A super fast paced read. It dives straight in to the action, while building a solid picture of who Yasmine is. Kalta bursts into her life and brings a reckless energy that may turn Yasmine's world on its head. Werewolf meets Witch mate, while they both battle with their own demons and learn how to lean on one another. 
They both have to face who they are and decide who they want to be. 
It's a sweet romance.
I had some issues with the plot. I wasn't sure on how much time passed at one point. From Yasmine's pov it seemed like it had been days or weeks, yet from Kalta's it was only a day or two. It seemed inconsistent in places. I am wondering if this was on purpose though, as it could definitely play into how lost and disjointed Yasmine was. 
Kalta was a lot. She seemed very over the top and i had a hard time liking her. After thinking about it though I realised 1. I don't need to like everyone. 2. She has some amazing character growth and if she didn't start out a little over the top and a little shady, we may have missed that.

Overall an easy read, a sweet romance with two women finding their place in the world. I loved the magic and the red wolf history. I really liked the way Yasmine began to understand her mum and cousin by the end. 

Trigger warning: mentions an eating disorder and binging, plus self harm.

I love a romance with a serial killer in it. When both of the main characters are serial killers, i will elbow anyone in the face to get the book into my hands. Luckily for the world I could just get it on my kindle. No elbowing needed.

Unholy bonds had so many of my favourite things in it:
* Gentle stalking
* He falls first
* Blood play
* a kickass female MC who plays the MMC like a fiddle
* RYDEN SINCLAIR (He is now mine and I can't share)

This was well written, great supporting cast, lots of twists and turns and I couldn't predict what would happen next. There was subtle spice and sexy blood play which is almost my favourite thing ever.

Perfect for those who love a true crime podcast, found family and touch her and die vibes.

I'm currently trying to catch up on some reviews and I can't remember a single thing about this book. I read the synopsis and I have zero idea. I gave it a 2.75 just after I read it.

This could have been really good, but I had just read an amazing fantasy book and I may have to avoid the genre for a while.

Super character driven, fascinating magic and well written. Slow burn, complicated relationships and quite a few twists and turns. 

When I can read fantasy again, I'll be diving back into this series.
