk for? Like on the side or just on top like ice cream cereal?

Jennifer Cathren

The bread puns!!!! Love that! I simply can’t get enough of this book! I can’t wait for the next chapter 💙💙💙

Shawnee904

I loved the banter they have. Carlton came through when it was really needed. I loved watching her work through where she wanted to be.

Maryann

Truly wonderful. 🥰

ScaryMamaBear

“Vires per intellectum” successfully translates on google translate as “strength through understanding”. I love this idea!

Brandi Staples

The first time I read the words “strength through understanding,” it made me cry. It made me cry this time too. I connect with it on such a deep, personal level. Its such a wonderful concept and I love it. Thank you for writing it so eloquently

LE Clark

i just love this series so fucking much!!!!

Yaz

I am absolutely LOVING this prequel!!!!! You are an amazing writer

Charissa Thomas

It has been so long since I have gotten so lost in a book I haven’t wanted to put it down. You are an amazing writer

Siege223

I was not expecting to have binged this entire thing (up until this point) in two days, but good lord I haven't been able to stop reading it. I've had to hide it, 'cause it's dirty-dirty, while reading it at work but boy-howdy I love it. Looking forward to more and more of this amazing story!

lightningfury

so wonderful so so so so wonderful

I find it incredibly helpful to send the file to the Kindle app. I’m doing it on my phone, but maybe a tablet will be the same? I haven’t tried opening it with other programs or apps to see if it’s easier to read or adjust. Here’s what works for me: - Open the document - Tap upload icon at the bottom of the screen (square with arrow on my iPhone) - Select Kindle - !!!MOST IMPORTANT!!! Next to “pdf options,” tap “keep original layout” to switch to “change layout format”. Then send it to kindle, and when you open it there it’s already in the font you’ve set, and can be adjusted if needed. Hope this helps!

MaraBellJade

Umm, so I’m new to the monster romance genre. Please, someone point me in the right direction to more authors either published or fanfic.

Former Latin student here! The phrase "Vires per intellectu" is a somewhat literal translation of "strength through understanding" (to be expected from google translate), however being such a literal translation it doesn't really... work in Latin. The very first thing that sticks out to me is the first word, “vires”. The actual base word for strength is "vis", "vires" is the plural form of it, meaning the phrase as it is here would actually be "strengths through understanding", but that's just details. It's important to note that Latin word order and grammar can be quite different from English. While "Vires per intellectu" conveys the general idea you want, it's not a typical or idiomatic way to express this concept in Latin. In Latin, word order is more flexible than in English due to its highly inflected nature. However, for a phrase like "Strength through understanding," you might consider a more idiomatic and grammatically correct translation, such as "Robur per intelligentiam." Here's a breakdown of the corrected phrase: "Robur" means "strength" or "power." "Per" means "through" or "by means of." "Intelligentia" means "understanding" or "intelligence." While "vis" does literally mean "strength", it implies a very physical and literal kind of strength like muscle strength. "Robur" is more abstract and in terms of meaning is somewhere between "strength" and "power". It's hard to explain, purely for lack of an equivalent word in English, but I feel really manages to hit the exact meaning you're going for. You’ll just have to trust me on this one.😅 Now, why did I replace “intellectu” with “intelligentia”? Similar difference as with “vis” and “robur”; implications and nuance. There’s a subtle difference and depending on the context they can be used interchangeably, but in this context “intelligentia” kinda just fits better. I don’t want to not bore you to death with the intricacies of Latin grammar, so I’ll keep it short: “intellectu” implies rationality, reason and the capacity to understand concepts and ideas (very practical intelligence), whereas “intelligentia” is related more to the ability to acquire knowledge, apply reason, and make sound judgments, which I feel fits perfectly with what you’re trying to convey. Put all that together, change “intelligentia” to “intelligentiam” for weird grammar stuff that I won’t get into, and you have your new and improved phrase: “Robur per intelligentiam”. Yay! Sorry, this was very long😬

Dana Netherton (he or him)

Thanks, Carrie. Unfortunately, it seems that Apple devices and Android/Windows devices still behave differently. - For Android/Windows, "Open the document" begs the question, "open it using what [which app]?" (for example: do you mean, open the Patreon app, then select this post (which has the PDF file attached to it)?) - "Upload icon at bottom of screen" - when using Patreon-for-Windows, I see a square icon with an arrow at the bottom of the post (but not when using Patreon-for-Android). When I click on it, it says "Share a preview of this locked post" and gives me these three options: - 1: Copy link - 2: Share with Twitter - 3: Share with Facebook Looks like that is talking about "sharing" (a preview of) the post itself, not the attached file. When I right-click the icon, I see more options, though none of them uses the word "upload". One option is "share." This, in turn, offers options such as "DropBox Lite," "OneNote for Windows," or various email apps. Nothing here about Kindle. Now, I do know how to "send to Kindle" a PDF file. I download the file to my computer's hard drive, then I send Kindle a link to the file. After a while, the document shows up in my Kindle Library. I tap on it, I can see the PDF document "in Kindle." However nothing about "pdf options" shows up during this process. And the typeface in Kindle looks just as skinny/faint in Kindle as it does in my PDF readers. That's as true in Kindle for PC as it is in Kindle for Android. Kindle for Android does have an "Aa menu" at the top-right corner. This menu lets me change the document's orientation-lock setting, lets me turn pages with volume controls, lets me adjust the screen brightness. Kindle for PC lets me set and find bookmarks, lets me look at the document's Table of Contents (if it has one). Nothing about layout in either version of Kindle. I'm very glad Kindle is helping you read the PDF files on your iPhone. I'm sure that will work well for other fans with iPhones. (I wonder whether the Afterlife will have different Paradises for devotees of Apple and non-Apple theologies? )

Samantha Pare

Same. I started it Monday night, and was up reading last night(this morning?)until 3am... I'm just about to start the 38th chapter and then I'm waiting around like everyone else 😂

MaraBellJade

Started going through and rewatching the series and taking screenshots of all the books. My amazon wish list is very spicy now.
