It definitely was the weakest of the 3 installments.
Why was Ophelia so whiny? And I didn’t like the ending.
Her giving up her powers felt like a lot of character growth was revoked. Yes, she didn’t want her powers in the first place but she grew into them, why stripping them away?

I liked the relationship growth between the four men (why does Ophelia call them „boys“ though? They’re decade old immortals! Definitely not boys!)
I wish Lucian would have played a bigger role. I really liked him.

🎧 All these amazing narrators really make the story come to life. Compared to just reading words on a page and a movie playing in my head, there was still a movie but it was brought more to life with the addition of these narrators. I think Joe Arden was voicing 4 different characters and he really put his foot into bringing each character to life. This was a perfect wrap up to this trilogy and was kind of unexpected from Sadie. I would be interested to read more fantasy written by her if it ever happens in the future. There are twists and turns, emotions are running high, there are action packed scenes, and you can't forget the spice! All that made an amazing book and I still appreciate that Ophelia is a softer FMC than most.

Bound in Blood is the third book in the Broken Bloodlines series written by Sadie Kincaid. 


What to expect:

*Vampires

*Ancient prophecy

*Dragons 


Overall I enjoyed this series, some of the scenes were a little over dramatic but I have always enjoyed this author’s work. 


My only complaint was that the FMC was forced to sacrifice her powers to save the world, I think that was needless but I’m not a writer and I’m sure the author had her reasons for ending it the way she did.
