Synopsis (Goodreads):
Alex’s mission: Kill the hellhounds that have invaded earth and return to his home in the Beyond. But from the start, things go horribly wrong. The hounds are cunning and a human female witnesses their attack—she intervenes and saves Alex’s life. Now he must keep the alluring Lilly alive while fighting his desire for her. When passion flares, Alex risks all to protect her and defend the forbidden life he craves.
Thoughts on The Forbidden Life of Alex Moore: I didn't quite know what to expect from this book when I picked it up, but I really enjoyed it. The Beyond sounds like a pretty craptastic place to live and I totally understand why those who can are jumping ship to earth.

Alex might come from a place that sucks the joy right out of you (totally seems that way, anyway), but Lilly's life isn't easy, either. She lost her sister not long after finding her and she's adrift now. When she helps Alex, she doesn't know what she's getting into, but she can't walk away. It helps that he's smokin' hot and can possibly give her some answers to the weirdness going on around her.

I kinda liked the hellhounds. Not all of them, but a few of them had their moments. Between Alex and the hellhounds, there's a lot of exploration about the capacity to change and daring to want something that seems out of reach.

Enjoyable enough I'm eyeballing the others in the series now. Good stuff, man. Good stuff.
