Unbound Affection : 3.5 ⭐️
Like the author said in one of her posts, this isn't a regular werewolf, fantasy-world love story. Be prepared to shed a few tears in the end!
I was definitely not expecting it and was surprised. It was really interesting. Though I feel like some parts of the plot could have been a little more detailed in-depth.
I love the names of the FMC and MMC: Viola and Allen.
Allen's behaviour was confusing in the beginning, going from nice to bully in an instant. I liked seing his development though, how he stopped being such a bully and started doing everything for Viola. He was prepared to sacrifice himself for her. I loved the moments on the roof and how hard he tried to bake her a cake for her birthday.
I liked that Viola had fire inside of her, but I feel like she could have been a bit more stubborn with him and that she gave in to his blackmail a little too quickly. But she kept that fire throughout the book, even when they officially got together which I loved.
There might be a few triggers : death, bullying, descriptions of blood.
Being a sensitive person, especially when it comes to blood, there were a few scenes that were a little too descriptive for my sensitive taste.
What you can find in this book:
🖤 werewolf
🖤 she has special blood and abilities
🖤 touch her and die
🖤 enemies to lovers
🖤 bullying
🖤 love against fate
🖤 sad ending
Thank you for giving me an ARC copy of the book !

Have you ever come across any story which is totally different, unimaginable, out of the box and a very unusual suspense?? Do you believe in cursed birth or life? What do you think will happen to the people who are cursed and can never be normal?
Unbound affection is a very uncommon story of love, uncertain circumstances, cursed blood and a condition beyond imagination. The story is full of emotions, fear of losing, sacrifice, loving unconditionally and empathy. The elements the author has selected to make this story unique from others are very unusual but the impact is hundred percent.
I was shocked when I came to know the truth behind the suspense of the protagonists and why their story is so different yet amazing. The twists and surprises at every nook and corner are splendid. The first reveal itself is damn huge and as the plot grows deeper the journey becomes extraordinary.
So guys if you are looking for something totally uncalled and unpredictable then this is what you need to read.

Curses. Werewolves. Angsty teenagers.
If you like any of the above, give this one a read.
I will start off by saying this book would benefit from an editor, as I get the impression that the author's first language is not English and so some of the sections felt like literal translations or didn't have the right flow and structure.
I don't think I am the demographic this book is aimed at but I think young readers and teenagers would enjoy this supernatural world that the author has created.
There were some great twists thrown in towards the end which took a different turn than I was expecting, which definitely made for an interesting ending.
I think this author has so much potential and can't wait to see how far she can go!

🥀Okay so I went in blindly while starting to read this book. I just thought of it as a high school romance but was dumbstruck when I found that it was also a fantasy novel. The main characters were so cute. Viola is the fmc and Allen Will is the mmc.
🥀 She's new to the school Allen studies at and she's not your normal transfer student. She's hiding something or more specifically hiding who she really is. The thing about Viola is that she does not back down from a fight and stands up for herself and others even though she is scared and terrified.
🥀 Now onto Allen, my boy's the typical bad boy of the school. He's someone with a dark past that needs the new student's help to solve it. I loved how his character developed from a scoundrel (Viola calls them that 🤣) to someone who cares deeply for the people he loves. Also his relationship with his sister Lira was something I considered very special.
🥀 Their relationship was heartwarming. My boy fell first and was just denying his feelings all along 🤭. Viola, girl did not let him push her down but instead pushed him back with the same intensity. I love how their relationship progressed throughout the book.
🥀 I have to add this. Even though Viola and Allen have my heart, Carl was absolute favourite. I just loved his bond with both Viola and Allen. He was just so understanding and compromised with everyone around him.
🥀 The plot was good, but I loved the plot twists here and there. The biggest plot twist at the climax made me feral. They almost had me, not gonna lie. But really? I did not expect it at all.
I have still not recovered from the shock and have no idea what just happened at the ending. So yeah, this should definitely be your next read.
🥀 I would highly recommend this book if you like

This is the first book I’ve read from the author and this isn't a regular werewolf, fantasy-world love story. I was definitely not expecting it and was surprised. It was really interesting.
So we have two main characters as Allen and Voila. Allen's behaviour was confusing in the beginning, going from nice to bully in an instant. I liked seing his development though, how he stopped being such a bully and started doing everything for Viola. He was prepared to sacrifice himself for her. I liked that Viola had fire inside of her, but I feel like she could have been a bit more stubborn with him.
But before you dive into the book, There might be a few triggers : death, bullying, descriptions of blood and gore.
Unbound affection is a very uncommon story of love, uncertain circumstances, cursed blood and a condition beyond imagination. The story is full of emotions, fear of losing, sacrifice, loving unconditionally and empathy. I was shocked when I came to know the truth behind the protagonists and why their story is so different yet amazing.
