Synopsis curtesy of Goodreads:
By blood, by word, by magic...
Most can't touch the power. But Liv Warren is special – a paranormal tracker who follows the scent of blood.
Liv makes her own rules, and the most important one is trust no one.
But when her friend's daughter goes missing, Liv has no choice but to find the girl. Thanks to a childhood oath, Liv can't rest until the child is home safe. But that means trusting Cam Caballero, the former lover forbidden to her.
Bound by oath and lost in desire for a man she cannot have, Liv is racing to save the child from a dark criminal underworld where secrets, lies, trauma and danger lurk around every corner...every touch...every kiss.
And more blood will be spilled before it's over...
My Review:
When can I get the next one? Seriously, this was an AMAZING start to a new trilogy. Rachel is definitely honing her craft. BLOOD BOUND made me fall in love with Rachel's writing all over again.
The world of BLOOD BOUND is much different from the SHIFTER series. It's set against an urban landscape and narrated between the duel voices of Cam and Liv. Cam is definitely a swoon worthy hero and a perfect counter point to the kick-ass heroine, Liv.
The action is non-stop with this novel and the world is unlike any other I've read in the urban fantasy genre. The action and somewhat muted romance will keep you turning pages til you reach the end. Then, all you'll want is MORE!
So thank you Rachel for this amazing story and I canNOT wait to read the next one!
