Blood Bound’s First Reviews
A week today, Blood Bound will be yours!
With only seven days to go, review copies are now available on NetGalley. And I’m beyond thrilled (and somewhat relieved) to have received two wonderful reviews already – both 5 stars!
Thank you SO much to Fiona’s Book Reviews for your glowing review! (And huge congrats for breaking your previous record – this time managing to read and review a Blackthorn book in under 24 hours!)
I usually only post a snippet but, as I can’t link back to NetGalley, I’m posting Fiona’s full review instead. Don’t worry – there are no spoilers.
“Oh my goodness what have I just read? I only downloaded this book earlier today and have just lain awake finishing it. Once again I was totally absorbed in the story and wasn’t willing to put it down until I finished.
This is part of a series which MUST be read in order. It is my all time favourite series ever and will no doubt remain in that top spot even when it is finished. This being the penultimate book that obviously means I need to brace myself for how I will feel when the next book comes out! I’m not ready, not by a long shot. But after reading this I know that the final part of this amazing series is going to be nothing short of spectacular!
Jessie and Eden are a brilliant couple. Only knowing each other for a short time, the depth of their feelings for each other seems unbreakable. Unfortunately, Jessie’s past comes back to haunt her in a way which threatens everything they have ever known, not only their relationship. The depths that someone from her past will go to in order to have their own way will shock you. What happens next is not going to be easy to survive, emotions are extremely high and finding a way forward far more difficult than anyone could imagine.
There are so many characters in the background throughout this story, many who fans of this series have come to love, but some who we have come to hate also raise their ugly heads. As always the characters stay true to themselves throughout, and the story goes at such a pace I dare you to put the book down once you have started reading.
Absolutely brilliant story, amazing series and as much as I hate to say this, I can’t wait for the final part to come my way.”
And a HUGE thank you too to Passionate About Books for your ten five star review! You can read Tracie’s full and fabulous review here, but here’s a snippet:
“Lindsay J Pryor has triumphed with this latest instalment of her wonderful series. The emotion has been ramped up to such an extent, there were times I could barely force myself to read on. If you’ve not yet found Blackthorn, let me be clear; this is not some ‘normal’ PNR series where the hero and heroine meet fall in love and eventually live happily ever after.
Some of the scenes in Blood Bound made for very difficult reading, especially when you are so invested in the characters. Once or twice, I found myself gasping out loud at the twist and turns, and I spent a large proportion of the novel in disbelief and fear. For those fans of ‘Friends’, I almost wanted to take Joey Tribbiani’s lead and put the book in the freezer, like he used to do when he got scared reading ‘The Shining’, but I didn’t think my kindle would survive the cold!
Blood Bound is a dark, disturbing, enthralling, breathtaking and downright genius piece of writing.
I bow to Ms Pryor for what she has achieved here. If I could give this book ten stars, I would.
Hang onto your hats folks; you’re in for a bumpy ride.”
Here’s hoping you enjoy it just as much! Well, if that’s the right way to put it. Not long now! xxx
