My life was a series of horrifying moments and sleepless nights that caused me to become a suspicious person. I learned to trust my gut and not be afraid to defend myself from the monsters that scratched at my door. But as time went on, the things Iโd seen and experienced shaped me into someone I considered to be broken, damaged, and beyond redemption.
I never expected the stranger staring down the barrel of my gun would be the one to save me. He saw through the armor I had encased myself in and silently vowed to set me free. He showed me that I was worthy of love and gave me everything I ever wanted but didnโt think I deserved.
When one of those monsters from my past comes calling, threatening to drag me back into the darkness, secrets are exposed and my world is ripped apart. Will he stand by my side as I embrace my nightmares, or will I be forced to walk away from the only person whoโs ever shown me love?
The Death Hounds say when youโre family, youโre family for life, but what happens when family ties threaten to strangle us all?

Goodreads Review – โHatchet is an emotional roller coaster with so many twists and turns you donโt see them coming. I loved every second of it.โ
H.J. Marshall began her love of reading and writing at an early age and has always dreamed of being a writer full-time. A nomadic youth exposed her to different perspectives of life, community, and culture, resulting in a lifelong love of food, music, and history. When she is not writing, she enjoys the music of all generations and genres, writing full-time, and living in her quiet cabin in the woods. Currently landlocked, H.J. dreams of her beach house, salty air, and a life filled with laughter.
MY REVIEW: โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ 5 out of 5
Intense, twisted, suspenseful, and heart-breaking. Loved it!
First, I have to say that I loved Foreword in this book with Devlin talking about how intertwined live can be. While it set up the story, it didnโt give anything away, but helped the suspense of the story for me, wondering how this was pertinent to the story.
Hatchet and Hailey have had some twisted and terrible times in their lives, and it seems as though itโs not getting any better, but a chance meeting and both have a future to look forward to and fight for. Hatchet is now a member of the Death Hounds MC, not just the little brother of the Presidentโs wife, or Skid, he has his patch, but he still questions if he earned it or if he has it because of who he is and what he endured. Devlin Callahan is a man that Hatchet has looked up for years and when he visits Hatchet and tells him that he did earn the patch he tries to believe him. However, itโs hard because he still regrets what happened when he and Rose were taken.
Hailey is on her own, but sheโs found someone who cares about her and what sheโs doing as well as where she is. Itโs taken Hailey years to feel as though sheโs worth the love and care she receives from Granny. Her childhood was a nightmare and now that sheโs an adult, that self-preservation has not left her, but keeps her aware of her surroundings. When her gut tells her that she needs to be careful and protect herself, she listens. When three men show up on her doorstep in a remote location, sheโs wary of who they are and what they want with her. When sheโs finally convinced to go with them and that she is safe her life will change drastically.
I love the characters of the Death Hounds MC books, and this book was no different. I loved the story and the characters just as much. Haileyโs life will change so much when she accepts the strangersโ help that showed up on her doorstep. Sheโll no longer be alone, and she will find someone that can help her heal from her childhood. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more from H. J. Marshall.
