Nico Bravo and the Hound of Hades

Mike Cavallaro — 2019

Take another look at your favorite myths and legends in this hillarious new graphic novel by Mike Cavallaro! Got a problem? At Vulcan’s Celestial Supply Shop, you can find the magical merchandise to set things right. The seasoned staff—a kid named Nico Bravo, a sphinx named Lula, and a unicorn named Buck—pride themselves on providing “legendary service and expertise in all areas of the arcane.” But Nico’s world is about to be turned upside down, and it’s all thanks his latest customer: Eowulf, the pint-size descendant of the monster slayer Beowulf. Determined to carry on the family business, this would-be warrior plans to slay Cerberus, the terrifying, three-headed hound of Hades. There’s just one problem—Cerberus is the only thing preventing the hordes of the Underworld from entering the land of the living. Can Nico stop Eowulf from unleashing a zombie apocalypse?

My girl Eva Winners has shown herself again. Reading this series is making me feel like I'm part of the mafia. OMG I'm dying to find out what happens next and hope that the other males get books and HEAs as well. Really, I'd want to be adopted by this family (in all of her books). I like Bianca because, despite her little stature, she exudes attitude like no other character in, and her coupling with Nico is ideal. I'm not going into detail about this book because I don't want to ruin anything, but the characters from all the books are fantastic and seeing how they will not allow anything to happen to the ladies and children is... ugh..no words. I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this book is. I'm at a loss for words. Finally, I couldn't help but cheer as Bianca and Benito squared up in the building. Let me just state that Nico and Bianca's chemistry is HOT, ROUGH, and SPICY; there is no gentle, sweet love between them.
