He’s a mercenary. A pain master. An unmated Gryphon. She’s a handler. A recluse. An unmated wolf.

Kyllian “Kayos” Lazlo is content being the last unmated brother. As a Master of pain at Dominion, the local kink club, he has his subs to turn to when he wants to scratch an itch. Along with other Hounds, he takes out the trash as a mercenary, so when his father requests he takes on a job as a bodyguard, Kayos isn’t happy. He isn’t a babysitter. But the client is none other than the Hounds’ handler and daughter of his father’s best friend. Kayos can’t say no.

Quinn Shepherd has lived the last eighteen years in solitude with only her father as a companion. She has secrets not even her dad is aware of. When rogue bikers come to town sniffing around, Trenton calls on the Hounds to watch over Quinn. Her secrets are brought to light, and Quinn’s world is turned upside down. She has to trust her inked, broody Gryphon bodyguard to put it to rights. But given her past, trust doesn’t come easy for Quinn.

Fated mates are a reality for wolves, but Quinn doesn’t agree with her Wolf when it demands they bare their neck to the alpha Gryphon guarding them. Kyllian trusts his beast, and it’s convinced Quinn is theirs. If only Kyllian can get past Quinn’s walls and prove she can trust him.

Book 6 in the Hounds of Zeus MC is filled with action, bikers, Gryphons, wolves, a little pain, a lot of tears, and a whole bunch of healing.

Master of Kayos is written to be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read the series in order. The Hounds of Zeus MC is a spin-off/crossover of The Stone Society Series and might contain spoilers.

About the author

Faith Gibson

51 books576 followers
Faith Gibson's love of books started early on. So much so that she decided to write her own stories. When a college professor told her she had a gift, she took him at his word and put pen to paper (because back then, there were no computers. Shh, we don't mention her age.)

Her love of all things paranormal mixed with crazy dreams led to her first series, The Stone Society, about Gargoyle shifters in search of their mates while protecting humanity from unhinged beasts known as The Unholy. The Hounds of Zeus MC series was born from one of their own being a mate of a Gargoyle. The Rebel Moon Shifters are the next generation, all the kids from the first two series.

Faith also abbles in MM worlds and contemporary suspense, but her first and forever love is fantasy.

When Faith isn’t hard at work on her next story, she can be found reading, cooking, playing in the dirt (planting stuff) or playing with her staffy pup, all while listening to hard rock music.

Kyllian's dad sent him on a job to protect their handler.
Little did anyone know that his handler was more than than his handler. And said handler had a very big secret.
This is a fast pace book. I loved every second of it.
Love the way this family has so much heart and soul. They bring any and everyone that's willing to try into the family dynamic.

All the stars!

What kinds of shifters are out there? Faith Gibson has previously given us the Stone Society with gargoyles. Then with the Hounds of Zeus we were introduced to a new kind of shifter (no spoilers here!). And this book in that series gives us something new. You'll want to check it out!

One of the best things about this world Gibson has created is seeing correlations between groups who make the news today, and groups in this future setting that make you think.

But of course the best thing about this series is the suspense combined with a love story that ends in happiness. There's nothing better in today's reality, than to escape to this series world and live there for awhile!

Master of Kayos( The Hounds of Zeus MC Book 6) by Faith Gibson. Kyllian has been assigned to guard and watch over Quinn who is their handler. Some people are sniffing around her. She has a secret she wasn't ready to reveal but circumstances dictate otherwise. Kyllian aka Kayos is not happy about this assignment. He is a mercenary not a babysitter. What he finds in Quinn he could have never imagined. Once again another enjoyable story told by this author.  She can write a series story like no other. I am never disappointed.  I always love the characters. The story draws me in and I want to know more. I love the mentioning of the other characters and their stories.  Knowing what they are up to and incorporating the other series I also love is always a teaser for me. I couldn't get enough of this story and had a smile on my face. We are taken on a journey of learning more about Quinn and her secret while seeing Kayos find something he didn't know he was missing. I can't wait for the next book because I know not only will I get another good story but I will also get an update on Kayos and his new found family. This author has did it again. Another 5 star read for me. I am always fully satisfied when I finished one of this author's books. I am a fan for life.

Faith Gibson pens her latest release, I was more than excited to pick it up. Well written and well-plotted with amazing characters. My fav being Nikita, in hopes the author could do a time bump and give the sassy girl her own book.

What starts out seeming to be a glorified babysitting job, had K in a mood. Q is a recluse that handles dipping into some really dark minds as a handler.

There is a lot going on but it's easy to follow. Two packs and a rare bloodline have more than one person acting on emotions. Emotions with *Dire* circumstances. It will be hard to find a common ground with so much betrayal and anger flinting about.

The past is so tied to the future, in some ways good and some not so much. Long lost to meet up? I loved how the family dynamics were told, and how the author brought in some prior characters.

This story has wonderful characters and story, several emotions. anger, mistrust love... a time to start live and grow.

A great standalone, shifter story with a little bit of everything. Grab it up and enjoy

Took me on a thrilling emotional ride

Kayos, a Hounds of Zeus MC elite member, is sent to guard Quinn, the broker for the assassination firm the Hound contract with, at the request of Quinn’s father who also happens to be Kayos’ father’s best friend. As the story progresses their initial meeting could have gone better, a secret long held is pried free, and things start to go wrong when they think they are safe. Master of Kayos by Faith Gibson took me on a thrilling emotional ride. These characters keep drawing me further into their world and lives. With the Hounds that have found their mates, I hope that Faith Gibson has plans to keep expanding this series and her Stone Society series.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Kayos-Love him!
And Faith Gibson’s book 6 in her Hounds of Zeus MC!

Kyllian Lazlo is unexpectedly sent to support (his term-babysit) Quinn, who is more than he can ever imagine. Being taken away from his career as Master of Pain in the local kink club, he knows what he needs, as well as his family’s mercenary work.

Kayos finds himself feeling things ge NEVER expected as Quinn wolf’s fated mate. And ge and Quinn struggle to understand how they will make this relationship work.

As a gryphon, Kayos becomes protective and must earn Quinn’s trust. Not an easy thing, as there are more secrets unearthed.

Gibson continues to allow us the pleasure/pain of pairing the Hounds up, through her emotional and wonderful writing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An action family

Kayos grows as a person and a shifter with the love of a good woman. A little Trouble adds to a happy family.
The author takes a whole pack of people, generations, and intertwines their stories as in real life. This family tree is complex and protective. I've never seen an author pull families together as Faith does in any series she writes.
This is a fantastic read for anyone who adores hot shifters, action and families.

handler gets handled

Great follow up for the Lazlo clan. Their handler has history they never knew but when she needs help they go to help. Little did they know she was destined to be lazlo mate. She has to let go of her past and face things she hoped would never be an issue. During her challenge she realizes she has a mate and her lost daughter wants her in her life. Face pace read and lots of twists.

Family is Who You Love

I love the Hounds and I love how Faith makes everything about family and commitment to family. Kyllian is a great character with strength and compassion that makes his biker persona seem not quite so tough. But instead he comes across as loving, patient kind, a true gentleman. Great story, great cast of characters, great portray of family dynamics and lots of love for family. Exactly what this world needs.

Kayos!!!!

I love this book. This story had the perfect amount of angst, mayhem, love and HEA! I immediately connected with the characters in this story. Since following the from the very beginning I've become invested in the Hounds. I have loved all the stories. But this one here just knocked it out of the park.
Thank you Ms. Faith. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Fan for life!!

Kayos has layers

Kayos has always been hard cause of his job but when he protects others it can help with different aspects but with this unique job his dad gave him specifically, it really brings out and gives him the added facets of himself that most people don't c not even family. When things happen he finally will understand things about himself he never knew b4. It is a very awesome book 2 read cause of what waits 4 Kayos. Whether its good or bad or a mixture of the 2 u don't want 2 miss anything. Its 2 good 2 put down.

This is one of the best books I've read lately

Loved the action, the characters and the story line. This entire series is very interesting, each one different but including the rest of the characters already covered in the previous books. I have read them one after another and am looking forward to book 7...

well worth the wait

I love the family dynamics in this series. Very different of course with being shifters but the protective instincts of each and everyone. Crazy ride for Kayos finding his mate in the one person behind the calls for work, getting a daughter in the process and becoming a family. Jealousy never prevails. HEA for everyone. Love the Voodoo thing too.

Another great book

Many times an author will tend to drift as the series progresses. That is not the case with Faith Gibson. Each book in both this series and The Stone Society series is on point with well developed characters and a great plot. I LOVE this author’s work. Also, if you get a chance to read Strands of Gold by this author you will not be disappointed.

Master of Kayos

I don't know why it took me so long to read this book. Faith Gibson always delivers and there is never a dull moment. Each book, page and story is something to look forward to. I loved how badass Kayos's mate was and I think my favorite character was their daughter.

Not enough steam

This was the story that I had been waiting for. The author describes Kayos as a Dominant, but provides virtually no steamy bdsm scenes. Why bother having 3 characters into this lifestyle if you don't want to describe the action. Also, the neat wrapup at the end bugs me a bit.

Spicy scenes were disappointing- read on KU

I hoped to get some hot spicy scenes considering Kyllian's preferences, but they were more the same as the previous books. At least the story was a bit different in that they weren't dealing with the Ministry. Some of the motivations of the bad guys (multiple sets of bad guys) were a bit of a stretch.

Wow, another great addition to the Gryphon series. Didn't think it could get any better, but I was wrong. Kyllian's story is one of the best so far, Quinn's character is a great match. love the surprise addition as well. Great new twists and turns to the storyline overall. Can't wait for the newest chapter.
