Hellhounds Never Lie

Willow Lake Supernaturals, Book 1

By: Lori Ames

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

A mage without magic. A hellhound without a home.

Ash is technically a fire mage, but he can't do much. Turning his bedroom lights on and off without having to get out of bed isn't exactly awe inspiring, not when anyone with the right gadget could clap and do the same thing.

Worse, sometimes he senses something bigger and brighter lurking under his skin, and it feels so familiar he knows it has to be his magic, but then he burps or sneezes, and the feeling passes. So it's probably just allergies . . . or gas.

Yeah . . . Not exactly brimming with magical oomph. Not anymore. It sucks.

But things start to change when he finds Dillon, a hellhound, being chased through the woods by an angry wolf pack. He is instantly smitten and it's like something inside him unlocks. What's even crazier is Dillon seems to think Ash still has magic . . . and now Ash isn't sure what to believe.

What he does know is he'll do what needs to be done to protect his friends and the little supernatural town of Willow Lake from the dirtbag wolves in the hills. Even with his magic on the fritz he can help, right? And, with Dillon at his side, what could possibly go wrong?

Contains mature themes.

Great story

This is a great start for the series. I can’t wait to find out what happens in willow lake. All the danger and intrigue

Great new series for me

This is my first book by this author and I really liked it. Hellhounds are kind of awesome! I liked seeing Dillon help Ash rediscover his magic. The cast of characters is fun and so is the supernatural town. It is instalove because, you know fated mates.

This is a great start to the series and I can't wait to learn more about everyone.

I listened to the audio because I love Kirt Graves and he did not disappoint!

New to me Author!

I really enjoyed this story! Although we don’t get a lot of background on the magic system for this world, there is more than enough to not feel lost. I liked both Dillon and Ash as well as the Willow Lake citizens. There is some plot outside the relationship that was exciting even if parts were a bit gruesome. I look forward to more in the series!
