Rebecca Hendricks does it again in the Hound Dogs series, it had everything that I enjoyed from the first book and worked with the historical fiction element of this. The characters felt like they were supposed to and enjoyed the overall feel of them in this story. I am glad I got to read this sequel and can’t wait for more.
