Crimson Bond: A Young Adult Dystopian Vampire Paranormal Romance

I have loved all of her books so far in both this series and the Hidden series. For this book, I only deducted one star because the beginning of the book is very repetitive. It rehashes what happened at the end of the last book, but through a different character's perspective. I felt like it went on a little too long and just wanted to get into the new parts of the story. Once the rest of the story started, it was amazing as usual. It ends on a cliffhanger, so I can't wait to read the next book.

Bloodyhell!! My mind is still spinning from what I just finished reading. I kept filling the pages to find out that I indeed did finish the story! From the beginning this book was intense and angsty. Literally on the end of my seat while reading. The heroin at times forgets that she is capable of many wonderful things but I’m hoping she now realizes she is very capable. I enjoy the unique take of vampirism and I can’t wait to see what happens next in Bastion. Patiently awaiting for Crimson Crown.

So, book three in the Crimson Accord series; and it is all I expected and more. Hold on to your hats folks. Once again I was drawn in from the first sentence, couldn’t wait to get to the end and then disappointed to have finished. The main protagonists Abbi and Reece obviously take centre stage as they continue to struggle with the forbidden love they feel for each other. Imogen and the Crimson Court, Kannon and some characters from Crimson Storm reappear in this book. This story has it all, jealousy, repressed love and lust, evil machinations and political intrigue. Told first person narrative of Abbi and Reece gives a great insight into the thoughts and feelings of Reece too. I highly recommend reading Crimson Born and Crimson Storm before this one, as the first sets the scene with all the world building and each book seamlessly leads onto the next. I confess that I am reading the second book after this one and you can pick up the gist of the story and enjoy it without reading Book 2, but reading them in order is better. After the destruction of the HVC head quarters and Abbi’s escape from the Safety Centre, she has nowhere else to go but back to the Crimson Court, the ever evil Vampire Queen Imogen and Reece. To save Abbi from Imogen’s wrath Reece convinces the queen to send her with him on a mission to find Sadie. Sadie is the leader of the Human-Vampire-Peace –Coalition and currently in hiding and also Imogen’s sister. There follows a road trip, where sparks fly ... and after some twists and turns this book comes to breathtaking conclusion which leaves us waiting in anxious anticipation for the romantic adventure to continue. I had the pleasure of receiving this book as an advance reader copy from the author and am leaving this review of my own volition.
