Book: Blood of the Bound - An Enemies to Lovers Romantic Fantasy by Annabelle Mccormack
Reviewed by Puzzledbooknerd
Rating: 5/5
First off, wow! I really didn't know what to expect going into this ARC, but Annabelle completely delivered. Everything I loved from the first book was in this book as well, plus she added a dash of, "Bet you didn't see that coming!"
The relationship between Seren and Rykr and where it would go after the ending of Carved in Crimson was what I was most excited to get back to. It was all there and this story did well exploring all the intricacies from the grief, exhaustion, and fear to the deep love that still binds them.
There were so many things they had to face that I was constantly on the edge of my seat gathering clues and itching to see what happened next. This plot was plotting for sure! From new creatures, inner changes, unknown magic, and enemies everywhere, I was sat for this story.
The court politics were super interesting, too. It's safe to say there are some new characters I hope get the ending they deserve, and it's not happy! I also loved some of the new characters and getting to know old ones even better. The ending has me spinning, though! I thought the last ending was crazy, boy was I wrong. Annabelle left me flabbergasted again!
If you want courtly intrigue, blood oaths, strange creatures, slow burn romance, angst, strong women, book boyfriend MMC'S, and a delightfully twisted ride then pick up this series! I am so glad I was able to read an ARC and review Blood of the Bound.
