Water Bound
by Christine Feehan
3.25 Stars
—Rikki: I was pleasantly surprised by how not-cringey the autistic representation was. I also feel like autistic women are pretty underrepresented in general, so that was cool to see. I appreciated her routines, her snappishness, her obsession with peanut butter, and how she slowly allows Lev into her life. Also, her water powers were awesome. 8/10.
—Lev: An amnesia spy man who, thankfully, does not have too much alpha hole behavior. He’s also got trauma, empath skills, and is gone for the heroine pretty quickly, but I wasn’t very attached to him. 5/10
—Smut: Eh? I found the language here to be a bit distant and flowery. I don’t care for phrases like “her feminine channel,” so…3/10
—Plot: When the plot actually happened, I liked it. Feehan writes some fun, propulsive action scenes. But these two spend so much time just hanging out at Rikki’s house just thinking about each other that I get bored a lot. I wish the pacing was tighter. 5/10
—Side Characters: I’m intrigued what the other sisters of the heart have going on with them, so I’d call it a success. Blythe and Judith specifically intrigue me. 7/10.
—Audiobook narrator Angela Brazil was solid.
—Overall, If you like slower paced paranormal romance that’s mid to low heat, this might t be up your alley. I’m intrigued my this series and want to see where it goes.
