Blood Bonds by J. Bree
2.75
dark tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Still annoyed at the overuse of specifics in phrasings - "bond" being just one. Oli is still written, annoyingly young. I realize she is only 19 but in the first book she's written as, a direct quote, a "mature nineteen". There's a good chunk of time that she acts kind of entitled,  which I think is fully on the author for not characterizing her well enough because I don't think Oleander the actual character would act that way.

But this one starts to actually get a little interesting plot wise. Blood Bonds had me thinking "what's really going on here?" Some of the other bonds get a little more interesting and more character development happening.

Cliffhangers have nothing on me I already have Forced Bonds on deck!!
