The Blood That Binds Us by Erin Mainord

3.0

Thank you to Book of Matches Media and Erin Mainord for providing me with a digital copy of this book. This is my honest review.
-
“She is the wielder of blood magic, and she may end them all.”
-
On the lookout for a dark fantasy romance? The Blood That Binds Us may be for you!
-
The world in this book was the hook for me. It’s what initially drew me and what kept me reading. We’ve seen some of these fantasy elements in other books, but Mainord succeeds at making them her own.
-
Though this book does take a while to amp up, it moves pretty quickly once it does. Pacing and structure wise, it felt very similar to what I’ve read of the Plated Prisoner series so far. The beginning and end of the book differ tonally and the last few chapters of this book really stick the landing.
-
Although I personally struggled with connecting with Wren and Sin individually, I’m more than positive that others will absolutely adore them. I think Wren will be a force to be reckoned with when she fully steps into her identity.

If you’re looking for a fantasy romance with darker themes, then the Blood That Binds Us may be for you!
