Broken bond: African american Paranormal

by Melody Lynch

Hope was the most dangerous thing they could give him

Raphael was stolen as a pup and turned into a weapon. His handlers sent him into enemy packs as a diversion his beautiful blue eyes disarming them just long enough for slaughter to follow. He was taught to feel nothing. To be nothing.

He believed he had no choice but to obey… until the day he crossed paths with an older female wolf who stirred something he was never meant to hope.

But hope is dangerous. And trying to save her might cost him everything.

This super-short story is a slice of Rafe’s backstory from Bound to the Broken. It stands on its own, but it carries dark, emotional themes—and it is not a romance.

This was a fast and straight to the point novella.. overall good tasty Tuesday book

I enjoyed this story, but I wish we had gotten more background on Rap and Kane. I found myself wanting to know more about how everything came to be and what led up to the events in the story. I also had a lot of questions about Scar and Sade, why did they do the things they did? What kind of wolves were they exactly? And why was Martaila away from the pack?

Overall, I really enjoyed the story and the characters, but I needed more details and backstory. It felt like there were pieces of the puzzle missing that would have made the story even stronger for me.

That being said, I loved the book and I'm definitely invested enough to jump right into Part 2. I'm hoping Rap gets the happy ending he deserves.

so sad 😞

This was a good short story. I have already read the other books 📚 after this one, so telling Raphael story line just gave me a insight on what went on in the other books (simply pieces the puzzle together) I felt so bad for him and how they did him and used him up like that to the point he made himself look 👀 ugly. This was straight to the point book.

Okay

This was okay. I decided to read this cause I loved the cover, but I'm sad to say it was a bit underwhelming. I liked the idea of it a ton but its often difficult to create an impacting short story.

I loved how these stories jump right into the action. This one was a bit emotional but still a great read. Looking forward to reading more about the MMC.
