Blood Bonds (The Bonds that Tie Book 3) by J. Bree

Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon

I just finished Blood Bonds, Book 3 of โ€˜The Bonds That Tieโ€™ series, by J Bree and WOWZA ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ! (This is spoiler-free FYI!)

OK FIRST OFF! The first half of this book is EPIC ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! I was so UNBELIEVABLY ๐Ÿ˜ฒ impressed with how the momentum continued from that big cliffhanger at the end of the second book! Honestly, the continuance of the story into the third book and the way that piece is resolved, was BRILLIANT ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! So so so good! Soooooo good in fact, that I started messaging my girlfriends and commenting on posts about how BLOWN AWAY ๐Ÿคฏ I was with the amazing DRAMA ๐ŸŽญ in the first half of this book! Absolutely FANTASTIC ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป. EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS for sure ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! So many times we are let down after a major cliffhanger and I can honestly say, this book did not disappoint! Completely drew me in! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

Mannnnnnnn there were SO MANY great ๐Ÿคฉ moments in this book! We learn quite a bit more about our girl and I have to say Iโ€™m a BIG fan of the โ€œgodlikeโ€ side ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! Completely bada$s ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป! And her Bondsโ€ฆ oh boy ๐Ÿ”ฅ oh boy ๐Ÿ”ฅ! Iโ€™ve got ANOTHER one that Iโ€™m now even MORE crazy about then I was before ๐Ÿฅต! All I will say isโ€ฆ itโ€™s about DANG time, oh DARK ONE! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… But dannngโ€ฆ the possessive, protectiveness ๐Ÿคบ of these guys is through the roof and I am HERE FOR IT ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ. Not to mention a certain somethinโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‰ somethinโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‰ scene that begins with a little lookie loo ๐Ÿ‘€ and ends withโ€ฆ wellโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘ + ๐Ÿ† + ๐Ÿ† = ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ! Boo yeah, baby ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I also really loved ๐Ÿ’œ that there is still quite a bit of mystery ๐Ÿ”Ž around a certain Bond and with that, I LOVE ๐Ÿ’— that we are still in the โ€˜Damaged Darkโ€™ on that One! It just makes me super EXCITED ๐Ÿคฉ about the next book and to learn more about these โ€˜void-eyedโ€™ Bonds and what the deal-i-o is with certain all-nighter chats! Really, there is still quite a bit of mystery even though quite a bit was revealed ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! Makes us want for more while at the same time, get some MUCH needed answers! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Annnnd for all of yโ€™all with some major ANXIETY ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ from some pretty AGONIZING ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ conspiracy theories from Book 2โ€ฆ just know that YES!, you will have those answers!! Woot ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! Woot ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป!

But I CANNOT โ€ฆ NOT โ€ฆ mention that ending! So! I totally wonโ€™t spoil it ๐Ÿ˜โ€ฆ but I will say that in true J Bree fashionโ€ฆ BOOM ๐Ÿ’ฅ. Like with the ending of Book 2, a big B0MB ๐Ÿ’ฃ is dropped and all I can say is thank the book gods โ€˜Forced Bondsโ€™ will be out this March because I think everyone & their brother/sister/cousin/spouse/aunt/uncle/mother/grandfather/grandmother/first cousin/cousin removed by some ungodly number (OK you get the gist ๐Ÿ˜…) โ€ฆ NEEDS to know if this is LEGIT or if something else is really up! WE NEED TO KNOW J BREE ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚!

So if you like a bit of a enemies-to-lovers, bully romance, rejected mates VIBE (I say VIBE because it really isnโ€™t one of thoseโ€ฆ itโ€™s just in itโ€™s own wheelhouse), page-turning action, hot & heavy STEAM ๐Ÿ”ฅ, and an ending with a TWIST ๐ŸŒช โ€ฆ you may want to give this one a go! Itโ€™s free on KU and you never knowโ€ฆ it may just be the book that binds you!
