Breaking Mace (Hellhounds MC) by Angelique Voisen - Romance>LGBTQ>Gay eBook

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?

Book Review

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.

"I named your brother after the prophet Ezra, because he’s the one good thing in this miserable life I created. You, you’re just an empty echo, a waste of space,” Janet Haines once said."

I didn't think I had any empathy for Echo, especially after he abandoned his brother to being killed by the wolves, but there's something really sad about Echo. Deep down he just wants someone to love him, just him, and to keep him. Of course I definitely didn't see Mace's decision and the fallout from it coming when he decided to do just that.

The ending was exciting and reminded me of a Mad Max movie. It looks like The Collector, the guy who owns most of the southern lands, has set his sights on getting what the Hellhounds have. An incubus to add to his zoo. Well, Echo and Mace aren't about to let that happen, and it's a fight, to be sure. I'm looking forward to more in this series as, so far, the action/adventure and sexiness have been over the top.
