Review

An incredible continuation in The Hound of Hell series by Rory D Nelson! Lots of dark, cunning and honestly, quite flawed heroes pepper this epic. Though vicious and sadistic at times, they are nevertheless very endearing and I am compelled to root for them in all their misadventures. One thing I hate is reading about cookie cutter, wooden characters so prevalent in most fantasy. You won't find any of that here. Nelson's characters are deep and engrossing! Highly Recommended!-Matthew Motts, Reader's Favorite ★★★★★

An adrenaline-fused adventure with unexpected plot twists and a menagerie of unforgettable characters you can't help but to love. Don't start reading this one too late. You won't be able to put it down! A stunning standalone in an incredible series! -BZT Reviews ★★★★★

Rory D Nelson has given fantasy and action-adventure fans a lofty addition to their collections of dare-devil, fight-for-right, no-holds-barred reading materials. The Hound of Hell is one hell of a read. Ryan Lanz, The Book Review Directory ★★★★

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

For the past 20 years, Rory D Nelson has owned and operated a window cleaning business in Northern California, where he lives happily with his fiancée, Janell, his dogs, Ruger and Cupcake and his cat, Buddy.

Rory writes prolifically: numerous comedy shorts, humorous t-shirts and commercial parodies. Many have been sold to Comedy Central. Some of his favorite writers are John Steinbeck, Ann Rice, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Mary Shelley, Sylvia Plath, H.P. Lovecraft and George Orwell.

As an accomplished actor, Rory participated in numerous high school productions during his youth. In college, he once fabricated a bong from a hand-held vacuum cleaner. Sadly, that was his greatest achievement in college.

When he's not writing or dangling from heights cleaning windows, Rory can be found wine-tasting, body-surfing, exploring California's picturesque coastline, weight-training and binging shows on Netflix.

Besides spending time with the love of his life, Janell, Rory's other passion is writing The Brotherhood of Merlin series and The Hound of Hell.

Pre orders are now available for The Hound of Hell - Book Four - Wrath of the Mutineers scheduled for release February 14, 2021. Stay tuned and follow him on Amazon for the continuation of the next books in both series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic!!!

The amazing Rory D. Nelson has done it yet again! The creative genius went into his writing laboratory, pondered, poked, and electrified till yet another master piece was bought to life! Have you not met this mad author that I speak of? Now is definitely the time to meet this distinctive writer. Though I suggest you start at the beginning of the Brotherhood of Merlin series and for sure book one of the Hound of Hell to fully grasp the magnitude of this EPIC adventure! I can not stress the word EPIC enough to illustrate these books.
Renault and his quests just keeps going and going. Renault puts the energizer bunny to shame. I know you are probably skeptical on a series as a whole, or the length of a series in general and the ability of a series to hold one's attention but let me tell you, this series does not disappoint in any area. Mr. Nelson has created such an unique vast world where the possibilities are limitless. A world that it is impossible to get bored with. A world that only draws you in and makes you crave more and more. Worst than a can of Pringles, lol. A world of complex well developed thought provoking characters. Characters you love and characters you love to hate.
Scenes that explode in IMAX theater quality in one's head. Action packed is too mild to describe such dramatic battles. Picture nuclear detonation and you come closer to the realism of each scene. Blood shed is imminent to say the least. Blood baths are more like it. Imagery is beyond belief. Edge of your seat suspension where one is literally hanging from one page to the next, nail biting times a hundred.
Move over Jason Statham, step aside Vin Diesel, sorry Jean-Claude Van Damme wrong generation, make way for the new bad a** in town, Renault, as his journey takes him to Fort Bennington as his fight for justice continues! I am not about to give even the slightest of spoilers, except to say you are going to love Malachi. He has his own internal turmoil going on.
So if any of this intrigues you and sounds up your alley then what are you waiting for. An invitation? Let this be your invitation. An invitation to start an epic adventure. Today is as good as any day to go on an adventure.
Highly recommend.
Thank you Rory D. Nelson for another astonishing read. You never have disappointed me!

4.0 out of 5 stars Action packed
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
Renault has made a mess of things and fixing them may not be possible. The man is like a cat with 9 lives, except he has already used several. His family life is a mess and his friends think he has abandoned him. He has a rough road ahead.
Nelson writes a violent and dangerous world that pulls you in and makes you shudder. Beware, some of the graphic scenes could be a trigger for those who do not like blood, gore and rape. His characters are tough and flawed but looking for love and redemption.

I received this book for free and wished to leave a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars An adrenaline rush!
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020
This book is the best so far and he has to come clean to his wife and children and they have a hard time coming to terms with it. His friends think that he’s deserted them. He now has a hard way before him as things are getting out of control. This story has adventure, intrigue and twists, a violence as he fights his way through! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too gory for my liking
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021
This story was real good, some serious gore. In fact too much for me to keep on reading. Every other page has a swear word or murder. Not for me but would be really interesting for people who loves this kind of hardcore violence and men who are paid mercenaries.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020
Renault, Hound of Hell, whatever you call him he is an amazing character whose adventures you'll love to follow. Secretly doing what needs to be done to keep his family and friends safe, it doesn't seem fair that people who know him are horrified at his secret identity. A superhero you will want to read about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful dark fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
This is a well-written story with strong, complex, flawed characters. It's full of action, tension, suspense, pursuit, conflicted feelings, honor, and justice. It was a little too bloody and violent for me, but I didn't take away any stars for that, since that is my personal taste and doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the writing.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

It is really not my cup of tea. It is boring. I read three chapters and said nope. The conversations and characters are very flat. I am so sorry but just NOPE!
