Binding Ties
They are the Sentinels. Three races descended from ancient guardians of mankind, each possessing unique abilities in their battle to protect humanity against their eternal foes: the Synestryn. Now a warrior must protect his onetime enemy—without succumbing to his darkest desires.
Lyka Phelan is a Slayer, sent to live among her enemy to guarantee lasting peace with the Theronai. Yet she has a secret—and it could make her a slave to their power. But when a pack of Synestryn destroys her home and captures her packmates, Lyka realizes her freedom is a small price to pay for the safety of her people. So she strikes a bargain with the leader of the Theronai—one that reveals her true identity and binds her to him forever.
Joseph thought he knew better than to tangle with the beautiful, hot-blooded Lyka. One misstep could send their races straight back to war. But now he has no choice other than to help her. Forced to protect her with his life, Joseph finds himself increasingly drawn to Lyka. As they risk everything in their fight against the demons, he realizes he must convince her to surrender to him completely—otherwise she will never truly be his.

I received a digital and print copy in exchange for an honest review from Berkley. I was really hoping that Binding Ties would be a return to the start of the series and what made it great. I still love the world that the author has created but her characters are starting to annoy me. What happened to the head strong, driven, hot blooded people we knew in the beginning? I really miss them and the Sentinel Wars books are one of my favorites. Binding Ties still touches on some past events which has been nice to get to see. I hope Shannon brings back the old touch and feel of this fantastic series. |
