Genre: Mystery, Romance, Supernatural, Suspense, Teen--
Emma is so excited to move back to her home town after three years away, mianly because she has missed her older brother Sean, her absolute favorite person. But things are not as happy and carefree as she hoped they would be. Sean is acting off, not the carefree brother she missed. And to make things more complicated, there is a boy she keeps thinking about- a boy she was told to stay away from.
This is very much so a ya paranormal romance. Sure there is random plot with mystery and paranormal info thrown here and there, but the heart of Bound is love. We have the ongoing familial love and bond between Sean and Emma, as well as the new tentative love between Liam and Emma. Overall, the point of the book is the lengths someone will go for love as well fighting for what is right.
Side note, would an immortal being really fall into insta-love with someone they have spoke just a few casual times to? Eh, I am not certain if that is the case- I mean if you have all the time in the world, why rush? Just saying.
I found it really hysterical that the main character references the Twilight series in the book and how she did not want to be seen as another vampire obsessed girl while she was researching the mysterious Liam. The entire time I was reading this book I was mentally comparing it to Twilight (it was very similar, let's be honest). A teen girl who just wants to do the right thing but is kind of a loner, mysterious boy she is drawn to that keeps to himself and she is warned away from, being attacked by guys and is saved by said mysterious boy who has strange powers, going to do research on him to discover what he really is, a question and answer session in the woods and he carries her around with his super speed... Does that sound familiar to you? Yep, very similar to Twilight. And I don't mean it in a bad way, people really love the Twilight series (and no, I was not one of them) so I can see this as the perfect series for a Twilight fan to get their next fix. I just found it funny that the book even mentions how she does not want to be associated with Twilight...
All that being said, it was an easy paranormal romance read perfect for those looking for some light escapism reading. Make sure to pick up the next book in the series since there are a lot of things going on that you will for sure want answered.
I am voluntarily reviewing a complimentary copy of this book.
Author Bio:
I was never that child you found in the corner reading. In fact, I loathed the idea of picking up a book. The activity seemed more of a chore than a past time.
All that changed when my brother began talking to me about the newest novel he was reading.Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. Before I knew it, my curiosity got the better of me, luring me to try the series. It didn't take long for my mindset of reading to turn on its head.
But even with my new hobby discovered it wasn't until my junior year of college that I developed a hidden desire for writing stories. And when I found myself writing scenes instead of paying attention to my professors, I knew becoming a writer was the career path I was meant to follow.
Covers look cool.
