I was drawn into Stevenson’s world of Blood Bound right away. Her paranormal world is unique with its own set of rules and Stevenson has a talent for grabbing readers into her novel and preparing them for the rules of her world, without being preachy and without losing her audience. The world of Blood Bound is open to any and all otherworldly creatures, creating a piece I love where anything is possible.Stevenson’s characters—twin brother and sister, demon slaying, but kicking duo—are the kinds of heroes I love for being flawed. Their demon slaying reputation is the stuff of legend, but their personal lives are kind of a mess. Right away, both Shaun and Sarah are likable heroes with a brother/sister relationship that is humorous and exactly what you would expect from siblings who once shared a womb and now live and work together.Stevenson is a master at realistic and funny dialogue. Her sense of humor isn’t over the top or flamboyant, but subtle and fits right in with the dark surroundings of the piece.This book closes beautifully while still making room for the next in the series. I would highly recommend this book to readers who love paranormal/supernatural themes, flawed heroes who know how to kick butt, and readers who are tired of reading the same old vampire novel.
