About the author
Kendra Moreno
77 books811 followersKendra Moreno is secretly a spy but when she’s not dealing in secrets and espionage, you can find her writing her latest adventure. She lives in Texas where the summer days will make you melt, and southern charm comes free with every meal. She’s a recovering Road Rager (kind of) and slowly overcoming her Star Wars addiction (nope!), and she definitely didn’t pass on her addiction to her son (she did). She has one hellhound named Mayhem who got tired of guarding the Gates of Hell and now guards her home against monsters. She’s a geek, a mother, a scuba diver, a tyrannosaurus rex, and a wordsmith who sometimes switches out her pen for a sword.
If you see Kendra on the streets, don’t worry: you can distract her with talks about Kylo Ren or Loki.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oh my god this book was absolutely insane in the BEST way possible and I need the second one immediately because that ending has me in a complete chokehold.
This book instantly throws you straight into a brutal dystopian world where survival comes at the cost of your humanity, and I was completely hooked. The atmosphere was so vivid and gritty that I could practically feel the suffocating heaviness of Dross through the pages. Everything about this world feels sharp, dangerous, and hopeless.
The Harrow itself was one of the coolest and most horrifying concepts I’ve read in a long time. It’s not just about surviving monsters or fights, it’s about what the system slowly turns people into. Every choice, every level gained, every sacrifice feels heavy, and the psychological side of the story was honestly just as intense as the action.
And Vesper? OMG I absolutely love her. She’s angry, determined, flawed, and willing to do whatever it takes to survive, and she is so strong. It has been a while since I have read a book with a strong FMC in a while and Vesper is exactly what I needed!
The pacing was unreal. Every chapter ended with me saying “just one more” until suddenly I’d read most of the book in one sitting, and I would have finished it had I not needed sleep haha. The twists kept coming, the stakes kept rising, and the deeper you get into the tiers and the truth behind the Ascendants, the more addictive the story becomes. There’s this constant feeling that something much darker is happening beneath the surface, and I NEED answers.
Also, that ending??? Absolutely criminal. I finished the last page and just sat there staring into space because there is no way it can end like THAT. I need book two right now.
If you love dystopian with deadly games, brutal survival, addictive world-building, and high stakes, Code Bound is 100% worth the read.
