Contract Bound
by Elle Mae
This book was kind of weird, in a good way. I am newer to reading fantasy and sometimes the lore can get overwhelming for me. I talked about this book at nauseam with my best friend because we talk about our different experiences reading with me being white and them being black. This book falls into a place that we call "fantasy racism". My main gripe is just how long it took Silvia to stop talking about the vampires as she did for most of the book. Look - I get it, her family was killed by vampires and she was in this cultish vampire hunting ring, but her hate for the vampires as a whole just becomes draining after awhile. I know her entire worldview is like falling around her but I just couldn't really get into it.
I stayed for this book because the chemistry between the two main characters is amazing. The spice is really, really, good. It hit me in all the right places. This book is stupid hot. The plot isn't half bad either. I think the characters are genuinely well done and I felt really connected to the main three. I want to put Gillard in a baby carrier and take him everywhere with me. I felt like the ending was kind of rushed so I am interested to see what happens in the sequel. I am hoping Silvia will have less of the vampire hate that she did in the first book which would make it a lot more readable for me.
