Continuing story, easy read
Great books ! Hard to put down. Great characters !
I loved these books
Gia resolves lots of conflicts, does a bit of introspection, a lot of denial, and comes out on top. She is trying to resolve her privileged perhaps Mafia-connected background with her need to contribute to society, while seeming to be just a girl who wants to have fun.
Awesome. I can’t wait until the next one comes out
I really enjoyed these books. Great main character, well written plots, I just kept reading and reading. Highly recommend.
keep you turning pages
Giada Valentine Santella, is an improbable character, but she is earnest, and pretty unstoppable. And she retains her sense of mission throughout.
Enjoyed reading these books. They were very entertaining and kept me guessing.
Gia sure gets into a lot of trouble, but has the heart of a warrior!
I absolutely loved this series and would recommend it!
Really enjoys all four books. Each one led to the other and keeps the reader wondering what’s next.
I was a brand new reader to the Gia series. I’m embarrassed to say I’d never heard of Kristi Belcamino. But I can honestly say I am truly hooked!! They characters just fly off the page! Find a nice comfortable place and let Ms. Belcamino take you away. Parts you want to slow down and just savor the moment and others you want to race to the end of the page to see what happened. She is a smooth easy writer that takes you away. hi is a character that goes thru so much and just keeps getting stronger!! If you haven’t tried any of Ms. Belcamino’s books your missing out! She is a MUST READ!! I maybe a NEW fan but I am a BIG FAN!!!
Amazing…….I was laughing, happy, touched, shocked, so sad. I was moved to tears in book 3. This author makes you feel you know the characters. Amazing writing. It is an emotional roller coaster ride
Enjoyed the plot, BUT—–I really despise the F-word and it is used way too much by the main character. Gia has a lot of issues, including sleeping around with almost anything in pants. I read the first four books in the series because it was interesting, but I would hope that as Gia’s life improves and she realizes she is reallyokay, that her morals improve as well as her vulgar mouth.
City of the Dead:
Really enjoyed this! Gia is one strong woman! Her story drew me in and I didn’t want to put it down! Her life has had so many ups and downs but she keeps soldiering on. I’m excited to see what happens next.
Forgotten Island:
Another great instalment in the series. Gia has grown a lot since book 1 and she’s really doing some good to help the community. She is a tough woman and I love reading her story.
Dark Night of the Soul:
This one is great! Each book in the series is better than the last and this one is an emotional rollercoaster! Loved it!
Lone Raven:
Another great Gia book! This one is a little shorter than the previous ones, but still is a great read. Gia tracks Dante down in Mexico, and unintentionally ends up in a murderer’s sights. She does what she can to protect her friend, and people she barely even knows.
It’s nice to read a series where the main character grows with each story, and each tragedy. Now to read the next one!
Gia is one of those I-want-her-to-be-in-my-family kind of characters! She’s real ~ smokes, drinks, lives her life, loves ~ she’s true to herself. Love her charracter growth over the course of the novels.
Lots of typos and grammatical errors. also several occasions of events being out of chronological order. Example: Bobby’s mother put her hand on his casket after the book said the casket was covered with dirt.
I love the Gia series. Suspenseful.unpredictable keeps you turning the pages
I really enjoyed reading the series of 4 books about Gia. I love all the twist adn how it kept me guessing. Gia is a great character and you can really connect with her. The tragedy that surrounds her but her determined will to keep going grips you.
Kristi’s books were recommended to me and I acquired several as I worked on my reading queue. I enjoyed this prequel so much I binged my way thru 6 of Gia Santella’s adventures. A kick ass female on her way to finding her true self and her place in the world. Great characters and story. Non-stop action and layers of intrigue will keep you reading long after you should have been asleep.
