Cassandra Lost in Books

My Thoughts - 3.5 out of 5 Unicorns - I more than liked it!!!

***Received a copy of the audiobook for an honest review

The cover is beautiful, but I have a thing for both purple and eyes, so putting them together makes it a win :)

I read the blurb for this book and thought it sounded like it might be intriguing, so when the author asked me if I wanted to listen to the audio version, I totally jumped at the chance.  I must admit but until this year; I had never thought much about audiobooks, but it was a mistakes.  I’m definitely a book addict and love to read, but sometimes, you have other things to do like grade papers, drive somewhere, or mow the lawn.  So I wasn’t getting my book fixes enough due to having other things I had to do.  Audiobooks are the perfect solution for someone like me who is able to listen while doing other things to get my book fix :)

This was my first time listening to the narrator Kristin James.  It took me a while to get into her style as a narrator.  I have found this is a usual thing for me at least….it is like getting to know narrator as you listen, but once you do, I find it is easier to get sucked into the narrator’s works as you listen to more and more from that narrator.

This is the first book in the Bound series, and it is also the author’s first book too!  The story is definitely unique and not like anything I’ve ever read before.  I think the series is going to improve with each subsequent book, and I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on this series.  There are so many questions I still have and want answers to that when the book ended; I was silently screaming Noooo in my head because I wanted more.  Amelia is being pushed, pulled, and dragged in every direction, but she is also mostly in the dark and cluelessly trying to find answers.

Stormy’s story has so much going on that you are definitely not bored while you are trying to figure out who is what side and who you should cheer for.  I think I’m still not sure, so I definitely need book 2 in the future :)

I recommend this book to anyone who wants some magic in their life mixed with lots of mystery and intrigue.  This is definitely a unique take on magic and the different kinds :)
