But even the strongest bonds require sacrifice.
Stas and Issac broke all the rules--and it's time to face the consequences. A necessary surrender leads to devastation, forcing Stas to choose between her heart and her future.
Will Issac remain by her side, or are they destined for different paths?
As word of an awakening power spreads, the immortal treaty shatters, and a looming battle of wills threatens to destroy everything in its wake.
The war has begun.
And death will reign.
Until an angel rises from the flames of destruction...
-- My Two Cents (4 stars) --
Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. Heart... breaking!
That's what this story was. Stas and Issac were doomed. One drop of her blood could kill him and yet their love... their sweet, sweet love just couldn't die. Although the readers knew the truth, that these two were destined for an eternal life together, they didn't know it.
So here's what I knew going in:
❥ Stas was a seraphim whose memories were altered to protect her? Humanity?
❥ Stas's parents were very much in love and sacrificed everything to give her a chance
❥ Gabriel/Stark was Stas's brother and guardian angel 🡲 even when it seemed he was the enemy
❥ Ezekiel may have been a 'bad guy' and had mysterious motives, but at heart, he was on the righteous path
❥ Everyone was going to find out the truth and Stas and Issac better get their happy ending
So... this book had many moving parts. Stas's origin was revealed... Stas's connection to Gabriel was revealed... a traitor in the midst was revealed... the truth came out! I don't know what this means for Osiris, but I'm hoping they find some way to permanently put this guy out of commission. I'm excited for more of Sethios and Caro. I can't wait for them to make their way back to each other, especially because of what they've endured all these years in protecting Stas. I'm thrilled about what's happening between Issac and Stas and I'm hoping there's going to be a love interest for Gabriel too. I'm intrigued by Ezekiel and Skye's story and I'm crossing my fingers that something sweet happens there. There's also Balthazar and Leela... those two are sure to be explosive. I'm wondering what will happen with regards to Luc and Eliza. I'm not really feeling a ship between them, but who knows what the author will bring. Then there's Johnathan... THANK YOU!!
My favorite lines:
Issac: "You’re my always, Aya, he whispered, hugging her to him. Whatever you need, I’m here. Wherever you go, I’ll go. We’re a team, you and I. No matter the obstacle, no matter the trial, I will never leave your side. That’s my vow to you, always and forever. Across the universe and beyond, I will love you."
Stas: “You’re my always, Issac,” she said, her voice soft yet clear. “I promise to honor you, to cherish you, to be honest with you, and to respect you. To work with you, not against you. To forever remain by your side, regardless of the trial or task. And to trust you, always and forever. Across the universe and beyond, I will love you.”
Honestly, I went into this series with absolutely no expectations and the author blew me away. I'm in love with this world she's created and I can't wait for the next book to come out!!

Author Note: Blood Bonds is a prequel to the Immortal Curse series. There are significant series related spoilers in this novel, therefore it is listed as book 5. However, it still provides a unique introduction to the world and could technically be read first. It would just provide early answers to some of the burning questions raised in books 1-4.
