Bound
Isolated as an infant.
Raised on D&D.
Is she a demon like the Church says ...
Kyrie Landvik spent the first sixteen years of her life on a mountainside in Colorado, learning about life from her parents by playing D&D and studying math and physics. The tragic loss of her parents thrusts her into the modern world of computers, phones, and high school under the care of an aunt she never knew existed, while also awakening the reason for her isolation.
Growing up without friends, Kyrie finds herself collected into a close-knit group over the love of art and D&D by Michelle, another teenager at her school. Kyrie's desire to flee the modern world for safety is challenged when religious fanatics attempt to kill her and her newfound friends on the way home from school. Forced to choose, Kyrie reveals her powers, raising the question of demonic origins.
With the help of Becca, the computer-savvy member of their group, they start to uncover Kyrie's past, and the people who continue to hunt her and the means to control her very soul. This trail leads them to sneak off on a road trip to rural Arkansas, where cell phone coverage is a myth. There, they hope to truly understand Kyrie's powers and how she came to be.
Can Kyrie and her friends uncover the truth to stop those who want her dead?

A wild ride that just keeps on giving
I loved this book!! We start with Kyrie living on a farm away from society finding her mom dead. She’s never been a part of society, never used a phone, never drank soda etc and we quickly learn why. Someone was searching for her and her parents. Hunting them. And now that she’s popped back up on the radar they’re searching for her too. And they will stop at nothing to find and control her or kill her. She has to navigate high school, magical powers and sword wielding lunatics. It grabs you and suck you right in!

This book is great for Dungeons and Dragons fans.This is a heavily detailed story about a young girl who is suddenly, tragically left alone in the world. Her parents have sheltered her to extreme measures where she can barely function normally in society. I would highly recommend studying up on Dungeons and Dragons before reading if you’ve never played. A lot of questions are left unanswered by the end. All in all a good read with action and suspense.
