About this ebook

I adopted the scariest dog at the shelter. Turns out, my perfect guard dog is actually a 200-year-old hellhound with commitment issues.

Cody Hahn just wanted protection from his bullies. What he got was Killer—200 pounds of midnight-black menace that no one else dared adopt. Sure, Killer looks like he crawled straight out of a nightmare, but he's the best thing that's happened to Cody since his grandmother died.

There's just one tiny problem: Killer isn't actually a dog.

Zeff has been stuck in hellhound form at the pound for weeks, resigned to his fate, when a golden-haired angel walks in and claims him without hesitation. Now he's living his best life on a south Louisiana farm, dining on home-cooked meals and sleeping in his human's bed. The fact that he's completely, irrevocably bonded to said human? Just a minor complication he'll deal with later.

But when Cody's bullies escalate to attempted arson and an ancient demon lord threatens Haven, Zeff's secret comes out in the most dramatic way possible. Now Cody has to decide: run screaming from the supernatural world he never knew existed, or embrace the fact that his guard dog is actually a centuries-old warrior who would burn down the world to keep him safe.

A laugh-out-loud monster romance featuring:

Grumpy hellhound who's absolutely gone for his sunshine human

"He's beauty, he's grace, he brought me a rat to my face"

Found family shenanigans with a pack of reformed hellhounds

Small-town Louisiana charm meets supernatural chaos

The most dramatic coming-out story ever (literally shifting in the living room)

Chosen immortality and forever love

Size difference that'll make you swoon

Battle scenes, banter, and one very enthusiastic hellhound named Pyro who can't stop setting things on fire

This is Book 1 in the Hellhounds of Haven series. Each book features a different couple but is set in the same storyline with interconnected characters. HEA guaranteed.

Despite the heavy subject matter this ended up being a fun little romp. Lots of snarky banter between characters with some snort worthy lines at times. I loved the found family vibe and enjoyed the way everyone came together. I would have liked a bit more between the final chapter and epilogue and there were some continuity errors (all minor [author indicated these were corrected for paid release]). *I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.*
