SOULBOUND is Book six in Kristen Callihan's Darkest
London
steampunk series. I think reading at least a few of the
previous books in this series, if not all of them, in
order
to get a proper feel of this world and some of the main
characters in SOULBOUND is a good idea. Adam is a
fascinating and legendary character in the world that
Kristen Callihan has created in her "Darkest London"
series. SOULBOUND is not the story I expected it to be but
it's a captivating one.
There are a lot of elements in SOULBOUND that seem
reminiscent of fairytales -- which is very apt since a lot
of the main characters in this tale are Fae. What could be
more fitting, in some ancient and slightly twisted
fairytale, than to find that your aunt is keeping a dark
prince chained in her basement and you probably never
really knew her true identity at all? That is the reality
that Eliza May finds herself in at the beginning of
SOULBOUND. That Eliza and Adam, the aforementioned chained
man, have a very complicated and not so pleasant history
adds another fascinating layer to this story.
The bonds that connect Adam to Eliza, and the magic behind
that bond, are not always easy to understand in SOULBOUND.
However, what is obvious is how trust plays a major role
in
the development of their relationship. Adam's recent
captivity gives him a better understanding of what he did
wrong in his earlier interactions with Eliza. There is a
lot of personal growth on both sides before their
relationship takes a turn for the better. Although their
path to romance is very rocky, the payoff is well worth
it.
The moment they both let each other into their hearts is
beautiful and very moving. Kristen Callihan does a great
job of combining spellbinding storytelling, textured
characters, and highly erotic romance.
SOULBOUND by Kristen Callihan is a tale of magic and one
where romance blossoms after two people learn how to trust
each other and put the past aside. Seeing favorite
characters from past books make a great addition to the
story and make sense, rather than distracting from it. I
eagerly await the next installment in this always
imaginative, sexy, and exciting Darkest London
series.
Once two souls are joined . . .
When Adam's soul mate rejected him, there was more at
stake
than his heart. After seven hundred years of searching,
his
true match would have ended the curse that keeps his
spirit
in chains. But beautiful, stubborn Eliza May fled-and now
Adam is doomed to an eternity of anguish, his only hope
for
salvation gone . . .
Their hearts will beat together forever
No matter how devilishly irresistible Adam was, Eliza
couldn't stand the thought of relinquishing her freedom
forever. So she escaped. But she soon discovers she is
being
hunted-by someone far more dangerous. The only man who can
help is the one man she vowed never to see again. Now
Adam's
kindness is an unexpected refuge, and Eliza finds that
some
vows are made to be broken . . .
