I am newer to Kristi’s writing and coming into Gia’s story several books in, but I absolutely love her character. She is down to earth, focused, strong-willed, determined to fight for what is right and those she loves, and willing to stick her neck out for the little guy. She also has a genuine relatable quality about her and I enjoy seeing the emotional depth that Kristi adds to Gia’s character to help keep her grounded.
With the continued series with one main character as a focus point, Gia’s life is ever-changing as she faces new obstacles and life events thrown her way to help her grow and move forward in her life. With Rosalie now added to her family, Gia’s day to day life becomes a struggle for balance as she tries to settle into a normal routine with the child while dealing with a rocky relationship with James and a new job that is requiring all her focus and almost all her time. The situation becomes even more urgent when her friends’ lives are threatened and she is the only one standing between them and harm’s way. With all that she is trying to juggle between her professional and personal life, she is overextending herself and something has to give. Unfortunately, amidst the chaos of life and death and fighting for the city, she takes a personal hit with devastating consequences.
Night Fall is a gripping, crime thriller that will grab your attention from the beginning and once you start reading you will not want to quit until the end. It is fast-paced, loaded with suspense and Gia’s special kind of kick ass on the side. The story is told in multiple points of view which helps give you a better understanding of the overall story and all the characters involved along with their specific emotional state and actions taken as a result. It is a well-written, engaging read and I am looking forward to seeing what Kristi has in store for Gia’s next adventure.

Night Fall – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Kirsty Belcamino’s vigilante heiress, Gia Santella, is a woman on a mission, as her seventh outing in the Gia Santella Crime Thrillers series soon shows.
Affairs of the heart are causing Gia and her crippled live-in boyfriend James to be increasingly at odds, as life and and love collide head on, despite Gia’s main vendetta target being James’s Nemesis – as well as her own.
Cybercrime on a vast scale, including, (but not limited to) hitmen for hire, people-trafficking and other nefarious deeds, is enabled by the eponymous NightFall site, on the so-called Dark Web, with the complicity of those self-seekers with power-lust and the money to satisfy their darkest desires
The website and its controller bring a tangled and dangerous reality to Gia’s world, where events seem bent on shattering not only her life, but those of friends and loved ones too.
Book 7, Night Fall, by the wonderful Kristi Belcamino, promises a rip-roaring, all-action adventure like nothing you’ll read elsewhere, with the riveting characters, amazing yet believably possible storyline and a human, flawed yet still exciting MC in Gia Santella – who’s a female version of James Bond with a twist of Modesty Blaise and Lara Croft thrown into the mix.
Get your copy today and hang onto the grab-handle of (your metaphorical version of) Gia’s powerful motorcycle, as you tear off in search of more bad guys whose butts you can kick – what a woman!
It didn’t even take a minute for me to fall for this one
Gia, local vigilante, gets sucked into another hair raising case. As the story progresses things become complicated, a chance to settle old scores arises, and all of her personal relationships change. I absolutely love Gia and her sense of justice, the scrapes and near misses keep the stories engaging. It didn’t even take a minute for me to fall for this one with all of the growth from the supporting characters. I can’t wait to see what Kristi Belcamino has in store for Gia’s next adventure.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
Crime thriller at it’s best! Twists and turns that keep you turning the pages! Being a crime reporter, Kristi gets it right and her experience shows in the gritty details. Plus the characters are so well written you feel like you know them.
I think this book could be a great standalone, but you would be doing yourself a disservice! I have read the whole series and have enjoyed watching the Evolution of Gia!
From a somewhat broken, self indulgent young lady to a fierce, loyal woman who keeps adding people to her inner circle. Those people she defends fiercely and takes care of them before herself.
I can’t wait to see what is next for Gia!
Great characters. Can’t wait for the next book to see what happens!
Gia is back, and stronger than ever! As James continues to be obsessed with proving the chief corrupt, Gia is working with a team of hackers to take down killers communicating through the dark web. Gia continues to grow emotionally, and attempts to adapt to her ever changing personal life. Night Fall is action packed and unpredictable. This may be the best book in the series yet! It’s full of so many twists and turns that it makes it difficult not to read it in one sitting.
Night Fall is a fast paced read. Gia Santella has a very short amount of time to contact and protect the last few computer hackers (who are trying to expose a dark web criminal) from a viscious killer. Though they are unaware of all the connections, there are ties to the crooked SF chief of police whom Gia and her boyfriend James are trying to take down. We get glimpses into the minds of the supposedly smart criminals and realize they aren’t so smart after all!
One of my favorite lines, as Gia enters Darlings salon, all battered and bruised but still standing, “It’s just Gia.” This lady can take a beating and still keep ticking!
Another thriller in the Gia Santella series. Once you start reading, you do not want to quit until you finish the novel. Kristi Belcamino gets your interest from the beginning. Night Fall is a dark market web site that sells almost illegal product. The chief of police in involved with this organization and covers up their crimes. When a group of hackers join to expose this organization, people start to die.
Great book from the beginning we find gia fighting for those she feels have been wronged. Loved her continuing relationship with Rosalie and the ups and downs with James. Great Book from start to finish
I read this book in one day! I could not put it down! A Fast paced thriller with twists and turns and the amazing Gia. If you like strong, kick-ass women you will love Gia! Belcamino never disappoints. I have loved and devoured every single book that she has out. I received this book as an ARC reader but the review is mine
Another entry in the series that continues to get better with every book. Gia is definitely a badass when it is called for, which is one of the reasons we love her, but her personal side is just as important. Her character has developed and grown wonderfully over the years. Kristi has taken the thriller to a higher level with the last two books in this series. The supporting characters are fleshed out nicely and it feels like it’s an extended family. Enough action to satisfy everyone but these books are character driven. I feel as if I know everyone in the book. Too many times I have read books and not remembered the characters or even the title ten minutes later. That will never happen with one of Kristi’s books. I suggest strongly that you read the books in order ifyou are new to the series. Thank you, Kristi, for another excellent read. Highly recommended.
Don’t be afraid of the dark… But be very, very afraid of Night Fall! This is another amazing adventure with Gia! Seems the police chief needs to be put in his place (i.e., prison). How to do it, though, with the whole police force and maybe some feds protecting him, takes Gia and her friends going the tech/hacking route to bring justice to the city. Lives are lost; justice must prevail. This story has all the elements of a tense read: murder for hire, corrupt cops, a dark web site wherein you can buy anything. Don’t put this one down; something might happen while you’re snacking or sleeping that you won’t see coming. I was worried about Danny, for sure! Great story, Kristi!
Wow!!! Gina’s back and better than ever! If you like a badass, full of heart heroine-this is your series! I love loved it!
First thing’s first: I received an ARC copy of this book and am providing my unsolicited, unbiased review. Second, there are NEVER any spoilers in my reviews, so GO: Gia remains an amazing force to be reckoned with! Never disappointing, always thrilling, just the right amount of intrigue and full of passion as we view her (you can feel yourself interacting with) personal vs professional struggles! It is a beautiful thing to watch this character evolve and discover herself in each of the Gia Santella stories, as this badass femme fatale actually softens as she embraces her past and future. You can read this as a standalone, or read in order, but either way, you’ll want to read them all. Do yourself a favor, get it now!
Gia is one of my favorite characters and this book showed me a whole new side of her. One side battling hackers, protecting the victims, and bringing down the corrupt. But on the other side, dealing with a more personal battle with those she loves. I saw the vulnerability and need for stability and love on a different level than Gia has revealed before. The ending left me yearning for the next book to see how Gia moves forward.
I love this series and this author! Love Gia! This book is intense,powereful, moving, interesting, complex, inspiring and just plain badass! Every page kept me riveted and I could not put the book down! Lots of twists and turns and intrigue throughout the book. Interesting and complex characters. Gia is going through a lot of changes and is able to handle things much better than she used to . This is a real winner of a story! I am so happy that I found this author! Cannot wait for the next story of Gia!
I was lucky enough to have gotten a ARC copy of this book from the author. I am volunteering to leave this review. Great book plenty of twist and turns that will have you reading until the last page.
