Binds is a very interesting take on Urban Fantasy! It was action packed from the very beginning and kept me enthralled the whole time. It wasn't long enough.. seriously! I wanted to know more about this world that that it was based in. I guess thats where the Urban comes from, but there were a lot of current references while the world around was kinda crazy. I love/hate the triangle between Phee, Spencer and Reece.. it's just, I don't know who I'd pick (usually I can pick a side).

Cover and Writing
I actually really love the cover! After reading the book, you truly come to realize its significance. The writing was good, though there were some humorous parts that seemed pushed. All-in-all I liked her writing and though it was great for a Debut!!

Main Character
I really like Ophelia! She is a normal girl (kind of), with normal feelings (non-whiny), and normal fears! She is snarky and strong, yet weak and imperfect. I love the fact that she was so very brave in her adult life and never gave up when times got tough! Her life is taking on a more intriguing storyline and I can't wait to see what happens!

Swoonworthy points: 6
Okay, there were some swoony parts, though not as many as I would like. Here's an awesome swoon from the book:

I should be fighting this. I know I don't want this. There was someone that I was supposed to remember, but at this moment, it all goes to the wayside because I am lost in this kiss. His soft lips contrast with the urgency I feel from him. It's as if it is the last moment of the last second of the last everything before the end of the world and we are both trying to make it count.

Overall
I really liked this and can't wait to continue the story, it ended well but with lots of intrigue!… (mehr)
