How to Catch a Hellhound (Hellhounds of Paradise Falls Book 6) by Shannon Mae


The series finale for the Hellhounds of Paradise Falls and a long anticipated couple. Jude and his sheriff finally get their crap together in HOW TO CATCH A HELLHOUND.


From the blurb:

Paul
I’m not exactly sure how I became sheriff of Paradise Falls, but I take the protection of the people in my town seriously. That even includes Jude, who’s constantly pulling pranks in the hopes of getting arrested. I know he’s flirting with me, but how can someone as damaged as me be a match for his eternal good cheer? Never mind the fact that I may also be losing my mind—I’m getting crazy feelings about people, and the urge to act on them is getting stronger. My goal has always been to save people, not to harm them. Something is changing, though, and I’m not sure who I am anymore.

Jude
Being an assassin and a hellhound is all-around fun, and teasing my sexy sheriff makes my life complete. Lately, though, something’s been wrong with Paul. He’s been cranky and secretive, and I’m determined to get to the bottom of it. Is something from Paul’s past haunting him? Because if someone needs killing, then I’ll be happy to do it. Although maybe it’s time to show the sheriff what he’s really capable of. He’s a kindred spirit—I can sense it—and I’m only too happy to show him how hellhounds take care of the bad guys.

Tags: Sheriff Paul can sense things; Jude is, as always, ridiculous; there are numerous Beatle references, so get ready to have songs stuck in your head; Jude is the happiest assassin you’ll ever meet; these two have explosive chemistry; Paul might kill Jude (or at least shoot him); the entire pack is there for all the fun; Paul isn’t exactly what he appears; Oracles give the vaguest advice; trying to get arrested is Jude’s love language.


SNik's review:

Sixth and finale in series (Hellhounds of Paradise Falls), best if read in order. Paranormal. Mates. Grumpy/sunshine. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

Beatle lyrics and getting arrested is Jude’s love language, and he hopes to woo his mate, the local sheriff. But Paul doesn’t know anything about the supernatural world, until he starts wanting his own vigilante justice and finds out hellhounds exist and he’s falling for one. 

I was looking forward to this couple and this story did not disappoint. Jude is as irreverent as ever and the long flirting courtship (during previous books and this one) was funny and sweet if a little unhinged. Paul is an upstanding protector and once he realizes everything Jude has told him about killing and the supernatural is true he takes a moment but never wavers from trusting Jude. I enjoyed every moment they were on page together. This was an entertaining read, and I’m sad to see this series end as I really loved every couple’s romance story. 


Molly Otto's review:

Jude and his Sherriff get past the anarchy that is their courtship to the chaos that is their relationship. I mean really I would hope no one would think these two would be nothing but chaos together. Jude is just a choas gremlin personified yet Paul has a way of taming him and adoring him as he is. And him finding the truth of the Smith family is so Paul that I laughed so hard in the utter perfection of the moment.

After the events of the previous book you know their time is coming and sheriff Paul is hiding his own secrets and oh boy is it a good one! Loved how Paul fits with this beautiful found family and how is knowledge helps the family reach their ultimate missions. Overall a great addition to the series and hope to see more of these hellhounds in the future.
