In what can only be described as exhilarating, Bound by Blood grabs you tight and keeps you in suspense until the very last page. Be forewarned reading this before settling in to bed is not a wise idea; it could produce vivid and intense dreams. Masterfully written in a class of suspense all it’s own it is one book that is hard to beat. Waiting for a sequel is going to prove very difficult as this is one that will stay around to haunt you awhile.
