Bound is hot. It's steamy. It has werecreatures and pack dynamics and hate sex, and it's a kinky fucking good time. It's a little novelle to whet your appetite for the main novel, which I will probably read at some point.
What else can I say? It's not that deep. Check the content warnings linked at the front of the book.

MOOD: dark, violent, kinky
TROPES: enemies to lovers,
FAV QUOTE: She needs to be contrary. She needs to make this harder for them.
THE GOOD: What happens when you have a battle-worn harpy, a werelynx, and a werewolverine. No plot, only hate sex vibes. I did like how consent was handled; even with all the hate and violence, the characters did check in. I don’t think a lot of books, let alone 50 page stories, really get the consent part of CNC.
THE NEUTRAL: Hard to start and I’m not sure exactly why. I think it was the sheer amount of characers introduced in the first few pages - and many of them aren’t in the rest of the novella.While I liked the description of the weres being “like shifters lifted on two legs, caught between one phase and the next,” I don’t like the use of were to describe that.
THE MEH: This wasn’t my favorite Aveda Vice but I’m hopeful for Vicious Devotion (and I just started Inextricably Tied)
CW: violence, blood, bondage, CNC

This was a fun and engaging new novella from Vice. I'm very interested to see the world building when we get our first full length novel in this series. My reason for docking a half star was the somewhat confusing world building we're provided up front in this novella. I have confidence it will be ironed out, but it was just distracting from the v kinky steam.
please make sure to check CW on this book as it has a lot, including: dubious power dynamic, humiliation kink, prisoner of war, minor blood play, emotional play, primal kink, breeding kink, begging, bondage play, and very physically rough sex.

If you love enemies to lovers, but like real enemies, like sworn mortal enemies, blades (or claws) at throat ready to k*ll each other first chance they get, looks filled with absolute vitriol and hate... look no further. I'm always in awe of Aveda's worldbuilding and imagination and they did not fail to impress again.
This is a short & (not so) sweet prequel for the upcoming full-length and man, am I excited for the follow-up after reading.
It's a bit bloody, very kinky, and hot all the way through.
This left me needing a cigarette and I don't even smoke. Aveda, please, I need the full-length!!!!!!
Check TWs please
