Moon Bound

by Maddison Cole

Iona

Exiled for existing. Suffering is second nature.

As the rejected offspring of two rival species, Iona has never found a place to belong. Until one night, a dark and dangerous vampire arrives, turning her world on its axis. Pushing her to embrace both monsters lurking within, Jaxon proves nothing is as it seems. Will Iona survive the tests that threaten to destroy her and, better yet, walk away with her heart intact?

Rowena

Hidden in the Vampire castle, a prisoner in her chamber.

Rowena has access to all of her desires, except the guard posted on the other side of her bedroom door. Yaris’ vow to serve prevents her fantasies, forcing her to crave his blood and body from afar. But her sister’s coronation and one heated kiss change everything. Now, Rowena isn’t content with yearning. She’s prepared to risk it all for his heart damn the consequences.

Moon Bound contains two interlinking standalones, both of which are M/F paranormal romances with a HEA each. Due to dark themes and adult content, this vampire and shifter romance is recommended to readers aged eighteen or over.

About the author

Maddison Cole is a married mum of two, and a serial daydreamer. As a huge fan of fantasy romance novels for the past 7 years, she has finally decided to put pen to paper (finger to keyboard doesn't sound as poetic) and begin to write her own.

As a child, life was moving around the UK and a short stint in the Caribbean, before Maddison has found herself back in the south east of England where she is now happily settled. With a double award in applied arts and an A-level in art history, Maddison is just your average musical-loving, Disney-obsessed, jive-dancing woman with a dark passion for steamy fantasy books.

Meh. I honestly am leaning more toward a 2.5 but I'm feeling generous today.


I think this book just went on a little too long, and added some POVs that didn't really add too much. We have 5 main characters and then we add in the dad, the old proposed mate, and the sister? I just didn't need that many. I do see the plot movement for the old proposed mate but her dad didn't really add much we didn't get from other perspectives.


Then I also felt we got more detailed fight and kidnap scenes than we did any relationship building. I just wanted more.

I loved it, although I would have liked a scene 🔥 where everyone participated hahaha, and I have many doubts!:

spoiler


Who was the woman who helped Swayer, I have a theory but I'm not sure!
Why did Swayer change her appearance to silver eyes and hair?
So... Kofu did completely surrender to the dark side? (I liked the idea of the character with a lonely and sad past who might find love, but I guess it won't be with Aspen) idk... :(. That thing about him being the king of the hybrids confused me, I know those are the plans of the alpha of the wolves but where did that idea come from? Will this be explained/developed in the other books?

This book was an amazing read that grabbed me and kept me interested and reading until the end. IT moves along at a pace that is perfect for this story, has interesting characters that you want to know and cannot help but love and a story that will not disappoint keeping you reading till the last page. This book is a must read that needs to be on your TBR list, there is no doubt about it.

Outstanding

This supernatural RH is brilliant.
Maddison’s use of descriptive words creates a very real image in your mind.
Aspen’s ability to overcome the many hurdles in her life to find her true loves and place in the world is fantastic to read.
I look forward to the next book, the last chapter from Rowena’s POV leads me to believe it will be equally as enticing.

Spoilers:

Why Choose (No MM)
No OWD or Pregnancy.
Lots of unanswered questions since this is an interconnected series.
FMC was likable. MMCs were interesting.
This felt a bit rushed. Lots of little time jumps. It could have been much more in-depth but I’m not complaining. Average spice with vampire sprinkles. It was good enough to make me want to read the next book.

Vampires and Shifters

Moon Bound by Maddison Cole is a riveting read. Aspen our fmc, a hybrid is absolutely bada** and i thoroughly enjoyed her tale. Maddison Cole brings the steam, spice and action in this paranormal rh romance. I highly recommend you skip adding it to your tbr and just download and read now.

Can’t believe it’s been on my TBR pile for so long

Great book! The heart ache, the betrayal, the passion, I felt them all within the words. I loved it. I felt her immense sadness after realizing she lost part of herself. I also wish there was more povs from Sawyers version, otherwise I thought the multiple povs were pretty balanced. Can’t wait to read the next one!

must read

I loved this book. Aspen is amazing and so are her men. I loved the storyline. I’m looking forward to Rowena’s story and I’d like to know what happens to the supernatural council and the Wolfpack.
