4 Stars!!!
Blood Bound is
the second book in the series House
Millar. I have to say that I liked this book much better than its
predecessor. Everything just seemed
to mesh much better. The characters found themselves and fell into their lives
in a more comfortable manner. The writing, while still formal, seemed to flow
at a better pace and didn’t seem so stiff. It fit the characters. And the
characters…wow. Áine
added so many more wonderful characters.
Anya has so much going on in Blood Bound, by the end, I found myself
hoping she would get some time to simply enjoy her boys and this wonderful new
life she has made for herself and others. She is forced to spend much of this
book establishing House Millar among the council and establishing her presence
among the other Houses. And…does she ever make her presence known. Each time
Anya, Declan, and Nicholas would go to a council meeting or other activity, I
pictured Anya in front, flanked by two extremely sexy guys dressed in black
leather…talk about hot. I would almost have wanted to trade places with her…except
her life seems much too complicated for me. Like I said…she deserves some fun.
The chemistry between Anya,
Declan, and Nicholas was still amazing, yet things were often stressed. Poor
Nicholas…I just can’t understand the boy. He loves both Anya and Declan more
than anyone in the world, but the minute anyone new steps into the picture…her
freaks. Completely jealous…without cause. Declan is still Declan – kind,
supportive, laid-back, and just lets things happen as they will. No stress…I
would think as a guardian and a college student, he would be the one constantly
uptight and worried. Nope, not Declan.
Speaking of new…Áine brought a whole slew of new characters to the
table. Both questionably good and positively bad. I think my favorite is Jason, a deaf vampire.
Who knew, right? At first he seemed completely creepy but then he was much more
fun and flirtatious. His role at House Millar is unique and important. Of
course Anya welcomed him with open arms as she does everyone. I think the rest
of the House is going to have to start trusting her opinion…she seems to have a
good head on her shoulders.
The other new “thing”
introduced in Blood Bound is a new
relationship between Louie and…well, let’s just say someone in the House. This
was a unique take on any relationship and made me so happy.
Áine
gave me even more reasons than ever to love her strong and charismatic cast of
characters. Each stepped up their game in the newest book. I will be looking
forward to the next installment of House Millar, which I understand will not be
from Anya’s point of view. Sounds interesting.
If you love a good vampire
story…Blood’s Voice and Blood Bound are great choices.
I'm not going to give any favorite quotes this time; because, the copy of Blood Bound I read was completely unedited and what I might quote might not even make the cut.
*I was given a complimentary uncorrected e-book by the author in return for my honest review.
