Ensnared

Rate this book
Lavinnia Spectrim is fully aware of how immense her power is. After all, she was born with the ability to harness all six of the elements (and even King Tobias, who was previously thought to be the most powerful being in all of Elementia, can only wield four). But she keeps her powers a secret; the last thing she wants is to take on the responsibility that comes with her capabilities. Yet something evil is on the horizon; a similar evil that snuffed out the Dragon Riders a thousand years ago. And with the new generation of Riders that was born along with Lavinnia, there is the ever-present fear that they will also be slaughtered, taking with them the elements of Light and Shadow. And while Lavinnia does her best to keep her head down and live a quiet life, she finds herself thrust into her destiny and pushed to save not only her queen, but the world as she knows it. For malicious hunters are after not only the new queen Zara Wolfsbane, but her as well. Will history be doomed to repeat itself? Or will Lavinnia wield her power for good and save her realm?
Author Luna Weathers offers a groundbreaking paranormal fantasy series that will captivate its audiences and leave them petitioning for more. With a stellar cast, fast-paced storyline, and fascinating concepts, “Element Bound Book 1: Ensnared” is the perfect adventure for any reader. For fans of fantasy, magic, and mystery, the Element Bound series is sure to become their next penultimate favorite

Lavinnia's story is truly amazing and incredible. The way the story unfolds grabs you and you don't let it go until you're done and want more. I love the way Vinnie is, how loyal she is to her best friend and that she would do anything for her. It is inevitable not to suffer with her when you read what she had to go through being captive, however, Vinnie is a total warrior.
The way her powers develop is surprising and I can't wait to read what plans the goddess has for her. Her magic seems to be a living entity in her and that blows your mind.
The story feels completely fresh and refreshing, it expands this incredible world a bit further and leaves you with questions and intrigues that you want answers to.
Ensnared is the tip of the iceberg for Lavinnia's history and I can't wait to read the next few books in her history and in this world.

Luna Weathers has completely obliterated every expectation I had for this story and exceeded them beyond all measure! Lavinnia’s story was absolutely fantastic!

It was so enthralling to get to see Lavinnia’s story after meeting her in the Hybrid Prophecies series. I was so intrigued with her then, that getting to see her story play out was wonderful. Lavinnia blew me away with her kindness, protectiveness, power, and confidence. She is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. Her powers are stronger than she could have ever imagined and exceed all that she had learned from books about previous rulers and magic wielders.

Her magic is stunning! The way Luna Weathers describes Lavinnia’s powers is enchanting. Like her powers are a physical, living, breathing entity. I can picture the effortless flow of magic so clearly. I won’t spoil anything for other readers, but I will say that what Lavinnia can do with her powers is truly incredible and so fascinating. I can’t wait to see what else she has is store for us in future books.

The detail and description that Luna Weather so eloquently writes throughout the story had me completely spellbound. The words were written so flawlessly that every scene was depicted as if a movie were playing in front of my eyes. The imagery that is described truly brought this book to life and took it to an even higher level.

This book was utterly amazing! My words cannot even begin to do this book justice. Trust me when I say that you should absolutely pick up this book and give it a read!

Luna does it again! Spectacular 💜

Love how it starts with Lavinnia‘s childhood memory as a background. With the story starting from her perspective it’s shows how Lavinnia grew up outside of the town capitol with her family and best friend.
What happened when she was taken & how she survived as a prisoner plus we then had more insight into the sorcerer’s plans & what he envisioned as he tried to get Lavinnia on his side.
Realising how long she was actually there, battling for her life against these ‘opponent’s’ the sorcerer keeps coming for her is a testament to how strong she is, mentally and physically!
When Ana was put in the cell next to her we knew much of the story from there but again, seeing it from Lavinnia’s point of view was so interesting! And gave us more details into these amazing characters.

It left me with much more questions & anticipation as to what’s to come, so much so that I already pre-ordered the next book 🥰 Another brilliant story, lots of heart & sense of curiosity with Lavinnia’s personality coming out throughout the book. Can’t wait for the next one! 💕

Luna Weathers as done it again!
Wow! This book is amazing, Luna first introduced us to Lavinnia in her hybrid prophecy series. Her character depth that you see grow from one series to the next it’s unbelievable. Strong, powerful, but most of all caring! I will not give spoilers but this book is a must. The detail that Luna gives about Lavinnia will transport you into her world like not many other authors can. This book is definitely a 5 star and a must read for 2021, every time Luna out does herself.

This book was WOW, It grabbed me from the instant that I started reading and I had to finish it in one sitting, I could not put it down. This book took me away to another world for a short time and I was disappointed when it ended. It moves along at a comfortable reading pace, has characters that you want to know more about and by the end of the book you are loving them, no matter what. The story grabs you and keeps you interested until the end and then you are wanting more. This book needs to be read, no doubt about it.

Luna Weathers continues to build a wonderful world. This story is amazing. We met Lavinnia in Wolf Hunted but now we start to get her story. I loved hearing about her childhood, her relationships with her friend and her family.

It was interesting to find out just how long she was captive before we met her through Ana. I loved reading things from Laviannia’s perspective. What she went through and how it helped to strengthen her and her powers. I can’t wait to find out more in future books.

So now we understand Lavinnia. She is so much more than expected, and the oddness in some things she said in the previous book are explained here. Yet I have more questions and wonder what will come next. Is she a Rider? What is the plan for her? Because I don’t doubt for a second that her final fight before meeting Ana took much more from her than just some of her memory. While this definitely isn’t a romance, it was a very necessary story to understanding the stage being created and set for the battles to come. I can’t wait to see more from her and get some more answers (and likely just as many new questions) in the next book.

Wow! Ensnared is a fantastic read!
Lavinnia is an amazing character. She is able to harness all six of the elements. She lives a quiet life working for her parents and spends time with her best friend, Kessendra. Until one day she leaves to see the new queen Zara and finds herself kidnapped by evil forces.
This was an amazing story full of magic and it was great start Lavinnia’s journey.
If you want fast-paced, magical adventure you should check out this book!

Wow, so I guess I what I was expecting and what I got were two different things. Now, was that bad? Absolutely not! This book was excellent, I loved reading about Lavinia. Her story was amazing! There was a wealth of character development in this story and I loved reading about Kessendra and Lavinia’s history together. I think the only thing I missed I can’t say as it might spoil the story for others. And it may yet be resolved in a later book. I mean it does say book 1 after all. So I look forward to the next one!

Luna has done it once again!
Lavinnia is such a strong character. Watching her journey of growth was amazing. I continue to be amazed by Luna Weathers’ love for her characters. You feel every emotion she goes through. Lavinnia’s use of magic is mesmerizing and captivating.

“There’re books that are just good others great but just a few that blow your mind and this one was EPIC! Not only the plot was addictive but Luna did and incredible work with her characters. Lavinnia was a strong heroine that was passionate, intelligent and independent but also fascinating seeing her growth during this journey. For the plot, I won’t give details cause it’s a story that everybody should discover on their own but you can expect magic and powers, the smooth hooks you from the very beginning and quickly you lost in this world. Utterly amazing! We still have questions that's for sure but I’m looking forward to see how much this world is going to give us. All the stars!”

Ensnared

I absolutely loved this book. I wasn’t sure if I would, because it’s not my normal type of book, but it was amazing. Lavinnia is an elemental the was blessed with all six elements. Her family has kept this secret to keep her safe, but what happens when the new queen and her get kidnapped by a dark force that has learned of her ability? This book kept me intrigued the entire time and managed to surprise me a couple of times. It was really good and I would definitely recommend.

In this book, Luna Weathers does it again. The way she brings life to be a strong, passionate, and self-sufficient woman that fights against evil characters is impressive. In this book, Lavinia’s history, which we have met before, is told from her point of view, and we learn along with her how strong and magnificent she is, and her role in the future of the fight against an evil that the characters we love (Zara, Tobias, Atara, Ryder, and so on) have to overcome

In this book, Luna introduces us to another strong female character; I'm amazed how she can portrait such different personalities in every one of her books; in this case, this fantastic elemental holds the future of her kingdom.

Ensnared
By Luna Weathers.
 
Again, Ms. Weathers has amazed me at the depth this novel has gone into.
We had met Lavinnia briefly in the previous book series (“Unleashed") in the series and we became aware that she would be playing a somewhat important role the further we get into this series, what exactly??? Well, you need to read both book #2 and this one to know what I am talking about.
So, when you realise the depth and breadth that this series goes into with the individual characters, not only who they are but also what their powers are, how their environment affected their development including any major changes that occurred in their lives and possibly the effect it may have had, you understand why “Ensnared” was such an important book to be written, giving us a complete perspective of how and why major changes occur, with whom and why.
Lavinnia had been spoken of throughout the whole series, only up until recently, no one in positions of power knew she existed. For the Elemental realm her power’s (any elementals power’s) decides on the path their lives will take and Lavinnia wields a number of amazing power’s that will change the course of both political and social issues within the realms.
Not wanting to divulge any spoilers, I will say one thing. This series is out of this world, I have not read anything so detailed in a long time and considering this covers paranormal romance, fantasy, mythology, the supernatural realms and magical beings from all realms most readers would find something that would attract them, especially with the action, mystery, suspense and non-stop adventure you can even include detective type characters, so yep!!! Just about everyone would be enchanted by the beauty, mystery, and care that is developing throughout the storyline and series.
I must say that this author is definitely someone who will become acknowledged as a Best-selling Author soon, it may have already happened, if not once the word gets out the rest will be history, she has the talent and passion found in many of those within the top arena of this industry, so don’t wait!!! Grab a copy today and delve right in.
Due to the way this novel has been written, you could easily read it as a Standalone, getting great enjoyment out of Lavinnia's adventure, but to get the full scope of the series reading from bk #1. “Wolf Hunted" is a must. So sit, put your feet up, and begin being drawn into the world’s of Zara, Atara, Tobias, Raven, and many others.
****IMPORTANT NOTE!!
Ensnared has such  awe-inspiring characters plus scenarios that even though Lavinnia is directly linked to both “Wolf Hunted” and “Unleashed” (Hybrid Prophecies) Ms Weathers has made a major judgement call and decided to create a whole new series within the realms of the Elementals.
So please realise that even though connected “Ensnared” is not part of the “Hybrid Prophecies” series, she is now Book #1 of “Elemental Bound"
Enjoy.
