Hellhounds MC #2
Breaking Mace
Tough times need hard men, and Mace is the perfect tyrant for dystopian times. Werewolf alpha and president of the Hellhounds MC, he runs Wolf County with an iron fist. The penalty for breaking the law is death. But Mace shows unexpected mercy and becomes possessive over the incubus that did his people harm.
Echo hitchhiked his way across the apocalyptic-torn country, feeding on the lust and desperation of others. After Mace lets him go, Echo is captured by slavers, and returns to Wolf County by unexpected means. No matter what he does, Echo can’t seem to fill the vast emptiness inside him. What better way to go, than die at the feet of a dominant male capable of taming his troubled soul?
Echo’s pull on Mace is inevitable, but is their attraction real or manufactured?

Mace is the president and all-around badass of the Hellhounds MC. So it was very disconcerting at the end of book one to see Mace release Echo, Ezra's incubus twin, and allow him to leave Wolf County after all the destruction he caused. I'm not even sure Mace understood his feelings, except he knew he had to get Echo as far away from him as possible, and Mace made Spider swear, on his life, that he'd never tell anyone that Mace didn't kill Echo. Hmm. Mystery and suspense within the club.
Mace hasn't been right in the head since his mate died during the Fall. Wolves mate for life, and Mace should have followed his mate into death, but instead he became a partially insane leader of a biker gang, and he's managed to make Wolf County practically a paradise in the dystopian world they now live in. Now, he and his brothers have sniffed out slave traders in the area, and they head out to take back what's theirs. Mace didn't expect to catch Echo's scent, but when he does, Mace goes a little bit more crazy knowing his mate is hurt.

3.5 stars...rounded up, because I recently developed soft spot for Angelique Voisen.
This can be read as a standalone,but the reading experience would certainly be better if you read Revo's Property first...
I have read only a couple of books by AV (for now) and she is quickly becoming one of my safe choices. Because of two things...one, she knows how to write tough men. You know the kind - rough around the edges, with the dangerous vibe (even better when they're on the bike), growly (but in no way Neanderthal), possessive and protective when it comes to their own. But she knows how to make them emotional,too,but in way that is not forced and without diminishing their tough image.
And the second reason is power exchange...I like when one partner is dominating and the other submissive,but not in the BDSM context. And she certainly knows how to write those,too...but with never getting the feeling that the submissive MC is somehow weak.
So,that's what you're getting here - one werewolf MC (with all the traits listed above) and one incubus who finally found a reason to live and feel again set in a post-apocalyptic world trying to raise itself from the ashes. Recommend this one,as well as the first one in the series!
Now on to the next...

After the first book I thought Mace is just a sick bastard, but damn, who could have known that he is...damn. And Echo, oh my... Now I am more than curious what will happen next..

Great story of Mace and Echo, and the struggles that they had to endure to be together. There was a special side of Mace that was only shown to Echo which I thought was so sweet. The story was full of action, danger, and steamy moments. The Hellhounds are definitely fierce and I couldn't get enough. This was ultimately a very intense and entertaining read.

Lots of sex, some trauma, and some "good" bad guys fighting "bad" bad guys. This is fun story for quick afternoon read.

A Joyfully Jay review.

Breaking Mace is the second in the Hellhounds MC series and a direct sequel to Revo’s Property. The writing style and even, quick paced flow of this novella is similar to the first. The story flies by and I was definitely left wanting more of the relationship between Mace and Echo. There were noticeably more editing errors in Breaking Mace than in the first book, and, while they didn’t clutter every page, there were enough to distract me and pull me away from the action. As with the first in the series, there is minimal world building, which is again an opportunity lost, but there is just enough description to establish a loose sense of place. There is wild lawlessness in the dystopian world created by the author and readers are convinced early on that while the Hellhounds are far from law abiding, they are a far better choice than the vast nothingness beyond Wolf County.
Echo is never given quite the depth of his brother Ezra, but he is decidedly more complex than he was in Revo’s Property. Unrestrained and wild when in comparison to Ezra, Echo has long searched for some sort of solution to his addictions. He was resigned and even welcomed death when Mace spared his life. Now he just needs Mace.

Breaking Mace is the second book in the Hellhounds MC series by author Angelique Voisen. I was really looking forward to this book. We sort of met Echo in book one, we did meet his twin Ezra. I wanted to know what the bad boy twin was like, and what motivated him. Echo is a complex character with many layers to explore.
When we meet Echo in this book, he is captured by slavers. He is weak, and defeated. Both physically and mentally. He is an Incubus who has always been told he is nothing, worth nothing. His name even reminds him of that. When Ms Voisen tells us the story of Echo's name I almost cried it was so sad. Made me really want Echo to have a great love. Sometimes people tell us we are bad so much we start to believe that is all we are, that is where Echo is.
Mace is the leader of the Hellhounds. Big, tough, and the kind of man you do not want to be on the wrong side of a fight with. He will win, no matter what. He is intense both personally and physically. His love for Echo is just what a naughty Incubus needs.
I loved the intensity of this book. There is raw emotion that kept me turning the pages. I love intense reads and this one is one. I cannot wait for more from this series in the future. I would suggest reading the books in order they do build on each other. But if you want some great MC Bikers and different, interesting, paranormals this is the book to pick up.

reaking Mace is the 2nd book in this series and should most definitely be read following the first book in my opinion. The story jumped right into a situation where the main character; Mace was rescuing what will soon be his mate named Echo. Mace is the president to the Hellhounds and a powerful werewolf who makes it his mission to protect his county from slavers. This story is set in a post-Apocalyptic Era, where everyday things are scarce and people are not safe to roam around freely but the Hellhounds try and protect the people in the county. copyright of night owl romance https://www.nightowlreviews.com/v5/Re...
