Blood Bound by Renate Rowland

5.0

The book is described as a dark-themed retelling of vampire origin based on Norse Gods in a modern, post-Ragnarǫk setting.
I loveddd the slow burn romance that developed between our two vamps, and it was so cool to have the flashbacks (because he is legit 900+ years old) and to get that Norse mythology aspect. Khan turns Eve into a vampire and serves as her mentor. We get to see their electric chemistry while they realize the depth of their feelings throughout. Since she was turned, Eve has his very powerful blood within him which puts her into the crosshairs of others who are now hunting her. It’s a grumpy/sunshine situation as well as age gap, which, who doesn’t love both of those tropes?
I loved this book and will absolutely be reading Books 2 and 3
