This book just hit the ground running and never slowed down!  Flynn introduces us into a world where hounds of hell come and drag evil souls through the gates of hell and actually makes you cheer for them!  I wondered how a hellhound could be one of the main characters--but it worked.  She shows us the hounds going about their business of picking up an evil soul and then she throws a monkeywrench in the works.  The soul belongs to the hound of hell's mate and it is pure.  So everything is happening at a furious pace and that pace continues throughout the book.  She makes her characters believable--she gives them little quirks that give them depth and interest.  She shows how Rafe, the innocent, reacts to being in the "real" world and shows Stryker's vulnerability.  Of course she also throws in some misunderstandings and an element of danger to keep things hopping.  A good backstory and a promise for more to come make this a great start of a series.
