Hijinks With a Hellhound by Louisa Masters
4.0
4 Stars
No one is more surprised than me that this series went from an average but entertaining read to something with actual depth. On the surface this may be a paranormal romcom but deep down within its many layers, is an impressive, subtly complex, magical creation theory, along with the evil baddies hell bent on destroying the foundational system the universe relies upon. Because of such a logical set up with an equally believable conflict, this 3rd installment gained the points it deserves.
Surrounding this serious core is still a healthy coating of silly ridiculousness that takes the edge off of the entire doom and gloom situation the cast is trying to defeat. Bring in alternate dimensions, the dire consequences of time travel, a couple species on the brink of extinction - all intermixed with no holds barred hellhound Alister finally realizing being open to a relationship has some major benefits and shifter leader Aidan who has room for some more fun in his life filled with important responsibility.
Overall, this consistently has VRC and THIRDS vibes, and I’m happy to say that this series just gets better with each book as we expand our exposure to the large cast. Though still light on epic romance, this delivers consistently with the smexy and humor, easily keeping one's interest in the various pairings and ongoing conflict!
