The Mists of Elista Trilogy #1
Bonds and Blood
A bond with a spider, a misfit noble house, and a terrifying enemy. What more could a girl want?
What’s my name? Well, in Elista, the name you have before you become True-Bonded doesn’t matter. It’s only once you’ve been Chosen and Bonded with a Lumani, a Spirit-of-the-Mists, that you take your avatar form and gain your true name.
But I don’t end up with a beautiful name like Dove or Swan. Nope… my avatar is a spider and my name is… Legs. Yup, you wear one skin-tight, super-short dress and you end up with a name like Legs for the rest of your life. Also… a spider? Yuck.
And as soon as I gain my name and powers, someone tries to kill me. Luckily, I have friends, including a beautiful beau named Silence. Who wouldn’t want their man to be silent and beautiful? And when I get selected for a misfit noble house, I find out there are many more hunks and hotties ready to stand by my side.
Now, I just need to find out who wants me dead while staying alive, finding love… oh and potentially saving a nation at the same time.

Omg this is an amazing start to what I believe will be an epic!
I've had the characters in my head all throughout the day, which isn't too uncommon but is rare enough. I've been having various adrenaline rushes, throughout, and I think I've found a new author for my top 10 list! This series will be epic enough I actually think I'll be recalling it for years to come. And since my memory is terrible and I read like insane amounts of books, monthly, that's saying something!!! I'm already in love with these guys!

🌶️--This wasn't very good. It was a weird premise and had a mary sue MFC. The story had potential, but felt rushed. The characters could have been better delineated. Also, the voice was sort of strange. Most of the time it was told in the 1st person present, but there were moments where it seemed to be told as a retrospective. I am still not sure which one it was intended to be.

It's okay
While moderately enjoyable, this did read like something posted on a write and share site like wattpad. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Wattpad, but it had a rushed, almost childish voice to it that I've seen from very young posters before.
A light easy read but not something I'd pay for.
