Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge
3.0
I picked up this book for one reason alone...the main character's name is Rachelle, and she is an assassin. I was like, "OH HELL YES". I told all my friends and family about this book, I got myself all pumped up and excited, I posted about it on Facebook, and I squealed when it finally made it's way to my Kindle through the library. It took me a couple of days to finish (silly thing called work got in the way), so I couldn't binge like I was hoping to.
Overall, a decent book. I had previous read Cruel Beauty , and thought it was okay. It was a bit dark for my taste, but the story was intriguing. I was hoping that Crimson Bound would be different, but it wasn't. It had the same dark overtone that permeated Cruel Beauty. One thing I did enjoy about this book is that it is based on the myth of werewolves and the Beast of Gévaudan. My little Teen Wolf heart leapt for joy at this.
I have a friend who is currently reading this, and she loves it, but her brand of book is dark fantasy. So if that is your thing, this is the book for you. Sadly, it wasn't for me.
