Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com

A novella that seems to fall somewhere between coming-of-age fantasy and horror. I won't lie, I'm not even sure that I understood what this book is about, but it's so well written that I don't care that I don't understand what it means. Coming to the climax of the story, I simply could not read fast enough; Malerman creates such a sense of immediacy that it would have been impossible to put the book down by the second half.

From Goodreads: This story I found to be quite boring. Mia does have a backbone, and she seems to know what she wants, but I don't know how she finds Kenyon so appealing. All I saw in him was a pompous d-bag. I mean, at least he never cheated on a woman, I guess. For a novella, there was barely in action in it. Romances like these seem to get lamer and lamer the more I read them. Huh, I wonder what that says about me.

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!

I tried to read Raphael and was instructed to read this book first, so like a good little Bookworm, I did. I understand reading this novella would help me understand the back story and help me sympathize with the Fallen - which I do, as crazy as that sounds, but how can one not after all the things these boys have been through? Though I kind of trudged through it, despite the heartache and anger at their torture, I'm looking forward to seeing what Raphael has in store.
