A Multifaceted, Entertaining Read

If you could sum up Blessedly Bound in three words, what would they be?

Well Written, Multifaceted and Entertaining

What other book might you compare Blessedly Bound to and why?

Hmm....that's tough. This book was very different. It oddly reminded me of the cozy mystery books

What does Molly King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She made the characters feel very real

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was comfortable. I liked being in the book. At the same time there was tension because she's looking for the murderer of her grandmother

Any additional comments?

Here's my full Amazon review:
This book is very well written and very well developed. It's hard to describe it because it had so much going for it and had so many different aspects to why I liked it. Most of the book had this comfortable feeling, like you wanted to live in this word, but it also had an underlying tension as the main character was not only seeking out her grandmother's killer, but is also being stalked by another witch. The characters felt real. Many of the characters live in the gray area between good and bad. How is that possible? The same way it is in real life, they had the best intentions then made a few bad decisions.

This book is the first in a series and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

highly recommend

Where's the movies?

What other book might you compare Blessedly Bound to and why?

It's the adult version of Twilight you didn't know you wanted but needed because this is SO MUCH BETTER.

Have you listened to any of Molly King’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not so there's nothing to compare it to but it wasn't bad.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My heart! Omg it was edge-of-the-seat, what's-going-to-happen-next, heart-pounding excitement. The character development really made you feel like your heart was going to burst from love the next minute break from sadness.

Any additional comments?

I absolutely cannot wait to get into book two! This novel really left off in a great place though that as a stand alone is a fantastic piece. I could easily see this as a movie on the big screen. Someone get working on that! You really feel the energy build as the novel goes and she gains her foothold in the world of Magick. It is a captivating story and I want more!

Love

Just quite boring

Sounded like an interesting premise and had good reviews. But not a lot happened. Disappointed
