Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I finally have everything I've always wanted: I'm part of a team with my brother and best friend, I'm spending my free time on missions hunting down evil monsters, and I'm about to turn nineteen, the age we fully come into our power. Hell, I even get to hang out with my favorite hellhound, Ralph, on my downtime. But it all still just feels empty, pointless even. Guilt is a b*tch. After last month's disaster, the members of Team Six abandoned Guild Headquarters, leaving me alone to deal with the crippling shame for my part in the events that night. And I can't say that I blame them. If I could, I'd run away from all of this pain too. Attacks on campus mixed with dreams that leave me feeling more exhausted than refreshed, have me yearning for our simple life back home in the cabin and wishing that we never joined The Guild at all. Losing focus when I'm supposed to be hunting down all the things that go bump in the night doesn't instill much confidence in my friends either. If I want to secure an official spot on a team, I need to snap out of my grief and become the protector I've always dreamed of becoming. And I need to do it quickly. Attacks are happening in record numbers and the fate of our world as we know it is quite literally on our shoulders. Just when I'm starting to put the pieces of my life back together, Atlas and his team come barreling back into town to stir everything up again. Six is just as alluring as ever, only now I know their big secret. The question is, do I follow my gut and protect them, or do I do what I've been trained to do and never look back? My family and The Guild may have trained me well when it comes to decapitating monsters, but they didn't train me for the one thing more difficult in this line of work...figuring out who exactly I can trust. ◆◆◆Dreams of Hell is Book Three in The Protector Guild series and it does end on a cliffhanger. Max's story is a slow-burn why choose / poly / reverse harem urban fantasy series. Get ready for action, spice, and intrigue.◆◆◆
