Tears ran down my face as I read the ending of this story. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

It's clear from the start that the new 'normal' cannot stay that way indefinitely, but the alternative means losing loved ones all over again. A reality that Draven, Micah, and Lyle really do not want to face.

The story was action-packed, emotional, and a perfect way to tie up the series.

The final chapter!

The final chapter in the hellhound adventures is here! As always, I absolutely love Richard Amos’s ability to world build and character build. This takes up a fair portion of the first part of the book, but bear with it - it’s worth it! I loved the growing relationship between Draven, Micah and Lyle in this one - but also the relationships they all have with those they’ve lost - this really got me quite emotional at times - it was really well thought out. A really enjoyable read overall.

Hellbound was bittersweet but really good ending to the series. I really enjoyed getting to know Draven, Lyle, Micah, and the others like Simon in reading this series.

 Hellbound is the fourth and final book in Richard Amos’s Hellbound Shifters series. Draven and his brothers are back for one final showdown with Dolos. Thanks to his taking control everything has changed. Dolos may be stuck where he’s at, but what does it really mean? Well, the one thing that it doesn’t mean is that he’s powerless, because he’s not. While there have been some benefits to his claiming the power, the consequences of the imbalance that he is creating are far worse. 
Draven and everyone connected to him have a rough road ahead of them. Some are more than willing to accept the new status quo, but not everyone is onboard with the new regime. 
The author takes you on a ride with these characters as they have to fight to restore what is right. You get little recaps to fill you in where the author thinks you need a little reminder. There are steamy scenes to tantalize, and then there are scenes that really bring the drama. 
The pacing is okay, but there are quite a few slow spots throughout. It made pushing forward a bit difficult, but more often than not it was worth it. Since this is the final book, you get a nice HEA to satisfy. I’m rating this book 4 out of 5 stars.
