Belcamino is happily married and resides in Minneapolis along with her loving husband and two beautiful daughters. Being an Italian mama, she is known to make tasty biscottis. Belcamino has created the character of Gabriella Giovanni based on her own life and profession of crime reporting. All her main characters are described as smart, dedicated, plucky, strong, and fierce.

Every page of her book is filled with deft detail and insider know-how, a technique she employed each of her future books and gained enormous success.

The Gia Santella series written by author Kristi Belcamino is comprised of a total of 7 novels and 1 novella released between 2017 and 2018. Each book of this series features the chief protagonist in the role of Gia Santella. She is described as a hard-drinking, fast-driving free spirit trained in karate. Gia tried to leave her past life behind and find a new life for herself in San Francisco. Gia hails from a small town called Monterey and flees to achieve her dreams in a big city following the death of her parents.

Belcamino has set the plots in San Francisco, Sicily, Baja, and Mexico. The debut book of this series is entitled ‘Gia in the City of the Dead’. It was released in 2017 in the Kindle format. The book opens by mentioning that Gia Santella ran away from her hometown Monterey after the sudden death of both her parents around 4 years ago. She moved to the big city with hopes of pursuing a high life for herself.

In order to overcome her grief, Gia took shelter in a luxurious apartment in a high-rise building with the Golden Gate Bridge view. As she inherited a huge amount of wealth from her parents’ death, she started using it for her amusements in an attempt to get past the emptiness in her life. She joined an art school and raced her Ferrari up & down the San Francisco coast, visiting the finest establishments of the city for getting hammered. Then suddenly, everything changed for Gia after she received a letter in her mailbox. The letter stated that her parents didn’t die in an accident, but were murdered by someone. As much as the letter shocks Gia, it makes her determined to find the killer and avenge her parents’ deaths. Shortly after, Gia realizes that the killer is watching her moves, making it clear that he wants to kill her too. Gia tries everything to stay a step ahead of the killer and at the same time, make him fall in her trap. This book is labeled as a perfect read for the fans of Patricia Cornwell, Gregg Hurwitz, and Lisa Gardner.

The second installment of this series is known as ‘Gia and the FOrgotten Island’. It was also published in 2017. It features Gia Santella and Sasha Kennedy in the main roles. This book continues to show Gia Santella as a fast-driving, karate-trained, and hard-drinking girl living in San Francisco. She is a young, sexy, gorgeous heiress. Gia has zero tolerance and fierce temper against people who have power and prey on vulnerable people. Also, Gia cannot take injustice taking place in the neighborhood. On one night in Autumn, a clash takes place in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco between a group of protestors and a hate-group that results in the breakout of violence. Gia arrives at the protest to find the granddaughter of her friend, Sasha Kennedy. Sasha is a student at UC Berkeley and holds the post of a student journalist. She intended to cover the protest and print it in her school newspaper. Gia is not able to find Sasha anywhere. The other people who saw Sasha at the protest tell Gia that she has mysteriously disappeared.

While investigating Sasha’s disappearance, Gia Santella learns that she was about to uncover a shocking story that has involvement from some powerful people. And as she continues to look for Sasha, she learns about several other mysterious disappearances in the past. Gia’s efforts let her unravel some dark secrets about the neighborhood that threaten to cause its destruction. Her plan to catch the culprit backfires and puts her in great danger. Shortly after, Gia gets a terrifying message and her course of action puts her in a deadly race against the clock to find and rescue Sasha Kennedy before she ends up dying. Gia knows that is her plan fails again, many other people will lose their lives. So, she cannot afford to make even the smallest of mistakes. Once again, the critics reviewed Belcamino’s book as a gritty and dark thriller with intriguing suspense.
