How Love Begins is a tender and gripping novelette about the early passion between Herbert and Janey.
The story feeds into the main three books of The Dog Trilogy.
About the first novel in the series, Blame The Dogs:
5 out of 5 stars
"Grabs you by the collar from page one and doesn't let go."
"Dark, smart, and impossible to predict, this is a psychological thriller that lingers long after the final page. The characters are layered and flawed in ways that make them feel unsettlingly real-you'll find yourself rooting for them even when you're not sure you should. Just when things start to make sense, the story throws another curveball."
