Review – The Bonds That Break Us by: Erin Mainord

She wants revenge.
He wants her.

After learning of Sin’s dark deceptions, Wren travels to The Feral Vale where she is introduced to the rustic land of the elves. She vows to protect her family at all expense, even if that means keeping the Black Art’s treacherous secret.

When a realm divided draws the unwanted attention of a neighboring king, Wren and the elves must resort to clever schemes to gain leverage in the impending war. Wren and her family are determined to lay low—a challenging feat when the entire kingdom guard is searching for the “white-haired witch.” She longs to forget the betrayal that drove her here, more so, she longs to forget him, but when circumstance thrusts them together, the result is nothing short of incendiary.

As motives come to light, Wren isn’t sure who she can rely on, but one fact becomes startling, and infuriatingly, clear: Wren and Sin must combine forces if any of them has a hope to survive the disconcerting conflict ahead. With past hurts challenging them at every step, the road ahead is punishing.

War is brutal, but nothing is more maiming than furious love.

Erin did not let us down in the slightest! The Bonds That Break Us is bloodier, sexier, and just everything you could have wanted in a sequel. Erin has me in a chokehold with this series and these characters.

A feast of sexy men… CHECK. ✅ (Also PSA: Vox is mine.)

Blood and death… CHECK. ✅

My heart dying but also slowly rebuilding itself back together… CHECK. ✅

Needing new panties… oh yeah CHECK CHECK CHECK. ✅✅✅

Read this book. Start with book one if you haven’t, then READ THIS BOOK. You will not be disappointed in the slightest. Erin is just a gem of her craft. On each page, she weaves gorgeously and intensely to make you fall in love even more. Getting to book three and having to leave these characters will surely tear my heart out a little, but I cannot wait.

– 5 out of 5 splatters –

Thank you to Erin Mainord for an eARC of the book.
