Bound by Forever by S. Young, Samantha Young
5.0
4.5 stars!
Samantha Young (known as S Young in her paranormal writing) has delivered yet another incredible story. If you love paranormal romances, slow burns sizzling with chemistry, and complex characters full of heart, you need to read Bound by Forever (and the previous two books in the series, War of Hearts and Kiss of Vengeance).
Bound of Forever features Niamh Farren, a young, fae-borne woman with psychic abilities. For most of her life, she has been on the run and evading her enemies while trying to understand the visions she sees. It's a life full of loss and loneliness, until she meets Kiyo Fujiwara. The hero, Kiyo, is a brooding, serious, immortal werewolf. He's a mercenary-for-hire and no stranger to loss and loneliness in life either.
Both of these characters were delightful to get to know and their first meeting was incredibly entertaining. There were some misunderstandings and mishandlings (lol) of the situation, and Kiyo and Niamh circled each other for ages as their relationship eventually bloomed. As previously mentioned, it was very much a slow burn romance but the build up was worth it.
I typically like to focus on character development in the stories I read but will also mention the rest of the storyline is equally entertaining. So many events take place that keep the reader on their toes and several beloved characters from the previous books make cameos for fans of the series.
Overall, I found this to be such a great addition to the True Immortality series. It had intrigue, action and a wonderful, slow burn romance. While this book can definitely be read as a standalone, I think getting to know the characters from the previous books first really enhances the reading experience of Bound by Forever.
