BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The first installment in a sexy new paranormal romance series by Larissa Ione, author of the bestselling Demonica series!
A WOMAN OUT FOR BLOOD
Nicole Martin was only eight years old when the vampire slaves rose up in rebellion and killed her family. Now she devotes her life to finding a vaccine against vampirism, hoping to wipe out her memories—along with every bloodsucker on the planet. But there’s one thing she cannot destroy: her searing, undeniable attraction for the one man she should hate and fear the most . . .
A VAMPIRE OUT FOR REVENGE
A member of the renegade vampire MoonBound Clan, Riker is haunted by demons of his own. When he recognizes Nicole and remembers how her family enslaved his loved ones, his heart burns for vengeance. But when he kidnaps Nicole and holds her in a secret lair, his mortal enemy becomes his soul obsession, his greatest temptation, and, perhaps, his only salvation—a hot-blooded lover who could heal him with her touch . . . or bury him forever
KELLY’S REVIEW:
4 Stars Riker & Nicole are from two very different worlds. But one event 20 years ago will forever link them together. But this very same even could be too damaging for them to get over, because Riker & Nicole are going to have to learn to trust each other in order to survive the upcoming battle they are about to face.
Great new series from Larissa. So far I have loved all of Larissa’s books. I can now add Bound by Night to this list.
Bound by Night puts a new twist on the world of vampires. Not only do we have born vampires, but made vampires, demons and all with a native american history twist. I thought this was a great idea. I loved how Larissa incorporated the native american legends.
I will say that this book was not as hot and steamy as Larissa Demonica or Horseman series. I can’t wait to see what Larissa has in store for us next in this series.
KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 Stars I devoured this book. This is the first in a new series by Larissa Ione. I love her Demonica series so I couldn’t wait to read this one and I was not disappointed. The characters of Nicole and Riker are mesmerizing. They have such an interesting relationship with so many ups and downs. There was so much emotion between them that you just want to never stop reading.
There are some interesting things though about this series. One it seems to be almost set in the future even though that is never really said. Everyone in this book knows of the existence of vampires and they have become the slaves of the future (I guess). Two Ione took a lot of liberties with what the vampire can do and can’t do which made the book interesting if not a little different.
I think if you have read a Ione story before you will not be disappointed in this story. The writing is different from her normal works and yet it is so Ione that you will consume it like I did. If you have not read her works before I do think you will love this book (if you like the vampire romance genre) but do not miss her Demonica/Horsemen series. Ione never disappoints!
JENNIFER’S REVIEW:
4 Stars I love Larissa’s books but the first thing that attracted me to Bound by Night was its cover. The cover model is the very handsome Colby Lefebrve and so that’s the image that I had of Riker in my head throughout the entire book. Nicole Martin had suffered a horrible childhood trauma at the hands of vampires which left most of her family dead. Still feeling the effects of that attack twenty years later, Nicole is on a mission to study vampires and use that knowledge to develop a vaccine against them. The thing I loved about Nicole was her determination and inner strength in this book. She lost so much at the hands of vampires but was willing to do anything to help find a cure for her illness. Even when Riker kidnapped her to help negotiate the release of another vampire, she overcame her fears to help him when she learned the true nature of her family’s company.
Riker was haunted by his own demons and spent twenty years blaming Nicole’s family for the loss of his mate. Being with Nicole was his opportunity to exact revenge on the very people that he hated but he learned that Nicole was a victim in all this as well. I liked their chemistry together and I liked how Nicole seemed to be the perfect person that Riker needed to help heal his anger.
I really enjoyed Bound By Night and I liked how Larissa created such a fascinating paranormal world. This book was an action-packed thrill ride and I can’t wait to read the next book and learn more about some of the secondary characters who appeared in Bound By Night.
