My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So she leaves the safety of home and sets off alone but customs have changed and technology has changed way past anything she can understand. The war has changed and their enemy the Synestryn are winning and so she is needed in battle, but is she prepared to lose her freedom to help? After many have failed, Morgan Valens is tasked with bringing her home no matter what it takes. What he doesn't expect is an intense desire for her. After a prediction and Serena and Morgan find a way to overcome the past and work together as failure means losing each other as well as their people losing daylight forever.

This was a great story that was full of drama, twists and turns as each of them fought their own demons as well as those they needed to fight together. At the centre of all of that they found and understanding trust in each other that went deeply to their core. Well told everything was very clear and easy to understand and empathise with. Very enjoyable and a great continuation of the series.

Review: Blood Bond by Shannon K. Butcher 5 of 5 stars

Blood Bond by Shannon K. Butcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Justice woke up 10 years ago naked and with no idea who or what she was. Since then she is a sort of prisoner following a compulsion across the country doing whatever she is made to - both good and bad. Ronan is a Sanguinar and has to find the blood left behind by an ancient magical race or else he will stave to death. Justice saved his live weeks ago and he has craved and dreamed about her ever since. Evil is closing in on the Sentinels and their stronghold - can Ronan get Justice's trust, free her and save the stronghold?

I loved this story which had the right level of drama, action, sensitive moments and serious plot. I loved the complex layers in the relationships between Justice, Ronan and even the compulsion that drives Justice. They all had unique features and nuances. Well written it was easy to understand and empathise with the characters (both the good ones and the bad ones). I think you can read this story even if you have never read a story in the series.
