I am SHOOKETH!
I knew there would be betrayal in this book but it still HURTS!
But also, Oli bonded with two more of her Bonds so really can I ask for anything more?
I’m STILL waiting for more information on Nox because I know he’s the most complicated Bond, but I’m dying to know and for him to get the love he deserves. I think he and Oli are perfect for each other they just haven’t figured it out yet.
Current Bong Ranking:
1. North
2. Gryphon
3. Atlas
4. Gabe
5. Nox
WOW North really flew to the top in this one. Unfortunately that means Gabe has dropped to fourth and he does not belong there but I don’t know what else to do! Honestly we’re at the point I can barely pick favorites anymore.

Okay okay YES! This is what I was hoping for when I picked up the first book. A bunch of hot sexy men worshipping our MC.
Also the plot is really picking up outside of the romance. I’m super intrigued about the bond tampering going on with the resistance and that ending!! I’m so excited about the cliffhangers in this series. It’s so good.
I’m obsessed with Brutus and August, my little puppy nightmares.
New ranking right now:

For some reason I enjoyed this book.
The writing is not challaneging and is pretty basic but there is just something addictive about the characters and plot that I’m here for.
Ranking the Bonds for now:
1. Atlas
2. Gryphon
3. Gabe
4. North (just a dick rn)
5. Nox (he has a lot to make up for)

I originally read this book in its first draft on wattpad and I loved it. When I saw the author had self-published I HAD to buy and support her and of course I had to read it all again!
I love Jake and Alex. I think Alex is sexy, and elegant and intelligent (when she wants to be) and Jake is sexy, and dark and emotional (when he wants to be).
I will say I remembered this book having a bit more of the “mafia” plot to it, although I’m not sure if that’s the right word for it. However, apart from the prologue and the epilogue there is no real insight into Jake’s job or “business”. Alex doesn’t really get involved in it and since this is from her perspective I suppose it makes sense it doesn’t really come up much. Still I do wish there was little more action.
As for the another type of “action”… oh boy there is PLENTY of that. I’m stark contrast I honestly did not remember this book being SO spicy! There is a lot of spice. I love some good spice, but I’m excited for the next book because I think that one will have more growth for Alex and Jake’s relationship outside the bedroom.
Overall I absolutely enjoyed this read! I would recommend to those who like spice, romance, bad boys, but I would not call this “dark romance” these days and I mean that as a compliment because while there is some violence mentioned there is very little scene. And Jake never hurts Alex or threatens to hurt her at all. Thank god. He loves her because he’s a smushy lil puppy for her on the inside.

So so much fun! I had a great time reading this. I read it on wattpad a few years ago and when I saw the author was now and Indie author I had to buy it and support!
I love Cooper and Hayley. They are SO cute together and Cooper is such a good guy.
There were some high stakes in this book they actually are over about half way through the boom but I enjoyed the second half waiting for them to fully commit to each other.
This book is a 5 star wattpad read but a 3 star on Amazon. I loved it, but there were quiet a spelling and formatting errors, but I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a shifter romance!

This was the book that got me into reading when I was younger. I have no doubt it was the beginning of the fantasy obsession that would come to be in the future. I found it a few weeks ago and I’m a moment of wondering what I should read next I just picked it up.
I loved it. I hope one day to read it to my daughter and that she may love it as much as I do.

I am blown away by this book. I loved the first book and I have a feeling that it could only get better from there but my expectations were even surprised by Vow of Thieves.
This book is literally everything I have ever wanted in a book. I was gasp and grasping at every turn. I could not predict the next page for the life of me and I loved every heart stopping, breath taking, pulse pounding moment of it. I am salivating over it!
The romance. Jase and Kazi are my LOVES. I adore them so much. They went through a lot together and they deserve happiness. Jase is a brave, protective, loving, loyal man. Kazi is fierce and driven and yet tender and loving too. I just worship both of them together.
The villain in this story was pretty good. I hated him. So… mission accomplished I guess haha
But the STAKES WERE SO HIGH! Lives, towns, secrets, the UNIVERSE was a stake here! 24/7. There was barely a moment in this book that something incredible wasn’t going down. I am obsessed.
I’m a big fan of setting the scene and descriptions so I loved this writing style. It was also full heart and emotions.
A new all time favorite for me. I wish I’d read it soon and yet I wish I could read it from the beginning for the first time again. Either way had to stay up till 2:35 am to finish it :)

I loved this book. I have been CRAVING this book and I didn’t even know it.
This book has everything I love. Action, world building, side characters that I care about. But most importantly, it has enemies to lovers that literally burn for each other!
Kazi is badass. I love her. She’s smart and tricky and passionate and KIND. Jase is all of things too and they get along so well.
I finally had that literal tension in my chest waiting for what was to come next. I’m so excited to read the next book!

I am astounded by how much better this book was than the first one. I feel like the author’s writing improved so much.
Additionally the plot and characters grew so much in this one. I felt like they were much more developed and I cared about them more as a result.
I didn’t think I’d continue this series after this book but I think I might now!

Solid three stars because my toxic trait is reading mafia books. I don’t think this is the best one I read but it’s not the worst either.
I honestly feel like I barely know the characters after reading almost 400 pages. Additionally, there was barely any dialogue, not even between the main couple outside of threatening each other. The only way they conversed was through a few thinly veiled text messages.
The whole book I knew that whatever Tristain’s reason was for hating her had to be out of her control and nothing would be enough to justify it for me. I was right. Except my surprise came from Morana also realizing that. That final show down between the two of them was the best scene and I was so glad she did it.
I think the second book will really build on their relationship. I hope it improves and that the writing improves with it.
I will also admit that I started this series so I could read Dante and Amara’s story because I saw some snippets that intrigued me. Still holding out for that one.
