When your hellhound needs training, you hire the best trainer for the job…Death.



While in London, Peaches, Simon’s faithful hellhound manages to grow to the size of a small bus, shocking Monty & Simon with his new transformation. Realizing the danger of a Peaches XL, the Montague & Strong Detective Agency take steps to control these growth spurts. They acquire a special collar to regulate the size shifts, but it’s not working. The situation is growing out of control…literally.

Equipped with teleportation, eye-beams, impervious skin, and an insatiable appetite for sausage the time has come to train Peaches. There’s only one problem—no one wants to train a hellhound. Running out of options, Simon finally discovers someone willing to take on the task…Ezra the personification of Death and trainer of Cerberus, Peaches’ father.

Now with Death as his trainer, Peaches and Simon must undergo extensive hellhound obedience training. If they fail, they’ll discover that there is a fate worse than Death. Will Peaches learn to control his abilities? Will he outgrow the situation and destroy the training facility? Will he ever get enough sausage?

Join Simon as he learns that a dog may be man’s best friend, but a hellhound’s love can dwarf any obstacle.

5.0 out of 5 stars PEACHES! What more needs be said!
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018

This short about Peaches is totally awesome and totally too short! We love that big brute of a Hellhound and we are "jonesing" for him to get his own series! Now, with that said and out of the way, back to the review.
Monty, Simons Mage partner, has had it with puppy, Peaches, chewing up his very expensive shoes. Monty calls Death INCARNATE, Ezra, and makes an appointment for Simon and Peaches to go through "Hellhound Training". Needless to say but all Hell breaks loose! While monsters try to kill them, Simon (weaponless!) and Peaches have to find their, very complex, way back to Ezra, or die trying!
Loads of action, laughs, and foreshadowing, you simply must read!

As with every Montegue and Strong story this short novella catches your attention right away and keeps it all the way through. The focus, this time, is Simon and Peaches' bond and the reader learns more about that special relationship and roots for the bondmates throughout. An integral part of the Montegue and Strong universe with surprises but an all around win for the team. 12/10 - I highly recommend the entire Montegue and Strong series!

To read this you should read the other books in the series first. Having done that, I really enjoyed this short story as it expands on the relationship, bond and training of Simon and Peaches. With their new strengths I am looking forward to the next in the series. Sanchez has created characters that are fun and enjoyable to know. Watching their growth keeps one engaged in the story line. Also, its good to know an author listens to his readers as this is a book requested by them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love me some more Peaches!

Doesn’t everyone want their own hellhound? Maybe not one that gets as big as a bus, eh?

Simon takes it all in stride. But his partner insists they get control of Peaches, a hellhound gifted to Simon by Hades himself. It wouldn’t do to have a super sized hellhound with laser beam eyes rampaging through the city.

So Simon and Peaches are sent to obedience school, the instructor being Death, or Ezra as she prefers to be called. They must pass the test or things could go really bad. Simon, a mere human thrown into a world of the paranormal, thinks its a nuisance but Peaches is game.

I came into this not knowing what to expect. From the synopsis, I had a good feeling it would be fun. It was tons of fun. Simon is still new to the paranormal world and fumbles, a lot. He also tends to run off at the mouth, trying everyone’s patience. But Peaches. Peaches is game for anything as long as there is food and plenty of it.

The action doesn’t take long to get going. The moment they enter the training area things go from dicey to a fight to the death. As Simon struggles to use anything available, Peaches actually has to step in to train his human. It was a wild ride from there on and kept me glued to the pages.

Did I enjoy this dip into Orlando’s Montague & Strong paranormal urban fantasy series? Yep. Will I read more? You betcha! Would I recommend it? An enthusiastic yes!

This is the first read for me in this series. I stumbled onto it, but it is the sort of read I enjoy....a bit like the early Xanth and the Myth Adventures series. It was a fast read and I enjoyed it. I expect to put this author on my reading list.

I love the Peaches, the hellhound, even if I am not much of a meat eater. His buddy Strong is a bit of a meathead. But that is ok. He is learning and he does manage to get out of trouble, eventually.
Going back ti the beginning of the series since there is much I have forgotten. Such fun. Read this series from the beginning. You will not regret it.

Hellhound was an interesting novel. Could use more story. I really don't know if I like or not. Need to read a full novel not a few pages.
