**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 5 starsGeneral: I've enjoyed the concept behind the Hellhound series from the beginning. I've always that they were missing just a little something that I could never really put my finger on. This was it! This book was attention grabbing from the very first page (prior to origin story # 1) and on throughout each and every page. This is by far my favorite installation in this series. Please note this book cannot be read properly without the first three in the series or many parts will not make sense.First, I love the idea of a "handbook" so many people write prequels and short stories to insert needed information. Doing it this way, at the very end, was refreshing and new and a wonderful idea from Rue. It took beloved characters who weren't the most developed, and others that were extremely developed and continued to grow them into some very powerful ones. These origin stories were well paced but oh my gosh I wanted more anymore!Dorian, my personal series fav, get his origin story in the first "tale" The Long Ride to Hell. It was a wonderful story that was engaging and emotion drawing. It was hard no to feel bad for Dorian as we saw his past essentially run into hell. The descriptions in this one were amazing.  By far this short was my favorite part.“Moriah”, is Lucifers story and I enjoyed every second. It was the traditional tale we see of those who fall. Love, loss and betrayal. Yet this one was original. I can't shed much more light on it without spoilers but Lucifer certainly had me rooting for him by the end of the story and forgetting that he's the evil one.
