Spellbound

by Kodilynn Calhoun

Wylde Debraux is 16: Sassy, fiercely independent—and the Wyvern princess of the desert tribe of Kiir’vanan. When her father demands she choose a suitor within a fortnight to become her mate, Wylde rebels…and finds herself face to face with her enemies.

Born without power, Kascien Trump is a slave to the Magi. He’s as trapped as the bio-engineered dragonhounds he breeds and fights for his master. Then Wylde blazes into his life, offering him the possibility of freedom, and he knows she’s probably his only ticket out of there. Alive, anyway.

But when Wylde’s captured, the spellbound slave and the fiery dragon-shifter have to put aside their differences and work together to outwit the Magi and escape the clutches of Kascien’s corrupt master…or lost themselves trying.

About the author

Kodilynn Calhoun is a 25-year-old gal from Indiana. She’s been writing seriously for over 12 years; her first real novel was a 300-page fantasy monster with little plot and plenty of randomosity. Today, she’s mostly a writer of YA paranormals and is a sucker for a good love story and the fantastic: werewolves, shifters, incubi, and gargoyles? You name it, she probably writes it (and hopes you like it)!

I went into this book blind, being mesmerized by the title and cover, not reading the blurb. The plot itself wasn't particularly a strong one, but it definitely wasn't weak either, It had a nice mix of magic and dragons, with an enchanting and not overly done love story thrown in. The author also brings in slavery and the importance of one's freedom.
Ms. Calhoun has a talent for keeping you in the moment, though, so your thoughts don't wander off to what other characters may be doing. All in all, it was a pleasant read. I am looking forward to reading another title of hers after catching a snippet of it at the end of this one.

A very nice plot with strong characters!

Spellbound is an amazing paranormal story for young adults about dragons and magic. It is a little dark, which is fine with me, but I wouldn't let anyone younger than 10th grade probably read it. Unless you have a very mature teen.
There is some cursing in it but I wasn't bothered by any of it.

Spellbound offers a lot for a lot of people. It is a love story but it is also a story of redemption. It's about people standing up for what and who they believe in it, even if it can be scary.

The fight scenes are amazing and Calhoun was very crafty in describing the scenes.
