Xandra is recovering from being attacked, her and Declan are finally together, working on being a soulbound couple and are so combustible they seem to have sex at the drop of a hat. All the while trying to save a kidnapped little girl and figure out who's killing Counselors ( )

The witches on the council are being murdered and Xandra gets to witness it all compliments of her gift. If that wasn't bad enough she is connecting to a kidnapped child and is rushing to find her before it's to late.

The characters of this series take a lot of hits in FLAMEBOUND. Xandra's gifts start evolving, Declan's need for revenge is at an all time high and Xandra's family is targeted and will never be the same again. It doesn't feel like Xandra and Declan's relationship will ever be easy. They don't trust each other, their personalities clash a lot and they keep things from each other. I hope that changes because they make a great team when they actually work together and they make a hot couple. My favorite part of FLAMEBOUND? The ending. Wow, I was not expecting that. Anyone else see that coming? I was fooled 'til the end.

It took me a few chapters to get into book 2 and I seemed to have forgotten some of the events that happened in SOULBOUND so I had to catch myself up to speed. I constantly felt like the story was missing something or maybe I just wasn't into the story as much as I was in SOULBOUND? There were a few slow parts that might have contributed to the feeling of being unfulfilled? Will I read book 3? Of course. I still love what the author has done with the characters and the world they live in and I am still excited to see what will happen next.
