In the Divide, magic has a way of making you pay twice.
Sable has spent thirteen years as a crime lord's property. When she finally gets the chance to break free, she runs... straight into the jaws of something far worse.
Harkan is ruthless and utterly uninterested in letting her go. When he severs her old chains, he replaces them with something far more dangerous: a bond that hums beneath her skin every time he's near.
She should hate him, and she does...
But she also can't stop thinking about his hands. His voice. The way his control fractures every time someone looks at her wrong.
With the Mating Moon rising and enemies closing in, Sable is caught between the man hunting her and the wolf claiming her, and a bond that's making it harder to tell the difference between captivity and craving.
Seven nights. One feral Alpha. And a bond that won't be denied.
Because when the moon rises and magic comes due, some bonds damn you…
And some mark you forever.

4 out of 5 (very good)
MOONBOUND BONDS is the first book in the Wild Divide series, BUT it is preceded by A Silence of Shadows (Whisperbound #1) and Moonbound Lies (Wild Divide #0.5). I didn't know and haven't read either of them, so I did feel as though I'd dropped into a story already half written.
It begins with Sable plotting her escape from Varro, the bond now broken due to Harken's bite. It's not necessarily that she doesn't want to be bonded to Harken, but more so that she's just spent the last thirteen years bonded against her will to Varro. So she tries to run, Sable and her little fox familiar, Trouble. They don't make it very far, but Harken is there to save the day.
Although their story starts partway through, I was gripped by the ongoing crisis and the characters that move it along so perfectly. Sable and Harken are perfect for each other. Sassy and overprotective - and I'll let you figure out which half is which!
I am loving this story and the characters, and can't wait to see more of them as Sable and Harken's story continues. A great read that I definitely recommend, but I do wish I'd read the others first.
