Blood Bond
Author: Heather Hildenbrand
YA Book
(Amy's Review)
5 out of 5 Stars
Synopsis
Hybrids.
If I had to choose one word to sum up all of my problems, this would be it.
Without hybrids, I wouldn’t have to watch my best friend slowly becoming a monster. Without hybrids, I could let go of the mentality “hunt or be hunted.” CHAS wouldn’t be scouring the Earth, intent on slaughtering and using Alex to do it. Without hybrids, I wouldn’t have to be on guard that losing my temper meant losing my shape. There would be no monster inside me, struggling to get out.
Then again, without hybrids, I wouldn’t have Wesley St. John.
The long awaited book #3 of Heather Hildenbrand's Dirty Blood series couldn't get here soon enough. After having left us hanging at the end of book #2 "Cold Blood", "Blood Bond" picks up right where we left off. Heather has done some unique and fascinating writing with this book. She has completely changed her writing style from the first two books adding much more drama, action and intensity to her story. Just when you think you see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope arising, Heather drops a bomb and it becomes a brand new game. I truly thought in the beginning that I had it all figured out with this series, where the characters would go, how the story would end...but boy was I wrong. Since Heather branched off from the Dirty Blood series earlier in the year and wrote the passionate story of Whisper, I have seen her writing change. She has added such passion, creativity, and a uniqueness to her story that none other has. You can tell with her writing that Heather truly enjoys what she does, and gives the reader what they want...A fantastic story. You walk away from it feeling like you have gained friends for life from her stories. There are good reads and then there are great reads that leave you holding your breath at the end, that is what Heather writes, the great ones. I am so happy Heather has given me the opportunity to read her writings, she is one of the great ones to follow. Enjoy!
I haven't read this series, but your review has made me go and add the first one. I'm glad that this one surpassed your expectations and kept you going. It's great to hear that her writing has developed and become even more enjoyable and memorable. Wonderful review, Amy! :)
