BLURB:

Teacher by day, fantasy writer by night, West Caldwell was forced to live in secret long before werewolves and vampires accidentally outed themselves on social media, causing a worldwide freak out. One slip of his rare Omega magic bound Topher Greer to him against his will. Now that magic threatens to fracture even further—just as shapeshifters are being abducted off the streets of Austin, Texas.

Topher Greer, EMT and former prisoner of the most dangerous vampire coven in Texas, is one of the few who can sense the presence of undead blood. He’s been marked for death by the Vampire Nation—who hold his brother hostage. Things with West Caldwell are… complicated. Pack law doesn’t forbid relationships between newly changed werewolves and their sires. But West has more walls around his heart than a high-security vampire prison.

To avoid the coming war and save his brother, Topher will have to turn to the most unlikely of allies—and untangle the feelings between him and West Caldwell for once and for all.

BOUND is part of the Blood Moon, Texas Shifters series. Sizzling hot romance. Guaranteed HEA.

REVIEW:

This is the third book in the Blood Moon series.  I found that you can read this book without reading the other books in the series and not be lost regarding the plot.  Although, I highly recommend reading the entire series, if you haven’t done so.   I loved that this book featured West and Topher, two characters, caring a ton of baggage around.

The worldbuilding in this series is phenomenal.  Texas as a bastion for Werewolves and their Vampire enemies is the perfect background for this series.  The world West and Topher live in is completely relatable.  From careers to personal life choices, I found Kat’s take on this genre to be stellar.  West is an Omega werewolf and is Topher’s sire. But for one moment of uncontrolled magic, they become bound to each other.

I seriously love her characters.  From the side characters to our main characters, each one is fleshed out to the minutest detail without taking away from the plot of the book.  Kat incorporates witty and snarky repartee with the serious nature of West’s fears and Topher’s guilt. Kat has taken the time to let us get to know these characters and to feel the joy and angst they experience along the way.

If you are looking for a great action-packed story this is the book for you.  If you want to know how a mild-mannered teacher/writer falls for the former Vampire prisoner/EMT you need to grab this book and be prepared to spend an entire day, reveling in the action and love story of West and Topher. I look forward to the next offering from Kat.
