About this ebook
“Dripping with atmosphere and edged with danger, Threads That Bind weaves together a gorgeous dark tapestry of mystery, fated romance, and modern myth. You won’t be able to put this one down.” —Alexandra Bracken, New York Times bestselling author of Lore
In a world where the children of the gods inherit their powers, a descendant of the Greek Fates must solve a series of impossible murders to save her sisters, her soulmate, and her city, for fans of Song of Achilles.
Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.
But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.
The investigation turns personal when Io's estranged oldest sister shows up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players before destruction comes to her own doorstep.

From the very first page we are thrust into a story unlike one I have read before. The concept is unique, and incredibly interesting. I liked the idea so much that I had to know how the story played out. I did find that the beginning of the book lost my interest a few times. The worldbuilding was a bit slow, even though there was a lot to explore. The story kind of sweeps you along as you try to figure out the mystery behind everything. I was surprised by a few of the twists.

This was an intriguing world, where people could be inheritor's of gods' powers (who have long ago disappeared) depending on how many siblings are in the family. Three siblings could be moira born and nine would be the muses. There were many different variations and I thought that made for an interesting setting. Add in the mysterious wraith women and Io trying to get to the bottom of it, along with her fate thread linked Edei, and I dove right in to the story. Lots of great little twists!
