Blood Bound (Unbound Novel)
I actually really enjoyed this UF story. It's a little odd
to get into the story but when you do, it's quite entertaining in a whodunit
with a paranormal twist kind of way. The premise is basically that there are
regular old humans with special skills like traveling though shadows, tracking
people through blood or names or seeing into the future. The first book in the
series, Blood Bound is about star crossed lovers, being blood bound to mafia
type guys (east and west) and finding missing or lost children. The title of
this book, Blood Bound, is what I'm guessing is going to be the main theme
throughout the series. In this world of people with "skills", there
are also people who's talent is binding, no not BDSM but in contacts. In our
normal mundane world, we try to make contacts as "iron-clad" as
possible but as the characters pointed out, there's always loop holes. In this
world, you can enter into a blood contact wherein you promise something then
through mysticism you are tattooed with blood from both parties along with ink.
When the contract is fulfilled the tattoo becomes "dead" so to speak,
along with the contract. So as you can imagine, people in this world with
"skills" protect their blood at all costs like burning used Band-Aids
in trash cans because their blood can do more than just be biological waste, it
can lead the baddies to you and/or bind you. I know, my head hurts too.
So back to the story. In this one, because it's UF, we don't have our HEA but we do have
star-crossed lovers. Our heroine is Liv Warren. She has "skills" and
is a blood tracker. She can find anyone with just a drop of their blood. Her
sweetie is Cam Caball. They were on the verge of a HEA when Liv decided to
break it off suddenly. Six years later Liv is approached by an old friend to
find her missing daughter and working with her ex is part of the deal because Cam can trace
people by having their full given name. "Oh what a tangled web we weave,
when we first practice to deceive". Liv has secrets, Cam has secrets, even
the old friend Ann has secrets.
If you like UF and realize that you're not going to get a
HEA, I'd suggest this book. I enjoyed it on audiobook and immediately went to
the second book in the series. It seems, so far the second book picks right up
where the first left off, so I'd suggest getting them both.
