CHAINED BY NIGHT is Book 2 in Larissa Ione's MoonBound
Clan Vampires" series. Larissa Ione does provide some
background information for readers who might not have read
the previous book. However, I highly recommend reading Book
one before reading CHAINED BY NIGHT -- preferably reading one
right after the other.
I am a huge Larissa Ione fan and I
like vampire stories, so CHAINED BY NIGHT is right in my
comfort zone. I found CHAINED BY NIGHT to be just as
entertaining as the first book in this series. As someone
who reads vampire fiction, I like that this MoonBound Clan series is
different from a lot of what's out
there. This series takes place in a modern setting but
there is also an archaic feel to some of the vampire clans.
And rather than the vampires all being dead people come
back to life, there are beings that were born vampires.
I love Larissa Ione's world-building in this series.
Sometimes, if there are too many characters and too many
fantasy elements in a series, I tend to disconnect from it.
It can be too overwhelming. This is not the case for me
with this book. Not only are the characters in CHAINED BY
NIGHT intriguing, but the interconnected relationships and
variety of people and places make for a fascinating story.
The fast-paced action and exciting storyline had me glued
to the page from the beginning.
There are so many things going on in CHAINED BY NIGHT and I
love all of them. Aylin makes a great heroine. She grew up
in a very violent and Darwinian environment. Add to that
the fact that she was born crippled and that only made her
odds of survival that much worse. However, she is a
survivor and a fighter and I like that about her. Her
spirit was never crushed, in spite of everything she had to
deal with. Part of CHAINED BY NIGHT tells the story of a
warrior's journey, but it is not just for the hero. Aylin
proves how strong she is -- both mentally and in spirit. I
love that she's also intelligent and that ends up being one
of the things the hero appreciates about her.
The love story in CHAINED BY NIGHT between Aylin and
vampire clan leader Hunter is delicious. The chemistry
between them, right from the first moment, is great and
generates lots of heat. Larissa Ione provides just the
right balance between super sexiness and relationship
development. Their personalities blend so well together and
there is a wonderful and very easy comradery along with the
intense attraction.
CHAINED BY NIGHT is an example of great story-telling
combined with smoking hot romance. CHAINED BY NIGHT
captivated me from beginning to end and the characters
pulled me in. I eagerly await the next installment in this
fabulous paranormal series by Larissa Ione.
Larissa Ione sets the night on fire with a thrilling new
novel of irresistible hungers and immortal enemies in a
world as sensual and dark as her Demonica series…
THE FUTURE OF HIS TRIBE
Leader of the vampire clan MoonBound, Hunter will do what he
must to save his people from extinction—or worse, a
torturous eternity as vampire slaves and subjects of human
experimentation. To keep his enemies at bay, he has agreed
to mate a rival clan leader’s daughter in return for peace
between the clans and an ally in the looming war with the
humans.
THE LOVER OF HIS SOUL
But survival comes at a price. First, Hunter must break an
ancient curse by successfully negotiating three deadly
tests. Then he must resist the searing passions of the
gorgeous vampire warrior he despises but is bound to mate.
Will Hunter stay true to his word? Or will he risk
everything for the woman he really loves: the vampire
seductress’s identical twin sister?
