In this second outing in the Hellhound Chronicles, Hellhound Ave is now a rogue soulcatcher after killing her reaper, and she is now on the run with Leo, the grim reaper himself. But the other reapers aren't necessarily ready to rally behind this new leader. And Ave has problems of her own. The ultimate in demonic serial killer has emerged from her past, and it's the last, possible thing Ava ever hoped to encounter. Unfortunately this killer doesn't just kill, he creates. And his creations are spreading across the heartland. Ava may be the only one who can stop him, if she can face her past. Angels, demons, reapers and zompires -- what more could a paranormal fan ask?

I loved the dark humor and gritty attitude of Ava. She's a terrific, complex character, and having a chance to learn more about her past was terrific. Plus, the walking man and the mythology behind him was fascinating. Nothing is simple in this dark, compelling series, and I've enjoyed both books so far. Whatever comes next, I'm a fan.

Reviewer Janis Fields is the author of over two dozen books for children and adults including Threads of Deceit, Ghost Light Burning, Wellspring of Magic, and Emerald Dragon.
