Blood Bound by Rachel Vincent
Paranormal Romance writer Rachel Vincent has done it again! She has created a dark, dangerous, gritty world in which knowing someone’s full, true name is power and where paranormal abilities are exploited for the advancement and power of the syndicate – run on the opposite sides of the town by Jake Towers and Ruben Cavazos – a bad guy you can’t help but end up liking . . . just a little bit.
In Blood Bound, the debut book in the new Unbound series, we meet Liv Warren, one of The Skilled, she can track anyone down by the scent of their blood. Determined to not be bound to anyone, Liv tries to make it on her own in a dangerous world, but soon finds herself being drawn into a world and a life she despises.
The deeper you get into the story, the more you see how the puzzle pieces fit together and begin to fall into place and you find that you can’t put it down – I certainly couldn’t!!! One of my favorite lines was from page 171: “When I looked down, I was surprised to see blood staining my shirt and welling through a hole in the material. ‘You’ve been shot, Liv.’ Oh. How the hell had I missed that?” This is an example of Liv, the way she thinks and talks – and I loved every moment of it.
The only part that was a little disconcerting in the beginning had nothing to do with the story itself or the development of the characters. It was how the perspectives would quickly change between Liv and Cam, sometimes without me even realizing whose perspective I was reading from. Although I did get used to it quickly, it still threw me a little in the beginning.
Have read Rachel Vincent’s Shifters series and now reading her young adult Soul Screamers series, Rachel Vincent is definitely an author to keep an eye on!!! Blood Bound had me turning pages (or at least clicking through them on my Kindle) at lightning speed and I cannot wait for the next installment in this series – which is sure to be as much of a hit as the Shifters series was.
