Holy hellhounds! This book was dark and dangerous. It had moments that stole my breath and made me turn the pages as fast as possible. And then it had some of the scorchingest scenes I’ve read in ages. Good grief, Ms. Gray knows how to bring a naive witch and a fighting-to-hold-back hellhound together.





I absolutely loved Tempest. She was awkward and cute and completely irresistible to Fender. I adored her naivete. While she might have been inexperienced with a hellhound, she was wise when it came to her talents and magic, and I was captivated by her history and that of the Matildas.





Then there’s Fender. How does someone even come up with the idea of such a character? He’s everything I could love in a normal hero, much less a paranormal hero. Add in the fact that he’s lost part of his leg and how that plays into his storyline, and I’m totally in love with him. And that’s not even saying anything about the hot and heavy moments he spends with Tempest.





This was as enjoyable a read as I could ever want. The world-building is A+, and even if you jump into this series at this point without reading the previous books, you’re going to love it without feeling lost. I apologize for being greedy, but I am in desperate need of the next book!


Dual POV
Safe no om drama; a touch of ow: ow came onto H - they had hooked up one time, when H learned that h overheard it he explained about it and reassured her that he did not want ow - there was very little drama from it
Triggers body shaming
Steam 10 out of 5!!! This is the STEAMIEST! Explicit

✅ 1 Bad Demon (2024) - 4.5 ⭐
𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗬𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗧 𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 - The Hellhound and his demonic witch. It was moving, very dark, and full of brutal violence from the oppressors against FERN and later her friends from the new coven. Fortunately, when the Hellhounds intervene, everything gets back on track. It was a great introduction to the new series, but also one that connects with the old ones. Keep reading in order.
𝐈 𝐑✧𝐄✧𝐂✧𝐎✧𝐌✧𝐌✧𝐄✧𝐍✧𝐃 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒ⵑ
✅ 2 Bad Magic (2025) - 4.2 ⭐
𝐒𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 - Both characters annoyed me greatly. Fortunately, the supporting characters saved the plot.
This whole 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗬𝗙𝗘𝗥 is also a good guy, some of his experiments on those hellhounds keep coming to light 🤦♀
✅ 3 Bad Blood (2025) - 4.5 ⭐
𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐑 "𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐇" 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐎𝐗𝐀𝐍𝐄 "𝐑𝐎𝐗𝐘"💘 It was very dark; I didn't like what they both had to go through with that selfish Lucifer and how he treated them 👿
I'm waiting for the next parts. Now it will be volume 7 of Fallen's Rebellion (2026) from the Knights of Hell series
✅ 4 Bad Witch - September 14, 2026 - 4.5 ⭐
𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐚𝐤𝐚 "𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐀 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄" 𝐨𝐫 "𝐁" - Another witch with incredible skills who saves the day. I loved it when the two of them finally came together. The epilogue was great.
It was a brilliant idea to weave the Doom Wraiths storyline into the plot.
I’m still waiting for the book about Kurgan and Lenny, but before that, there’s a bonus story coming where we’ll find out what Garan—the Guardian of Tregan—did with the potion Tempest gave him. It’s so intriguing.

This series just keeps getting better! Bad Witch was completely unputdownable with twists and turns, steamy scenes that will make you blush, and more of the hounds that I love. Everyone needs to read this book!

Fender was so incredibly patient and good and protective. I love how when he recognized that Temp was his mate, he took things at her pace. Tempest was so incredibly sweet and badass. She has so many secrets that she has to keep. These two stole my heart! I love them so much!

The ongoing storyline was so compelling and absolutely addicting. I can't wait for the next book! More people need to read this series! It's incredible!

ARC review.

addictive

All of these books by Sherilee are addictive and make great reading. The drama, pace of the story and the characters you get to know and love in each book makes you crave the next! Recommend to anyone that loves a good mix of drama, sexual tension, mystery and secrets.

2.5 Stars

There some enjoyable parts but for the most part the romance is very slow developed. The h is in a constant state of denial with the H, asking OM to be her lover. Anyone but the H could be her lover. She even asked a gay guy lol

[Fae]

are we even surprised?

are we surprised that Sherilee Gray has once again brought us feral emotions, strong FMCs that don’t need a man but when the time comes will lean on their men & Hellhounds that will do *anything* for their mates 🤌

when Tempest was going around looking for someone to be her lover … i could *feel* Fender’s pain 🥺 how he managed to hold off as long as he did is a feat! maybe because he saw them as “lesser” males but once a Hellhound became a “possibility” he was done waiting

i’m sorry … i know Wendy had been hurt by her äbusive husband, but oooh man! did i want to slap her & maybe even knock some sense into her! SHE asked Matilda for help & now she’s mad & judging at Tempest & even wants her husband back? he was going to keep hurting her & *then* her children!!! LET. ME. AT. HER!!! 🤺

quite honestly … the whole part of all the witches pretty much turning their back on the Matildas even if they will use them when they are in need is not unexpected but for Mags to have been as rude & have no empathy with Tempest so much so that she didn’t want to be friends with her anymore because she was afraid? i was heavily disappointed on her! Mags definitely needed to apologize to Tempest (Willow too while we’re at it) & they never did! Mags slightly helping at the end isn’t enough … Tempest deserved an apology after all she did for everyone & all she was put thru

Lucifer has no business being so delicious as he is always is! even if he lost his cool there for a second with Roman. BUT as much as i love me some Lucifer … for the first time, he’s making me wary. is he making the same mistake he did with his handmaids? i really *really* hope Zari isn’t Roman’s mate & keeping them apart (unless there’s a really REALLY good reason) otherwise, he’s going to be in a lot of trouble for doing the same shıt again

i’m curious about Manny … he’s a water dwelling monster but what is he? he has scales & yips 🤔 & is able to take care of *issues* that Matilda throws at him … what are you? total mystery

the peach branding at the end was hilarious! loved that 😂 i loved the whole book! so many emotions! & FINALLY Kurgan will get a chance in his book! i can’t wait! also can’t wait to find out what Garan is up to 😈

Rated 4.5 Stars

I loved Bad Witch. It was engrossing, entertaining and kept me wholly invested from start to finish. My emotions were locked in from page one. I was all in with these characters. Fender was such a growly sweetheart and Tempest was awkwardly endearing. I loved her, truth be told I loved them both. Their journey was packed with adventure, secrets, tension, steam, twists and turns. What I loved about it most was the relationship dynamics between them. I truly loved watching them graduate from awkwardness to mates. It was such an enjoyable transition.

I have so much love for this series each book is as interesting and intriguing as the previous one. I can't recommend them enough. I will be over here impatiently waiting, counting down the days until I can get my hands on the next book in the series it's one I've been highly anticipating. I so can't wait.

5 Bad Ass 🌟’s!

I always look forward to a Sherilee Gray book and this series has had me being patient for each new release! Again, Sherilee didn’t disappoint with her attention to detail in the unique storyline and I was lost in the best of ways in Tempest’s and Fender’s story. Finished in a day, so now I am eagerly awaiting the next book. Sherilee is one of the best paranormal romance writers! Her characters have depth, the interconnected stories are told in such a way that reading them is effortless and so easy to get lost in them. The intimacy/sex scenes are 🔥 and exceptionally written with such good banter and dialogue. Sherilee, you create the best stories to escape into and I am an appreciative fan!

Bad Witch🧙

Bad Witch is the next book in the Hellhound series and focuses on Fender and Tempest🙌 Tempest is a healer but she has many secrets. Fender has gotten to know Tempest via his visits to the clinic. When he gets an assignment, he asks Tempest to help him so he can get to know her better as he suspects she might be his mate☺️

A great story with some unexpected twists🤩 I’m looking forward to the next couple…I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❤️‍🩹

[Kerri]

Love the series however this was just ok for me. She didn’t seem that into him. It’s a weird thing to be bothered by, but when they finally “do it”, it’s after a day or so of chasing and running and rolling in the dirt - and no shower. All i could think of was “ew”. Throw in a sexy shower scene before the main event! Anyhoo, I look forward to the next one 😊

[Madeleine]

So far Fender + Tempest are me favorite couple. Lol, who am I kidding? I love them all. Such an enjoyable read and adventure with these characters.
