Tethered: Book One of The Binding Chronicles
by Elayna R. Gallea
About this book
Sold into an arranged marriage to the lethal Prince of Darkness, Luna expects a life of cruelty and cold isolation. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a volatile dance with Prince Sebastian, a vampire forced to marry a mortal he never wanted. Bound by the ancient magic of their wedding ceremony, the two are physically tethered, unable to drift more than thirty feet apart. What begins as a strategic alliance quickly spirals into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, where every shared breath forces them to confront the humanity they both thought was lost.
This gothic romantasy is a masterclass in the enemies-to-lovers trope, fueling a slow-burn tension that crackles with forbidden desire. As political betrayals threaten their kingdoms and war looms on the horizon, Luna and Sebastian must navigate the treacherous line between duty and obsession. Their forced proximity transforms from a curse into a catalyst for an impossible romance that defies the very laws of their world.
Fans of dark, high-stakes paranormal romance will find themselves swept away by this tale of supernatural royalty and soul-binding magic. Prepare to be haunted by a love story where the greatest risk is surrendering to the one person you were meant to hate.

I really wanted to love this book, but it was lacking real depth. It was a great surface story. Great plot, characters, and mystery, but it all skimmed the surface. The main characters' feelings just changed, but there was no episode or reason why. If the binding was the reason, that is fine, but we needed to be shown that. The FMC is brilliant, but let's her husband starve for over a month? Where was the reason? Scared, disgusted, angry? She is so inquisitive, but not with this? She can't...

The plot seemed interesting and enjoyable. Enjoyed the dark brooding shadow daddy vampire but struggled with the female lead. She was just to out of it. With everything going on around her in the vampire world she was to far removed and oblivious. ) 2 people found this helpful
