REVIEW
When the Devil Isn't the Villain—He's the One Who Claims You
Some love stories begin with a meet-cute.
Others begin with a threat.
If you're the kind of MM romance reader who craves dominance wrapped in destiny, danger braided with devotion, and a love that refuses to loosen its grip… Hellhounds of Purgatory by JB Warrick belongs on your radar this week.
Tristan Ward thought he'd buried the past along with his father. He rebuilt his life. Opened a bar. Moved forward.
Then the men responsible for his father's death walk back into his world.
Suddenly, survival isn't about healing. It's about power.
And the only man powerful enough to stand against that threat is Ammon Strong.
Intimidating. Infuriating. Unyielding.
Not a man at all—but a hellhound who has walked the earth for millennia.
Here's where the story shifts from revenge tale to something deeper.
Because Ammon doesn't just want to protect Tristan.
He wants to claim him.
The psychological core of this MM Romance isn't simply dominance. It's inevitability. The pull of something ancient recognizing what it was never meant to have.
Hellhounds aren't supposed to have mates.
But Ammon has found his.
And that changes everything.
For readers who love:
- MM Romance with a twist
- Possessive supernatural heroes
- Feisty humans who push back
- Reluctant attraction that burns into surrender
- Power dynamics with emotional stakes
This story delivers tension on multiple levels. External danger from men who think Tristan is still vulnerable. Internal resistance as Tristan refuses to yield to a being who sees him as destiny.
The magic here isn't just paranormal.
It's the collision between control and choice.
Ammon has never met anyone like Tristan. Tristan has never met anyone who refuses to let him walk away.
The result is an MM romance built on heat, confrontation, and a bond that defies the rules of its own mythology.
If you're drawn to stories where the supernatural alpha isn't softened—but transformed by finding the one person who matters—this is your next read.
