S. Young (1)

Bound by Forever is the third book in the True Immortality series by S. Young. The stories of each book seem to be intertwined, but I didn't have much trouble getting into the story and understanding what is going on in this world, so it kinda can be read as stand-lone. Kiyo and Niamh's story might have ended in this book, but the overall story will end in the next and final book in the series.

The main characters are Niamh a powerful fae and Kiyo an immortal werewolf who is tasked with show more protecting her. Their journey has a lot of ups and downs, but overall I can say that the ups are more and better than the downs.

The reason why I had trouble getting into the story is the constant flee and chase that is happening with Niamh and Kiyo. She runs away from him 3 to 4 times and he is always trying to catch her. Only the first time was justified in my opinion. Kiyo was way too stubborn and secretive so Niamh had her reasons, but it was had for the romance. The romance actually begins in the second half of the book.

I enjoyed the parts about Japan and the Japanese that were used because it helped me learn a few things. I had a slight problem with Kiyo's name because I kept reading it Kyo but other than that everything was good. The lore was also one of the book's good points and I will definitely come back for the 4rth book. I wanna know how this story will end.

Kiyo is stubborn and a little too typical alpha male. I didn't like reading about him wanting to sleep with other women or how he behaved around his ex. It ruined, a little, the idea of what soulmates are in this book for me. Niamh has her issues too, but as the story went on I found myself liking her more. She is slowly becoming her own persona and I can't wait to see more of her in the next book.

Overall, the book was good. The characters had a rough start on their romance, but everything worked out in the end. I would not recommend reading the book as a stand-alone and I would suggest picking book 1 first. show less

This is book 3 in the series, but each book is a different couple. This time we get Kiyonari the only immortal werewolf and Niamh, a fae. It is a slow-burn. I definitely enjoyed the story, the sexual tension was thick. The whole storyline is very interesting and I like the world-building S. Young created for the series. I love the angst element of it all and I want to see what happens next. I liked that the author gave a great summary to get my head back in place and for anyone who is show more reading it as a stand-alone it gives the important points. I will wait to find more in Bitten by Deception, there are still some things I want to read about and hopefully we get them all in the final installment. show less

Amazing slow burn paranormal, Fionn and Rose, he wants revenge she's a nomad looking for something. They both overcome more than they thought possible, she shows him how to love, an epic journey where they uncover more than they thought. Amazing world building and I loved the characters. A great read for everyone that loves this trope. 5 Brilliant stars!

Reading any book by Samantha Young is time well spent. I'm really enjoying this series, although I liked the romance in the first book more than this one. Neither books ended with a cliffhanger, although the plot-arc of the series is compelling enough to make me eager to read the next book. I'm pretty sure I know which couple is up next, and I hope to read about them soon!
