I have to say this story maybe could have used a little love
from Victoria – it was at times hard to stomach – but I try not to be ultra
critical of editing errors (Lord knows I make them) when I want to discuss a book. It is true that this particular
story proves difficult to follow based on those errors but if you can overlook
them, there are possibilities here.
Bound to Darkness isn't just a cookie cutter vampi story filled
with suspense, brutality and the normal vampirism and characterizations. I am a
on the fence reader of vampire stories, I either enjoy them or find them very
ordinary. Here we have perhaps something no so ordinary.
The premise of the story is about the turning of two
twins that were born into a vampire clan. The plot follows the emotional realization
and dramatic events surrounding the forthcoming event. If you want YA vampire romance,
this is not for you. Something along the lines of a brutal somewhat suspense
filled tale of vampire fantasy then grab it for a look.
The story moves along well and provides much detail and emotion to keep the plot moving. You find yourself genuinely invested in the twins and their coming plight. Whether that is that the escape the life or that they are dragged in the lifestyle that so many envy. This is certainly not a love story or a commercial spin on the Twilight Saga, this is a cold and true story of brutality and the life of vampires.
It is as also a prequel to The Turning vampire series, which one
can only imagine, will center on the vampire clan associated to the twins –
worth a look in my estimation. Don’t expect grand things here but as far as
entertainment value, yes. Again, caution on the edit issues. If you are a
stickler on this – as many are and should be- I advise you move along. Otherwise, Bound
to Darkness will provide you some entertainment value and open you up to the mind of April M. Reign.
