Publisher's summary

A night of seduction and pleasure in exchange for information... 

Caro never should have consented to such a foolish agreement. Now she's on the run for her life with the very being who put her at risk. 

Sethios saw Caro as a challenge to be conquered. Something new to play with, to pass the time. But their mutual arrangement created a consequence neither of them anticipated. 

For the seer knows all. She predicts the future. And her newest prophecy changes everything. 

How far will Caro and Sethios go to protect their destiny and the fate of their unborn child? 

Sometimes love requires the ultimate sacrifice... 

"Drop the knife and place your palms against the window."

She released the weapon against her will. "That's not necessary," she growled as her hands touched the glass.

"As you lost, that's not your decision to make." He bent to retrieve the dagger. She had no idea what he did with the other but guessed he pocketed it.

"What now?" she groused, awaiting his next wave of compulsion.

"Quid pro quo, angel." He traced the sharp edge down her spine, hard enough for her to feel without drawing blood. "I bled for you, so you will bleed for me."

Her eyes widened. "Excuse me?"

"Shh." He used his opposite hand to gather her hair over one shoulder and kissed the back of her neck. "I'm still deciding where I wish to exact payment, darling. Don't spoil my fun."

Officially OBSESSED with this author...

This is the fourth book in the Immortal Curse series, which I was able to determine after a couple minutes of confusion and digging. Installment numbers for this series vary a bit based on where you look; however it seems this is due to a book containing bonus scenes and other fun.

As far as the series progression itself, I recommend reading this book 4th, after (#1) ‘Blood Laws’, (#2) ‘Forbidden Bonds’ and then (#3) ‘Blood Heart’.

This installment will always be one of my favorites simply for the fact that Foss managed to surprise me—this NEVER happens. The entire series is like a end-boss-level game of chess and the author manages to weave in some epic, surprising twists.

It also manages to be heart-wrenching near the end; such a rare quality I’m forever seeking, yet almost-never find. If it was at all possible for me to have any more respect than I already did for Foss, it no longer is. In this moment, she became a top favorite, and I will forever one-click anything and everything she’s involved in. I strongly recommend you do too … and I cannot stress that enough.

Foss is clearly a world-building mastermind.


Note:
I opted for the audiobook.
Narrators are great: soft, pleasant, smooth voices.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


THAT ENDING THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍



Quote(s):

“Never had he promised a woman forever … or even tomorrow.”


Surprise -
Sethios & Caro were found because of Stas compelling the ice cream shop guy.


One thing through me off: Ezekiel was portrayed in this installment with a higher-pitched voice and a southern accent, but in previous books had a deep, menacing voice and no accent. This took a bit of getting used to. If character continuity is a priority for you, you might want to opt for the ebook, though his parts are small.

Story reveals

There were so many “story reveals” in this book, I spent most of my time trying to overcome the shock (in the best way). I almost didn’t want to finish it because I knew how it would end, as it’s a prequel to Stas’s life. I highly recommend getting this whole series, but definitely go in order. Fair warning, all of Lexi’s books are highly addictive

This book explains what’s happening during the prequel to book one. It also explains the nature of several key characters and clears up which
Side, of the conflict, each character belongs to.

Emotional and powerful!!

This series just keeps getting better!! I absolutely love Caro & Sethios!! This story was more a prequel to the first 4 books, but it reveals alot of information you either didn't understand or needed to hear.I admit I was left raw emotionally so be prepared!!I adore how Lexi can tell the story & how you can picture it so clearly in your mind!!! It's absolutely amazing!! This book was amazing to listen to. The voices were perfect and flowed well together!! Definitely a well rehearsed & written story!

Lexi C. Foss is a brilliant writer and I’m so glad I started reading/listening to her.

Prequel

This is a great prequel that answers many questions left from the previous stories in the series. It is slightly spoilery for the book after this but I don’t feel to takes away from it. Narration was great and easy to follow along.

Wowzer. The series!

Oh my! Blood Bonds was one an amazing listen that while a prequel, isn't just history. I found that it contains imperative information that is necessary for the rest of the series. I would definitely encourage readers to not listen to this out of its order in the immortal curse series as it both contains spoilers for the previous books, and other information that holds relevance to the future in this series. I had to fight the tears with this one and the fact that it emotionally touched me, along with the fantastically intricate plot made this a really great story.
The narration by the hugely talented Sarah Puckett and Kale Williams really show their voice acting talents with their clear, expressive narration. The characters were clearly represented and their attitude and personalities really did come across well.

Such a fantastical world

Wow... this story just captured my imagination with the imaginary world built out of the author's imagination. I have enjoyed this series a lot. Lexi Foss can really take you away to a different world. The narration was amazing, I love Sarah Puckett. Kale Williams did a fantastic performance. This book is so good. I can't wait to start the series again.

Blown away

Love this series, but wow this book blew me away. SO many emotions. Don't want to give any spoilers but it is a tale of love and loss. Lexi C Foss can really bring you into her books. The narrators were amazing. Sarah Puckett is one of my favorite narrators. All in all a must read or listen! #Audiobookobsessionreviewer

WOW WOW WOW

This series is stunning. I didn't think it could get any better - this book proved me wrong.
The intricacies of the worldbuilding is mind boggling and the character creation is amazing!
I find myself lost in this world by choice and it's always a shock when I have to emerge into the real world.
The narration took this story that one step beyond.
Cant recommend highly enough!

This book is heartbreaking

I was not expecting that ending! I’m so happy I have the next book already to go. I’m really enjoying the characters, I will admit I lost the plot a little through this book but nothing to major. The performance from both Sarah and Kale is brilliant.

Enthralling listen with excellent narrators

Wow, what a brilliant heartfelt, emotional, beautiful but heart breaking story of reveals and revelations this was. It absolutely captured me, I loved it so much, but my heart is hurting now!!

That was my initial reaction after reading Blood Bonds and now almost two years later after having just finished listening to the audio version, it still stands.

The two narrators were excellent, their expressive voices brought this story to life giving me a very different but equally fantastic experience from the ebook.

Blood Bonds is the story of Sethios and Caro, Stas's parents, their unconventional and unexpected journey and the sacrifices they must make for love, to keep their daughter safe.
Although this is technically a prequel, I would advise reading the series in order, there are reveals here that I think would take away some of the suspense from the earlier books, but to take nothing away, this book was simply awesome!

I loved both Sethios and Caro, what a man Sethios is, a dominant alpha immortal who takes what he wants but is fascinated by the apparent innocence and lack of emotions from Caro and is determined to crack her hard shell. She has a wonderful journey of enlightenment, not all in the world is as she thought and her curiosity grows. Sethios is harsh at times, but his protective instincts soon kick in when both their lives are threatened and Caro is a lot tougher than she first seems. Their chemistry grows and their passion is sooo hot!

Would I recommend this series? Absolutely, Lexi C Foss is a phenomenal writer and is weaving the most amazing story full of depth and character. Just when you get an answer, two more questions pop up! I don't know where it's going, (I wish I could see inside the authors head) I only know I'm hooked and can't wait for what comes next. 5 huge stars

Thrilling, gripping, Heartbreaking!

I loved Sethios & Caro's story, it is witty, moving and ultimately heart-breaking, as the events are set in mortion for the final battle. With each book, the drama and suspense has built as the ground work for the overall plot was set up, and corruption revealed. The series has continued to surpass my expectations with every book, I can't wait for the next book, the narration has been wonderful.
