This was an endearing story between two awkward neighbors who were secretly obsessed with each other. Dexter was a hellhound who spent his time balanced between ridding the world of rotten souls and gathering torture ideas for Toby's next book, while Toby ogled his hot neighbor from his living room. Toby was such an awkward but charming mess, and I loved how Dexter embraced his eccentricities. Dexter definitely struggled trying to perfect his "human" persona, but the way these two were obsessed with each other overcame any obstacles in their path. I loved getting to meet Dexter's brothers, and I'm excited for their storiesđź–¤

How to Flirt with a Hellhound is the perfect book for anyone looking to get into the Halloween spirit. One might hesitate to call this book “cozy” considering one of the MCs is a hellhound serial killer who enjoys torturing people who have rotten souls, but I’m not one of those people. This book was definitely a cozy read for me, hahaha. This was SUCH a fun (and funny) book, with lots of cute and sweet moments (in that possessive, stalkers way), but also filled with excitement! I couldn’t put this down, and there wasn’t a single moment that felt like it dragged. I’m already loving all the side characters, so I’m excited to see where the other books in this series go!

Quick light read with a bit of mystery thrown in for fun. One thing that was hard for me was the use of the word "totally" - I searched it and in the 209 pages registered by my Kindle, the word was used 90 times. Which felt even more frequent because it was used mostly by Toby and his POV. There isn't a lot of detail about supernaturals, but the banter was fun and it was an easy read so I'll probably continue the series at least to the next book.
