Bound by Shadow by Anna Windsor
3.0
So this story and the premise of it were great. There were a couple of issues, like the plot got overshadowed sometimes by the romance, and in other places I got really irritated with reading the same I should turn him in but I can't because I love him speech, happens about 50 times in the book. I characters are fun but Riana's character really bugged me.
Anyways the plot was great. I loved it. It's about Riana Dumain a Sybil or trained warrior priestess who battles evil with earth magic, with her two partners Cynda the fire Sybil and Merilee the air Sybil. They are fighting against a cult of dark magic users called the Legion. The Legion uses their magic to summon demons and kill people. One day a kid winds up dead by magic and two OCU or Occult Crimes Unit detectives show up. Creed Lowell and his partner Andy. Creed has a very dangerous secret though he's a half demon created by the Legion himself. Riana has to choose between her love and her sisters or does she...?
I loved most of the characters but I can honestly say the Riana's character bugged me. She was so whiny and desperate which is so different from how the author tried to make her which was as a leader and a strong-willed woman. Riana can't so anything by herself until about the last 50 pages of the book then she finally grows a backbone. She is so afraid of everything. I don't know her character just is one of my worst pet-peeves. Creed on the other hand was gorgeous and fun though there were times when he too couldn't do anything unless Riana was there but at least he had a back bone from the very beginning. I loved Cynda's character she's fiery and temperamental but very loyal and caring. She follows her heart and does what she thinks is right even if she loses everything in the process. Merilee was the mediator between Cynda and everyone else. She's cool, calm, collected, and follows her friends even if they do something wrong. The three sister triad are actually perfect for each other. They each complement the other.
So overall it was good I just couldn't stand Riana. I give it 3.5 stars.
