Vicious Bonds (The Tether Trilogy, #1)
Shanora Williams
From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Shanora Williams comes a dark romantic fantasy series of violence, chaos, angst, and a powerful love that can't be denied... WILLOW I was never meant to live an ordinary life, and when I’m dropped from the sky into a haunting forest, facing the barrel of an unknown man’s gun, I believe it to be true. Ruler of Blackwater, Caz Harlow, is the man behind the gun. He’s broody, calculating, commanding and, surprisingly, I can hear every thought that runs through his mind. Because I can, he wants me out of his world and sent back to where I came from, so he makes it his mission to find a way. It seems like a simple task, until I realize his world is unlike mine—that his is filled with violence, chaos, destruction, and gifted people who can kill you with one look. In his universe, it’s hard for a regular human like me to survive, but with Caz at my side, the possibility is higher. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is for me to ignore the connection that makes me feel alive. He says we’re not meant to be, so why does everything about him set my soul on fire? CAZ I have too many enemies to count, and when this Willow woman drops into my forest, that’s exactly what I think she is: an enemy. But then she makes a remark without even opening her mouth, and I realize I can hear her thoughts, and she can hear mine. As Monarch of Blackwater, I can’t allow her to stay. By doing so, I risk losing everything I’ve worked so hard to build, so I make it my mission to find her a way back home. But as this mission rolls on, I realize my bond with Willow goes much deeper than I ever could have imagined. And the more I reject her, the more pain I feel entering my body. However, when I lower my guard, the pain disappears and I crave her touch. This relentless, undeniable bond is becoming impossible to ignore, but I can’t give into it. For if she stays, death will come for us, and it’s up to me to choose our fate. Do I risk staying with her and putting her life at constant risk, or do I sacrifice the one thing that brings me happiness and let her go? Vicious Bonds is book one of the Tether Series. It’s a romantic fantasy with violent acts and possibly triggering events. Please read at your own risk.

ok really really cool concept of the different worlds and also the tether and all that, really liked that about the book, the characters were fun, willow definitely liked her a lot, can't wait for her to be even more badass in the second book and in that world, rowan tho i really liked him and i need more scenes pls!! caz was fun, reminds me a lot of kaz from six of crows so if you like kaz and then if you liked kaz and inej storyline and romance and all that, I think you could like willow and caz too, not really you know too similar, caz and willow have their own story and the bond and not really liking each other at first that kaz and inej don't have but definitely the same vibe so i feel like if you like kaz and inej, there's a change you could really like caz and willow!! also caz i wanted to slap him aut also after getting to know him on the deeper level, i just wanted to hug him and their development was cute, wish there was a little bit more and more slow burn than it was but not bad it's intriguing and entertaining and the plot was so fun too BUT THE ENDING??? WHAT THE HELL need to read the second book asap!! really excited to know more but also so scared what the hell i wasn't expecting but at the same time i should've known ksksk but overall, i had fun, like the "hate" to love romance, like the family too and DEFINITELY THE PEAKY BLINDERS INSPIRATION aa if you love peaky blinders definitely TRY THIS BOOK PLEASE!! rowan reminds me of john eheh both flirty and funny or at least trying to be haha then killian kinda reminds me of arthur always complaining but with the vest intentions, maeve the aunt obviously reminds me of polly both queen and reminding those boys their place and then we have juniper who is definitely similar to ada and it's so funny, my girly girl who wants to fall deeply in fall and doesn't take bullshit from the guys!! so love that i could associate them to the peaky blinders characters but wait killian tho hmmm kinda reminds me also of michael wish michael and arthur don't really have anything in common so yeah idk killian it's a little bit difficult but still the book has peaky blinders vibes and it's fun and hot and also deals with depression and trauma so check trigger warnings too but so good, i just needed more slow burn romance but then they do I have that bond so yeah just missing something STILL good and i need to continue asap!
