Dani is a sweet girl just starting college and unaware of her parentage. Lukas was a perfect boyfriend until Dani left for college and I hate it when authors turn a perfectly nice guy into a bad guy just because they need the female protagonist single again. Well, they could have just broken up when she moved away.
It was nice to read from Chase’s POV as well since we got more information from him about Dani than she was aware of.
The story had a nice pace and a few surprising twists. Although w...more

Love, sex, action, and mystery Cat Miller's debut novel Unbound has it all and more! Be forewarned, this is not your typical love story. Danielle Vaughn is violently thrown into a world that she could have never expected and as each level of deceit is lifted she finds a new part of herself. It also seems that for every part of herself that Daniel finds she also finds a new lover, all of whom play a vital role in the story and I just couldn't help but get invested in each and every one of them.

I hate giving negative reviews, but this novel annoyed me. There were frequent grammatical errors that the author should have been able to catch if she didn't want to invest in an editor. Microsoft Word should have picked up several of them. Cat Miller constantly switched the point of view, mixed her pronouns and never explained who was speaking until several sentences into the dialog. She switched between past and present events without warning and rarely bothered to describe the setting of any...more

I have read many a Vampire story in my life and especially in the past year as a reviewer. This is by and large one of the best stories I have read thus far. Dani, the Vamp with the odds against her, prevails, growing stronger, bolder and after a few lovers, she finds the love of her life.
In the end, the Vamps and Dani has the same nemesis. A rogue Vamp who reminds of Sylar in Hero’s. He needs to drain his victims to absorb their powers. But Dani, has many powers, powers Vamps don’t normally hav...more

Before Mason has time to tell Griff they aren't really dead, Griff bonds to a vampire. Years later Soleil, now known as Dani, is entering college. She has no idea of her history or heritage. Strange things start happening to her and she is also unintention...more
I really liked this book. I love vampires in fact there is not much about vampires I don't know (classes taken, many many hours of research done.) The only problem with that is I tend to not like many vampire related books (shows I will watch because I end up being able to play the same dvd for background noise for days) but books they can get a bit much for me. But lately there is a great group of paranormal writers out there and this is one of them! I would suggest checking this book out! For...more
This amazing book grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let go until the end. I stayed up into the early morning to finish this book. I had to know what happened next with Dani and Cat Miller didn’t disappoint me.
Dani is everything you want in a heroine. She is smart, sassy, protective, beautiful, and unique. But she has always stood out from everybody. But what makes her unique in the human world makes her exceptional in the vampire world. A world she didn’t know existed or that she is part...more

"Unbound" kept me from getting sleep and doing laundry. I simply couldn't put it down. I immediately adored Danielle and felt like I was right there with her every step of the way as she discovered college, love, and a deep, dark family secret. She's a sympathetic character whose company you will enjoy keeping throughout the book. Danielle will never let you down, even though she never stops questioning herself, her beliefs, and her choices. This causes her pain, surprise, and sometimes even bli...more
I initially downloaded this book when it was on a free weekend. It was about vampires, so I figured, "Why not?". I was not expecting to like it so much! The story grabbed me from the beginning and took me on the adventures of Dani as she discovered her heritage as a half vampire. While this book is no longer on a free weekend, I can honestly say it was worth full price. I am looking forward to reading book two, which recently was put up on Amazon (and I am sure everywhere else).

I received this book from the author to give an honest review.
WOW, AMAZING! Where do I start. Unbound had me from the beginning, and left me wanting more. The ending has me wanting to jump into book 2 right away. I think I honestly may go with withdrawals, I really want to know what is going to happen next. If you enjoy, romance, suspense, action, vampires then you should really go and pick up this book.

I got this book on Amazon one day when it was free. I am glad to have seen the link going around on Facebook. And I must say that everyone was right about this book!!
This was an amazing read. I love the whole story line. I felt a real connection to Danielle and to her story. I felt the emotions she felt, along with all the character, it was amazing. I loved the fact that Kanielle was a regular student, with diffrent flings, and the hometown boyfriend. It makes her more human, and more down to...more

Danielle Vaughan and her mother have always had each other as her father left when she was young. Unbeknownst to Dani, her mother is psychic and always seems to know when her daughter is in trouble or needs a shoulder to cry on. Dani has left for college now and is about to discover the family secret, she is not just human and this secret will rock the vampire world. Add to the mix the appearance of her father, two half sisters and her grandparents who forced her father to abandon them when she...more
This free book was even better than I thought. This is how the trilogy gets you. They start by making the first book free, making you fall in love, then you have to pay for the rest to see how it will all end up. I started reading it and fell in love instantly. I couldn’t believe a book this good was hiding under my radar.

I was literally blown away by this book. I could not for the life of me put this book down. I stayed up and read it until I was to tired, then had to get up early and read the ending. What a ending at that! It will leave you with a cliffhanger! So you need to brace yourself for an awesome and exceptional journey!

Umm.....I am utterly speechless. I can't begin to explain the awesomeness that is this book! I was completely enthralled by it.
The characters were so well developed. The emotions in this book were so gut wrenching. I could literally feel everything that Danielle was feeling. She was a true heroine.
The guys..wow, scrumptious and yummy! The string of lovers in this book is naughty and intense. Charlie, Chase, Cayden, even Lucas were sexy. The author made me want to jump into the pages with them:)

You know a book is good when you share the emotion the characters are feeling. Well I did just that it was like I felt everything Dani ( Danielle) AKA Soleil felt throughout this whole story. Cat as created a wonderful cast of characters. Characters that you will love and adore and other well ok we will say despise. I know there was a few characters that I would like to kick their ass lol.

This was a book that I actually finished all the way through, which is rare for me. The book was pretty good starting from the beginning.
One thing I didn’t like was that the love triangle was overly done. For a long time, I didn’t know who she actually loved. I felt at she led the guys on. She had a boyfriend from high school who she liked. She had a college boyfriend who was human and slept with him after meeting him a few days . They went out on one date and she “BANGED him”.

The book has a different, but in a good way, view of vampires, and the way they "are". The storyline is amazing and I had a love/hate/love relationship with most of the characters. My emotions were sent on a roller coaster ride. I had several OMG, Oh no, Oh my, and Oh hell no moments throughout the book. I stayed up late reading, and always said I will stop when I get to a good stopping point, which never came. I would read unt...more

Unbound is the first of The Forbidden Novels by Cat Miller. The book follows Danielle Vaughn on her journey of self discovery. This story is action packed and full of twists and turns. The characters are completely relate able and I found myself laughing and crying right along with Danielle. I loved every chapter of it. There was never a moment that felt drawn out or forced. Cat Miller put an amazing spin to the typical vampire story. You really get a feel of being in the moment and there with D...more
I had such high hopes for this book. I really really wanted it to be good. It can be so hard to find a good vampire book these days. It started out good but just turned into horrible dribble. I'll give it one thing though; it wasn't your typical romance.....
It was something much, much worse.
Buckle up boys and girls, your in for one hell of a rant.
The Vampires:
I hate too perfect vampires. I cannot stand when a supernatural book has a species that has virtually no weaknesses. They can basically...more

I really, really tried to like this book, i did.. i swear. I actually truly was sweeped up at first, then about 30% of the way through I looked up the reviews for this book and found all the praise for it, so I continued. I should have none to stop then. I'm now at around 60% and I can't go any further... like really.. does this girl have no flaws? Does anyone NOT like her? Is she not instantly turned on by ever man? Seriously, shallow. I love the characters individually but when you put them al...more
This book has got to be one of the most emotionally engaging books I have read to date. I don't know if it was because I read it during an emotional time for me or what, but this book had me laughing, crying...and laughing until I was crying. The main character was very easy to relate to for me, so following her through the story was intense sometimes. There were characters that I loved and characters that I just downright hated, and in the end I just couldn't decide whose team I was on! I liter...more
My Thoughts:
I absolutely love this series! I almost always read YA books so this was a first for me in this genre. There was a lot of moments when I was like " what! Did she really write that!?". There is a lot of "adult action" (lol) in this book and for me it was very refreshing to read a book that is not tiptoing around a subject that always hangs in the air even in YA books.
The story itself was awesome and new for me. The story was kind of raw and exactly what I think a vampirestory shoul...more

This story had an interesting plot line with a half-human half-vampire main character. I found myself getting a little impatient with all the possible male love interests and their stupid choices, but I was happy with the way the main character, Dani, strove to find a guy that would love her for herself, and be faithful to her. Because of all the angst, I was tempted to give it a 3-star rating, but I bumped it up a bit because the story was engaging and the plot was fresh, so I was invested in w...more

This is an author to watch in the upcoming years.
She is very talented.
Unbound is not a standard boy meets girl.
This was even a free book on Amazon.
I am still having a hard time believing I got this book for free.
It is a page turner of "what will happen next".
It is like the series twilight but hotter vamps.
I will warn readers.
If you have a problem with a girl that "plays the field" this may not be the book for you.
The book does leave loose ends for a second book.

I think I have fallen in love with mostly all the male characters in this book. Griffin will always be # 1.. I enjoyed Tessa and Griffin's relationship. I wish we could have learned more about them. The book is about their daughter which Griffin was unaware was even still alive. Dani aka Soleil is a coming of age teenager/demi-vamp and just is figuring out who she is in this world. She learns very quickly and is thrown into a totally different world than she has known for the last nineteen years...more
Started off loving it ended up wondering how a good book manages to fall so hard on its ass it breaks both butt cheeks. Danielle turned from being a complete innocent to (in her words) a vamp slut. God that girl could fall in love fast. For me it made the whole concept of her and chase as soul mates totes unbelievable. not a single male in this book who I could truly Cheer on. There were toooooo many. It was starting to feel like an Anita Blake novel. And I can't see that changing in the next bo...more
I got this book as a freebie; thinking I would give it a try....unsure if a college theme vampire would catch my interest. OMG! I was blown away and sucked into the story. I had not expected the level of characters or storyline. This is a layered story that peels away more and more surprises at every turn.

I loved it! Unbound kept me away from my laptop, which is very hard to do. I found myself needing to know what was going to happen next. I love a book that has me screaming for the characters to figure something out or do something quicker. I was doing this the whole time I was reading Unbound.
It is hard when you have so many characters to do them all justice and help the reader connect to them. Somehow Cat was able to do that, and I cared about what happened to every character. I also couldn't...more
