The Hellhound’s Legion ( A Kit Davenport Novella)
By Tate James
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Join Kit and her new husbands as they face the high courts of Hell to answer for River's dual nature as a Hellhound.
A quick check in with Kit and her men. I need so much more!
This opened up a whole new world then left me wanting Kit to have Hell and demon adventures.
I do miss them!

Acanthea Grimscythe (300 KP) rated Siphon in Books
Jan 31, 2019
Siphon is fairly short, coming in at only 112 pages. Often, a novella can be hit or miss and that’s because for some writers, pacing can be an issue. We see this in books where the first eighty percent drags on, only for the last twenty to fly by at breakneck speed. Medina doesn’t have this problem. Each scene takes just enough time to get the necessary point across–whether it be as simple as advancing Dr. Phillips’s affliction or as complex as establishing the depths of his madness.
Normally I want to connect with the characters in a story in some form or fashion. This allows me to become more emotionally involved than I might otherwise. However, in Siphon the perspective is third-person limited and Medina remains extremely faithful to this. We never know what other characters are thinking, nor do we get a taste for what they feel besides the physical descriptions of fear, as Dr. Phillips sees it.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. I received an arc of Siphon courtesy Hindered Souls Press, but in the move to a new Kindle, I lost it. That said, I obtained the copy I am reviewing through Kindle Unlimited. Because of this, I ended up with a final edit. In it, I noticed several errors which prevent me from giving this novella a perfect score. Nonetheless, if you enjoy grisly reads, I highly recommend it.
