Review:
Bound to You by Alyssa Brandon is a NA paranormal romance and
introduces readers to an urban fantasy world of supernatural creatures,
undeniable attraction and swoon worthy romance.
Eighteen
year old Megan Ross has waited her whole life to find her mate. The
daughter of an alpha, Megan knows exactly what she wants and the
werewolf she meets on the beach at a party is definitely not what she
always envisioned. Brooding and cold, James is the leader of a legendary
tier of warrior werewolves tasked with protecting the werewolves from
their natural enemies; creatures known as wraiths. Moving from her
family’s home to her new pack’s compound in Canada, Megan wants nothing
more than to connect with James, yet he continually tries to push her
away. Haunted by his past and determined to keep Megan at arm’s length,
James’s actions may be the thing that keeps Megan and him finding true
happiness. The attraction and bond between them is undeniable, but will
Megan be able to convince James to give their relationship a shot? Or
was there never a chance to begin with?
I’m going to be
honest; in a lot of ways Bound to You reads like fanfiction. Well
written, deeply enjoyable fanfiction, but fanfiction none-the-less. And
yet, gosh, there was something about Bound to You I really
found myself enjoying. Unfolding primarily through Megan’s POV as well
as the occasional chapter from James, Bound to You introduces readers to
a world of werewolf packs and a century’s old war between them and
their enemies, wraiths as well as a romance with a reluctant male lead
and a determined heroine.
Bound to You centres around
Megan who has finally found her mate in the form of surly and reluctant
James, who, even though he can’t help but desire her, isn’t too happy
about finding his other half. I must admit, I find myself intrigued by
the world introduced by Alyssa Brandon; more than I thought I would when
the story first began. The concept surrounding James and his fellow
pack members is interesting and I genuinely liked them all. Living in a
barren and empty manor, I enjoyed seeing these warrior wolves loosen up
and connect as Megan made attempts to bring them together.
The
relationship between Megan and James plays a large part in the story
and I thought they had a decent connection. The attraction and chemistry
was there and considering the idea of mates and what finding a mate
entails, I appreciated seeing Megan and James get to know each other
throughout the story. I think this made it all that more satisfying when
they eventually began to find a rhythm together.
As I
previously mentioned, I was intrigued by many of James’s pack and am
keen to see if Brandon will writes novels featuring the other
characters. Lucy especially has been set up to feature some kind of
painful history that I’m sure could transfer over into further storyline
arcs. Either way I’ll be keeping an eye out to see what Alyssa Brandon
does with this series next.
