Excerpt -
“Well if we do find one, we need to keep it earth bound,” I said, remembering my fight with Ira.
Chax looked at me questioningly.
“They heal super-fast in Hell. On earth, they barely heal, giving us the upper hand,” I explained.
“How do you know this?” Chax asked, his fork hovering in front of him and his eyes shooting daggers at me.
Trying to avoid it, I looked at Zurita and Caim and found them waiting for the explanation.
Crap.
“The night I killed Ira, he shifted me to his place in Hell. That’s where I discovered that he could heal faster there.” I waited for Chax's outburst.
He looked like he was going to kill something, and in that moment I was pretty sure it was me.
“He shifted you to hell?” Chax asked again.
Annnd, here it comes.
I nodded and braced myself for impact. There was a moment of deathly silence, like those moments just before a bomb goes off. You watch it slowly fall to earth and you know that it’s going to go boom. This is that moment.
“You will never leave my side again!” The bomb exploded, and then jumped up and stormed out.
I looked at Caim and Zurita, and found their large eyes focused on me.
“Yeah, I was waiting for that,” I mumbled, and then took another bite.
Crap, so much for Zen moments. Chax needs to lighten up.

“Will you do it already?!” Thonyn yelled from somewhere.
“Indeed.” I replied smiling.
I knew they were struggling with her. Focusing, I poured my feelings into her. It was still strange and foreign, all of these feelings around her, and I was not sure how she would receive them. I opened up to her; I wanted her to feel what I could not tell her. That I admired her. That I am proud of her, regardless of her flaws. That she was magnificent in my eyes. But most of all, and I feared for this, I wanted her to feel my love for her. The moment I had her in my arms and felt her mouth against mine, I knew that I loved this stubborn girl with everything inside me. For her I, would slay all evil, and would travel to hell to ensure her safety.
Review -
Holy Shit! Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
In this book, Kasadya, also known as Kas, is all over the place on the emotional front. Her whole life as she knew it has already began to rock in the last book, but unfortunately for her that was only the beginning. Who is ever really ready to hear that the fate of the world rest in their hands? OH SHIT, right?!?!? To add to the boiling pot of nerves Kas is about to meet her mate.
"Where is this charm? I looked beyond them, still nothing, Hell, is he late or something? Well there went his first impressions; he couldn't even be on time for my turning. Now, there was a way to impress a girl. Clearly we were off to a very bad start."
Even with the new added pressure, and the awkwardness of finding her charm, Kas must push through to destroy evil and save mankind. She will not be doing it alone though, she has the help of entire Exsilium, as well as, the humans on Earth.
"Why is everyone helping me after I messed up so badly?" I asked when we turned into the street. We will always stand together Kasadya; we all want to protect the world." He answered. I didn't have a reply handy, instead, I mulled over his words. True, we all have the same cause, but I am sure that not everyone had jumped at the occasion.
Her love life was finally taking toll too. Everyone around her seemed so in love. Would she ever have that with her charm?
" He walked over to me, and I prepared myself for a surprise move from him. What surprised me was his hand reaching for my face and cupping it. We looked at each other for a moment, and just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger, he leaned down and kissed me. His lips softly caressed mine, his scent enveloped me sending my own senses into a frenzy."
Back on the war stand-front, Kas realized that dreams she was having were more like visions. Finally, she realized in order to defeat evil she would have to study her dream and perfect her team. Will this be enough? Will the wall be breached and the devil himself let loose to wreak havoc over mankind? Most of all, who will be there for her mate if something were to happen to her?
Karen Swart just keeps blowing me away with each book. I can honestly say I cried like a damn baby. I couldn't get control, as much as Kas was having trouble controlling her emotions. Lucky for her she had her sexy mate!! Lucky Bitch!! Hellhound born is written from both Kasadya and Chax's point of view, mainly Kasadya's though. Just when you think this series cannot get any better Karen slaps you with more amazing action to take in!! Now I am just sad I have to wait for the next Kasadya book!! Must read!!!
"For as long as I have walked this earth, her touch was like a sun rising within me. There weren't long days anymore The days were too short with her, I begged them to never end."
