BONDS REVIEW

About the book:

Half the village of Breccan lies dead – slaughtered. All that stands between Antony Cardover and his freedom is his wife, Isabella, or so he believes.

In his wrath at his wife’s adultery, Antony trades his soul for the chance of vengeance. His price? An eternity as a monster – a man bearing a vampire curse. To stop him, the curse must be broken. To break the curse, Isabella and all her descendants must be destroyed. The catch? Only Antony can break the curse.

With Breccan in mourning and Antony on the rampage, only one person can help. Anna Martindale, a witch shunned by the villagers, entombs Antony within a stone sarcophagus, bound by spells and buried in hallowed ground for the rest of time.

Breccan breathes again. Time heals.

That was four hundred years ago.

Seventeenth century spells, however, are no match for twenty first century living. As Ramply Homes moves in, the secret of St Martin’s churchyard prepares to move out.

As the church is desecrated, the spells that hold Antony break. Soon, Becca Martin, a descendant of Isabella, is plagued by dreams of a time and a man she cannot possibly have known.

As her nightmares become real, Becca has no choice but to contact the one person who will be able to help; someone she has not spoken to in a decade – her mother.

Here, Becca discovers the truth about her ancestry and is forced to face up to whom and what she is. Only a wooden box and her gift hold the key to her survival.

Four hundred years ago Antony failed. He will not fail again

My Review: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I received a free copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The fact that this book was given to me for free in no way affects my opinion of the book.

When I read about the book I felt like I had to read it. Once I started reading it life seemed to get in the way, but not for long. The book called to me every time I got the chance to read.

I felt a deep connection to the characters, because they were built so well. Their looks, and their personality were extremely easy to connect with. This is one of the things that made this book so good to me. I like to be able to get to know, and connect with the characters, and to feel what they feel. This book did exactly that, and that kept me hooked.

This book kept me up tonight, because I just couldn't go another day without finishing the book. Not finishing it drove me nuts, because the book was so well written. I mean magic, and when I say magic it actually seems so real. You get a double take from the past so that you don't miss any part of the story. I never once had any confusion with this book. The story was complete in every way. The author made sure you didn't wonder; "well how did this happen?" Which was great, because that means you got every bit of the story that you needed to make sure you aren't missing a thing.

Because of certain violent, and mature situations I would recommend this book to adults.
