Thank you for NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for approving my request for an e-ARC of this book! This book is definitely made for fans of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals!
Inara Gage's A Bond with the Dark is a blend of dark fantasy, romance, and supernatural elements. The book is the first installment in The Beautifully Broken Saga. The novel follows Sayah, a complex character with a tumultuous past, as she navigates a world filled with witches, vampires, demons, and other supernatural beings. Dominic, the MMC, has his own fair share of familial struggles. The book delivers strong chemistry between the two characters, even has spice (imo very sexy!), but also some elements of 'who will she choose'.
I felt like the pacing was a bit slow at first, but I sped through it once I got passed the 1/4 mark. The dialogue was realistic and easy to read. I also appreciated the worldbuilding in this book. The world feels immersive with a well-crafted lore and magic system. One thing that stood out for me is the similarities between this supernatural universe and TVD, without it being too copied.
Overall, A Bond with the Dark is a book that is a mix of familiar tropes and plot twists that could make you keep turning that page! I loved this book and would recommend it for readers and fans of romance and fantasy within a supernatural world with witches and vampires! I can't wait to read the second book!
