"Blood tethered" is the first book in this YA LGBTQ paranormal series.
It's a very atmospheric book and I loved the small town setting. The town's history was very interesting.
We follow Theo, the golden boy of the school and Kade, the outsider who everybody calls Monster. A series of events forces them to work together in order to uncover the mystery about vampires and hunters. At first they are reluctant but soon they start getting closer, become friends and eventually develop feelings for each other. The relationship between Kade and Theo was one of my favorite things about the book. It was very well done and I cared for both Kade and Theo so much. I want them to be happy together and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
The vampire lore was intriguing, I have so many questions and I'm looking forward to discover more. I loved the twist and I'm very curious about Felicity, Theo's best friend.
Fantastic start to the series! I'm hooked.
