Lexy Ryan has spelled bound me to keep reading this book. But the way to get to the points I can not foresee. And ohh my, there are some predictable things in the book, just like in book one. And of cause I started to read the book right away.

I must admit that I jumped and screamed when I saw that I had gotten approval to get the arc of “These twisted bonds”. I received an eARC from the publishers through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this and I hope that this isn’t the last we see of some of these characters! I do feel like the plot maybe had more intricacies and mystery in the first book, but I still thought it was good. I do wish that some of the final climax chapters with the enemy Queen were elongated as it did feel like it was wrapped up pretty neatly – even though I could tell that the plot was leading in that direction. I did predict pretty much everything that happened so there weren’t really any twists for me, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment at all. I really enjoyed the addition of a few new characters (side note: I need a Misha spin-off 👀) and I felt that all the characters had the arc they deserved. I found the beginning a little slow and I struggled to get back into the world after the initial action-packed chapters. I found These Twisted Bonds to be just as addictive a read as These Hollow Vows! I liked that Brie came into herself and her powers more, the romance was swoony even though the spice was mild and the plot was interesting.
