WITH MY LIFE: OATH OR BOND

by D'Laina Flack

She was sworn to protect the veil.

She was never meant to fall for what lies beyond it.

Rae Jackson has spent her life hiding in plain sight—balancing knives in a kitchen by day and secrets in the shadows by night. As a member of the Nexari, an ancient order sworn to keep the human world from discovering what lurks beyond it, Rae’s duty is

Protect the veil. Keep the truth buried.

But when an undercover mission places her inside the home of Caliver Draven, a powerful and dangerously unpredictable Alpha, Rae is pulled into a web of deception, shifting alliances, and a war that has been quietly building for generations.

And then there’s Dean Walker.

Controlled. Commanding. Unreadable.

There’s something about him Rae can’t explain, something that feels instinctive… inevitable.

The closer she gets, the more dangerous her mission becomes.

Because Dean isn’t just part of the world she’s sworn to keep hidden.

There’s something in him the world was never meant to silence.

As buried secrets rise to the surface and loyalties begin to fracture, Rae is forced to face an impossible

Remain loyal to the oath that defines her…

or risk everything for a bond she was never meant to feel.

In a world built on silence and shadows, one truth could shatter everything.

I really enjoyed WITH MY LIFE: OATH OR BOND. The supernatural world was intriguing, but what stood out most to me was Rae’s emotional journey and the way the characters developed throughout the story. There was a good balance between mystery, emotion, and the supernatural elements that kept me invested. I also loved seeing how one particular character evolved in unexpected ways. Definitely a memorable read.
