My review
4/5 Stars
Gwen in as elemental witch. Lewis is her familiar. He’s always been there for her, watching over her with a love that they could never quite let flourish at the risk of their bond. After the brutal death of her grandparents, Gwen goes on a search to find who did it and why. The closer to answers she gets, the farther away her familiar becomes. Back in the home that once belonged to her grandmother, Gwen meets Sebastian, a family friend. Helping her to develop the powers that Lewis has worked to keep locked away, he battles with his feelings for Gwen just the way she battles with her feelings of what he is. Caught in a desperate race to find her grandparents killer before he finds her, Blessedly Bound is a page turning addictive novel that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. Best part of this series is that it’s eight books long. Will be reading the next one!
