Bloodhounds by Harrison Phillips ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 Wow. Just... wow. Bloodhounds is a visceral, heart-pounding, and downright brutal ride through the darkest corners of human cruelty. Harrison Phillips pulls no punches in this gripping tale of horror, and while it’s not an easy read, it’s one that lingers with you long after the final page.

The story follows Jess, a compassionate APS (Animal Protection Society) inspector, and her ex, Andy, as they go undercover to infiltrate a brutal dog-fighting ring. From the very first chapter, Phillips immerses you in a gritty, morally gray world where the stakes are life and death—not just for the animals but for Jess and Andy as well.

🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨
The tension is dialed up to 11 when Jess and Andy attend one of the fights. The descriptions of the dogs and their suffering are gut-wrenching, and the arena itself—a grim, makeshift ring surrounded by shadowy figures—feels alive with menace. The moment Jess’s hidden camera is discovered by Roy, the charming yet terrifying ringleader, had me holding my breath. And when the bloodhounds, Bonnie and Clyde, are unleashed in the chaos, it’s an unforgettable and heart-stopping moment.

Jess is a standout character. Her fierce determination to save the animals, even at great personal risk, makes her easy to root for. Andy, with his cocky attitude and complicated history with Jess, adds tension and depth to the story. Their partnership—though strained—creates a dynamic that keeps the plot moving and the stakes high.

Phillips’s ability to craft atmosphere is incredible. The grimy underground world of the dog-fighting ring feels oppressively real, and the detailed, unflinching descriptions of violence are not for the faint of heart. But beyond the gore, there’s a strong emotional core: the love and care Jess feels for the animals and her unyielding drive to bring justice to their abusers.

The ending is explosive, chaotic, and deeply satisfying. Without giving too much away, justice is served in the most cathartic way possible, and it’s a conclusion that will have readers cheering for Jess’s resilience and courage.

If you’re a fan of extreme horror with a purpose—stories that make you feel every moment of dread, disgust, and triumph—Bloodhounds is an absolute must-read. It’s not just a horror novel; it’s a dark, unflinching look at the lengths people will go to for justice and redemption.
