Eeli~
I’ve been training my entire life for this; I need to be the best, the best fighter, the best dragon rider in the entire brotherhood. This is what I was born for. The only problem is that my bonded dragon, Bodhi, and I can’t seem to get it together. One minute I think we’re connecting properly, and the next she’s taking off, leading me to the one guy I don’t want to know: Slash. He’s basically the opposite of me in every way, and I don’t get why he’s suddenly everywhere I turn, but I can’t deny how he makes me feel when he looks at me.
Slash~
Three years ago my sister and I had to come to a new town and started new schools without our parents’ unconditional love and support. My uncle’s an uncaring drunk, so I’m doing the best I can to keep us both clothed and fed with only an after school job. If I didn’t have her to live for, the loneliness would be excruciating. Now, with only a few months until graduation, I’ve suddenly made a friend because of my sister, and another guy keeps stumbling into me who I think needs help: Eeli. I don’t understand why no one else sees how oddly he’s behaving, but I can’t deny my attraction for him is growing with every mishap.
Eeli is the third book in The Brotherhood of Ormarr series. While each book focuses on a different couple, the overall story arc continues in the next installment. For maximum enjoyment, we suggest reading in order. Eeli is a m/m NA romance, and is recommended for adults 18 years and older.
REVIEW:
This is officially my favorite. I loved little Eeli from the beginning and showing how much strength he has in this book, in the face of so much. I’m just so proud of him too. He’s just so special. And he’s so shy to a point, but so fierce. So not sure of himself most of the time, but will still defend all he loves to the death. I just love him so.
Eeli has never had much in the way of friends. It’s hard for him to reach out. Plus, between all the studying he does and the training with his brothers and Bodhi, especially now that they’re bonded, he doesn’t have much time for anything else. But something lately is bothering him about a boy at school. He never thought himself interested in Slash, but every time he looks in Slash’s eyes, he’s enraptured and can’t look away. He can’t figure out why. And Bodhi is making him look like an idiot as he’s wiggling like crazy trying to keep her contained. But one day she finally really gets loose and corners Slash, freaking him out. And Eeli finally figured out why. Now they are having to ‘kidnap’ Slash and his sister to keep their secret safe. But what they are about to learn, is their pasts have them connected in ways no one expected. And fate has found a way to keep things going the way they were supposed to. It’s said that it took murder to get to where they are but they are doing their best to hang in the best they can. After another kidnapping attempt, made on the wrong person, Eeli is fierce in protecting what is his, and the brothers know it’s time to finally find the truth, no matter what it takes.
Eeli really is just so special. And this book is so special in itself. When you read the connections, and how Slash’s little sister figures it all out, it just makes everything click into place. It doesn’t mean it’s not still sad. Grief never really goes away, especially when the family you had was perfect. And also, with the way they died. But little did Slash and his sister realize at the time how special their lives were as well. And now, they’re finding out. They’ve also found something again, they never thought they’d have. A family that cares. It may not be blood, but it’s still held together by love and support and all the things a family should have. And even more, they have a chance at a real life again.
I cried all through this book. It’s so so good. If you haven’t read these books, you are missing out. I can’t wait to see how it ends. Although I have to admit I will be a little sad when it’s over.
