First Thought when Finished: Bound by Night is how you start a series! Plenty of character development to go with that world building-I APPROVE!
Story Thoughts: To start with, I put off reading this because I wasn’t sure if I was up for more vampires right now. I love them but lately I have been in a shifter mood. However, this delivered with the kind of action and in-depth storytelling that I have come to expect from Larissa Ione. The romance didn’t really click for me until halfway through but I am guessing that was by design. The story was strong enough that the lack of romantic feel didn’t bother me at all!
Character Thoughts: Nicole & Riker were very similar characters in some ways: had skewed views of each other, had hard lives, and were both brilliant at what they do. I think Nicole was more open than Riker but the slow burn romance helped them work through that. I was impressed that Larissa let the love build while acknowledging the attraction and the lack of wanting that attraction. Side characters (future leads) rocked. I could wax poetic about the next couple but I think I am going to let you experience that on your own 🙂
Final Thoughts: Now I need the second book! 🙂

Okay, now I know for sure. I will buy and read this book before Larissa comes to Berlin, Germany, next year. She was so much fun last year.
This sounds like a great book 🙂 sometimes a slow burn romance can be a good thing! Glad it wrapped up nicely in the end for you 🙂
Great shout out! I too really enjoyed this book and felt the world building was superb. Cannot wait to see where the next one goes!
Definitely started this series off with a bang. Highly enjoyable and I can’t wait for the next one!
