Did I just find my new favorite series??? It’s quite possible. 
This first book in a newish fantasy romance series had be captivated from page 1. There was a perfect amount of world building that had me imagining the storyline vividly in my head the whole time, yet was still very character driven at the same time. The magic system doesn’t seem too complex but is intriguing and I really hope we hear more details about how it works in book two. This is also true enemies to lovers, captor/captive, and I was SO conflicted by their relationship basically the entire book…it was just a fantastic read. With the cliffhanger at the end, I have a feeling we haven’t even scratched the surface of the Bound by Blood realm and I’m so excited to jump into book two!
