Publisher's summary

Family matters.

With the help of his found family and his beloved Prince Sylvain, Lochlann Wilde has finally conquered the four oriels of the Wispwood. Now that the elemental gemstones are united in his amulet, Locke can earn Aphrodite’s favor.

Whatever that may be. But there’s plenty to do in the meantime, anyway. Catching up with his mom, for example, or exploring his true identity as a half-undine human. Sylvain’s hotness and histrionics keep him very busy, too.

But something strange is afoot at the academy. The arrival of a familiar face, a mythical mage, a living legend… except that no one even knew he was still alive.

Grand Summoner Baylor Wilde has returned to the Wispwood.

Wonderful Series

If this was the end of the Wild Hearts series, it was a wonderfully satisfying conclusion. That said, I hope our friends will see many more adventures together. Nazri Noor creates such marvelous characters that I actually miss them when their stories end. Noor and TJ Klune are my two favorite authors of all time, and given how much I read, that's saying something. I highly recommend this series.

Great story! Just wish they were a bit longer. Hope to see more adventures in the future!

A Fantastic Enjoyable Addition to this Series!

Bonds of Blood by Nazri Noor was truly an excellent and enjoyable addition to the Wild Hearts series. I was anticipating everything and I was so engaged with this audiobook. Greg Boudreaux as always did a fantastic job narrating and embodying each character perfectly, especially Loch and Sylvain's relationship dynamic! Loch, Sylvain, and their friends rise to the call of battle, yet this time around they have everything to lose if they do not excel in their quest. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book I will not spoil anything, but it is well worth the listen. Ultimately every book in this series has been engaging and so much fun! I have fallen in love with this series; I believe this is the last book of the series, but if not I look forward to more adventures. I look forward to future books by Nazri Noor!

Amazing end to a wonderful series

The final book in the this series was definitely all I hoped it would be. There were a lot of twists and I couldn’t have predicted most of them at all. I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite from this world that nazri created but I can definitely say that I loved everything about the wispwood and am very excited to see how the other magical academies show up in future series.

Short And Ahhhhh!

I was in recovery from my hysterectomy and I promised I wouldn't "read" (buy) any audio books until I returned to work so OF COURSE this book comes out and man was I tempted!

But I waited and here I am. It was horribly short but well worth it. It was peak Noor and Boudreaux. Very funny and silly, but also an engaging plot and turn of events. The shortness makes a lot things abrupt, but everything has built to these moments do it all made perfect sense.

Noor's writing was just on point! It's hard for me to explain because it is more something I feel rather than something articulate, but I was pulled in.

And Boudreaux! I know that raspy voice was doing him in and appreciate the effort. And of course everyone else's voices were top notch. So oddly solid that it was jarring sometimes.

Also, if I am ever tricked into an AI reading an audiobook (or writing, or even doing covers) I'd die. I appreciate the support on this niche part of the world!

Twisty family drama

Loch and Sylvain and crew go out with a bang. Expect appearances from everyone for the final battle. A very satisfying series ending that's full of family drama and twisty roads to the end.

Nothing less than an excellent audio performance by Greg Boudreaux.

The unexpected twist and turns made this book so amazing

This book is adventurous, sweet, romantic and so engaging loved all five books, and if it ended here I would be content. If there were another series or more books added to this collection, I would absolutely love that.

Great conclusion to the Wild Heart books

There are several surprises in this book as Nazri brings this series to its conclusion. In addition to his found family, Loch learns more about his blood family. He will find out whether blood is thicker than water.

The whole series is worth a listen! There are twists and turns, magical creatures, pocket dimensions, unexpected allies, steamy romance, magic, and more.

Greg Boudreaux does a masterful job narrating this series! Worth the listen!

I received a free copy of this audiobook for my honest review.

such a good series

I'm a bit sad this particular journey is over.
Nazri Noor is the shit. Guess I just have to wait to hear about the "Iron College" next.
Must Read for anyone who likes the genre.

Happy Endings

This is a good book. I was a tad disappointed rhat the main charecters didn't evolve enough to defeat the big boss but still a happy ending.
