I'm not sure what I expected when I started this book, but it sure wasn't a lot of laughs which is what I got. The book starts off with a very down in the dumps Hell Hound, Carnage aka Car, wallowing in something like self pity. At least he was until Lucifer, aka Luc, shows up with an assignment and a piece of red leather for tracking the quarry.
Leta is an anomaly, she is the daughter of a demon and an angel, a dangerous combination. She is always the hunted and the hunter. She's enjoying a double chocolate fudge brownie sundae when she senses Car's approach. She is not pleased.
She realizes the futility of trying to escape the Hell Hound but was surprised when he took her to his home and not directly to Lucifer.
Ah, a mating dance, and frankly I laughed way too hard, even when Luc discovers Car didn't bring Leta right to him.
Truly a fun and different read with plenty of heat and innuendo.
I don't know when the next book will be out but I really want to read it when it does.

This is a funny little book as in you want it longer yet it’s perfect as is. Fast, yet you can follow. Enough of the world around the main charters to get your teeth into. And yes I will be keeping my eye on this series and author. First time reading her and I like what I’ve read.

Got a few chapters in and thought why am I wasting my time. The NAMEs were totally put-off-able ffs. The 'action' not much better.

Who knew demons had a sense of humour…
He** hounds and angels/demons. Pretty serious stuff I would have thought. So I was surprised, happily so, by how much I laughed through this unexpectedly lighter take on the dark side. It wasn’t hearts and flowers but given we are dealing with the devil and he** hounds, I was delightfully taken aback by the humour found in this story.
Carnage was facing a huge decision he had been mulling over for years. Return to life as a full human once again or keep leading the hounds in the devil’s work. On his last mission he didn’t expect to run into his match, the one person who could derail his redemption… Leta was as strong and smart as any he** hound and was up for the challenge. Dealing with the devil’s agent was not a problem, until her heart was in need of protection.
I loved this refreshing take on an old tale. Take everything I thought I knew about the devil and evil and turn it on its ear. Make the players sarcastic and funny, compassionate and totally relatable and I was hooked completely. From the banter and friendship between the hell hounds to the snarky, sexy courtship of Leta and Carnage, this story was an uplifting, devilish read. I think this author could sell fridges in an ice storm if she can make he** sound not so bad….

Born of a pairing with a demon and angel, Leta Fury is a creature that should not exist and needs to be destroyed. What is the Devil to do when he finds out about her and her vigilante ways? Send one of his bounty hunters after her. Carnage is so close to the time when he can renew his contract with the Devil or retire and be reborn with a clean slate. Yet when the Devil gives an order to bring in an Leta to see if she can be useful to him, Carnage accepts. What he didn’t expect was to find his mate in this fiery female. Now he needs to figure out how to keep her safe from Heaven’s Enforcers as well as make sure she makes it through her meeting with the Devil. But, like always, even the best laid plans can be ruined.
Carnage ROCKED! Leta is totally a bad ass heroine that fits perfectly with Carnage’s deadly dominant personality. The interactions between the characters are hot as well from the beginning. But more than that, there are some twists in the story that the reader doesn’t expect. Definitely a great story and I am so totally hoping that the next installment come out soon! Highly recommend.

I loved this book!
I really was kind of skeptical with the plot being the underworld and angels and all of that. Normally isn’t my cuppa. I was however pleasantly surprised by how much I liked everything about this book. It brought a very down to earth comedic aspect to the genre that was absolutely astounding!
Leta and Carnage were the insta love couple that kept you wanting more. Both have a life that has little substance other than survival. That is until they meet each other. They also both sacrifice everything just to be with each other, even though the odds are stacked against them. Hilarious and smokin hot I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
The characters were so good that the devil himself was someone I am hoping I get a book about. It really just brought a much more approachable light to the whole death and heaven and hell thing. I really can’t say enough good things about it without giving plot details. Definitely a must read!
HEA, duel POV, triggers I guess would be if you are religious.

Sassy and deadly a great combination right? Meet Leta she's a mix of both and with a price on her head she's determined do take a few down before they take her down.
Car has been on edge lately no real reason why just touchy and mean, lets clarify that with touchy, mean more so than his norm. Well his service to the devil is almost up and he has the chance to start over who wouldn't be edgy?
The Devil has one more job for the leader of the MC and as always Luc as a bit of a twist in this job. that he didn't happen to mention to Car.
Sparks fly alright in this short and hot little read that Susan has penned for us, a start of wonderful series with very cool characters. As always a bit of fate in the story to make our lives and the story interesting. I can wait to see what comes next in the series. Great read! Enjoy

She is his mission & he is her salvation - Carnage is a Hell Hound sent to retrieve a person of interest. Leta is the offspring between an angel and one of the fallen, she should not have existed. When the two meet it sets off a chain of events which neither of them expected.
I truly enjoyed this short novel, the chemistry between Leta & Carnage is hot and the dialogue funny and sarcastic. I have always enjoyed this Authors works and this is not an exception, I am keen to know which of the Hell Hounds is next to reap from the Devils cunning plan.

Heaven/Hell where will you end up? In this new series by the author some people end up in between. Purgatory, home of Lucifer's hell hounds. Hell hounds are Lucifer's punishers and retrievers. Carnage is the leader of this band of hounds. Car is sent to retrieve a human for Lucifer. The woman is the product of an angel and demon, or so it was told. But as soon as Car finds the woman and touches her, all bets for him giving her to Lucifer are off. And now the fun begins.

I received a copy in return for an honest review. Susan has given us another great read. What happens when Lucifer plays cupid, a love story straight from hell. A hell hound bored after hundreds of years in service, his last mission and a woman running for her life and you get one hell of a read (every pun intended on this one). I can't for more in this series.

Crazy. No cheating but just a HUGE step into fantasy land where the end has the couple working for the devil. Yup
