Soulbound (Darkest London, #6)
Kristen Callihan
Once two souls are joined... When Adam's soul mate rejected him, there was more at stake than his heart. After seven hundred years of searching, his true match would have ended the curse that keeps his spirit in chains. But beautiful, stubborn Eliza May fled—and now Adam is doomed to an eternity of anguish, his only hope for salvation gone... Their hearts will beat together forever... No matter how devilishly irresistible Adam was, Eliza couldn't stand the thought of relinquishing her freedom forever. So she escaped. But she soon discovers she is being hunted—by someone far more dangerous. The only man who can help is the one man she vowed never to see again. Now Adam's kindness is an unexpected refuge, and Eliza finds that some vows are made to be broken...

0SOULBOUND and I are off to a rough start. Though the prologue had my full attention, opening a new window to Adam and the GIM, the story quickly jumps ahead to Eliza in the court of her aunt. If there was a short story or scene from a prior book that eased the transition, I missed it. And while I can intellectually follow the story from there, the momentum is shot to hell. With every reference to a past event, I became more and more interested in the story I have missed, not the present tense being told.
Once past the awkward opening, the body of the book had no difficulty holding my attention. Adam was a rare and delightful confluence of tropes, a virgin Alpha, and his sexual focus alone was enough to keep me riveted. Plot wise, I never grew to care about anything other than Eliza and Adam's relationship.
Trigger concerns: Suicide, threats of rape.
Sexual content: sex scenes
