Another brilliant story in the series, well worth reading if you enjoy UF.

As Sara is about to sign the oath Jake's wife enters the room and tells Sara she has inherited the Tower Syndicate.

Just at Sara find this out Kris Daniels (who was intr More...

Spoilers

-The plot was okay, although it was somewhat cliched. The heroine, Sera, finds out she's inherited her bio-daddy's criminal empire. Naturally, Sera doesn't care about the money, status or power.
We all know 'good' heroines have to be humble, and can't possibly be materialistic, money hungry or ambitious. Heaven forbid, a woman who craves money and power! Those kinds of women are all cold, evul and whore-ish… None of them have hearts! Why can male characters in fiction chase money and pow More...

Many people ask me why I love urban fantasy books. This book is the answer. I have one word: AMAZING! Dark, fast-paced, full of action and emotions, this story made me laugh, cry and keep turning the pages! The depth of the characters and their suffering before they found their peace, are two of the things that you have to look when you read a book from this series. I loved this series since I read the first book and I have to admit that I will definitely re-read all the series!

Here we have the More...

I was lucky enough to hear Rachel Vincent speak earlier this year at The Harlequin Blogger Summit. Having already enjoyed her Shifter's series, I ordered Blood Bound and Shadow Bound to read in preparation for her visit. Though I didn't have the time to review either novel I devoured them both and gave them each 41/2 stars.

In general I prefer urban fantasy to paranormal romance but what I love about this series is how well it combines the two. Oath Bound, like the other installments, is gritty, More...

Out of all the new releases in April, why did I read this last? I must have forgotten how awesome this series is!
New character, Sera Brandt is Jake Tower's unknown, illegitimate child. When her entire family is murdered, she wants justice. Who else do you turn to for information, and a hit man? The family that she has stayed hidden from her entire life, the mafia like Tower syndicate.
Kris is determined to keep his sisters safe this time. He couldn't protect Kori and Kenley when they were first More...

For me this wasn't as good as the previous books, but still an enjoyable read. I really enjoy the characters and the very interesting world Vincent has created here. The ongoing story is so interesting and complex. I can't wait to see what happens next. I can't help but wonder more about the complicated psychic who had seen the future and manipulated all of these interesting people to get a specific outcome. While frustrating as the characters see how this loved friend worked things to a specifi More...

I've really enjoyed this trilogy. I think this world is very interesting. I love the characters. I'm sad that this was only a trilogy. I think Ms. Vincent could've gone further with it. I love the Skills that people have and how it is a blessing and a curse. The end of this particular story has a big twist that I didn't see coming.

Once again, Rachel Vincent is great at world building. In this world, some people are born with Skills. There is a mafia of sorts (also called syndicates) tha More...

Reviewed by: Rabid Reads

In true Rachel Vincent fashion, Oath Bound weaves a complex tale where relationships go from every day complicated to an unravelable tangle of blood oaths and family ties. A small oversight quickly snowballs into the biggest blunder in Tower Syndicate history and Sera gets swept away into a world she’s spent her whole life hiding from and knows absolutely nothing about, and that’s only chapter 1! The romance is understated yet equally as significant as the action-driven p More...

I don't know if this is the last book in the series, but it seems like it could be as by the end things seem all wrapped up.

I found Sera to be funny at the start, her righteous indignation at being kidnapped to the House of Crazy was great, especially as Kris kept stating that he didn't really kidnap her. From Sera's perspective the house was definitely crazy, but she managed to fit in pretty good, especially as time went on.

I hated what Sera went through, hated that she had to keep secrets, but More...

Final novel in a trilogy!!? No! I refuse. I want more. How did I miss that this was only going to be three books? I really loved this world that Rachel Vincent Created and I am not ready to see it go.



Not to mention, this was my least favorite of the three Unbound novels. While I absolutely loved the first two, I only liked this one. Sera and Kris didn't grow on me like Olivia and Cam or Kori and Ian. I wasn't up out of my seat cheering for them. I didn't like the whole kidnapping routine at the More...

Yet another fantastic book by Rachel Vincent, I couldn't put it down. The characters were as fun and engaging as before, I did find it a little hard remembering every one at first but then it felt like getting back in touch with old friends. I can't believe she isn't planning anymore I'm gutted this world is just as fantastic as Faythe Sanders world. Please please write another one.

People in possession of time-travelling machines keep rating this book way before it is to be published :). 16 ratings are already here :) Thank goodness for time-travellers or we wouldn't know what to expect from the future!

BTW. Oath Bound (#3) is a definite to-read as soon as I get my hands on it)

This is a great end to the trilogy. I was fully invested with Sera and Kris. I loved seeing Liv & Cam, Kori & Ian, and Kenley & Van. Gran was great. The ending was good, but not completely out of left field. Rachel Vincent did a great job with these books. It was such an amazing plot line.

Another great book by Rachel. I think it was better than the second book but I still love Olivia and Cams book the most. I don't like that this is the last book of the series because I still don't feel like we've gotten total closure. It just feels like there is more to talk about. I'm still curious about Noelle and I love the characters and I hope that Rachel will decide to continue this series again! It doesn't even feel like its been what, two, three years since this series started! I love th More...

Amo esta serie y pienso que , dentro de la fantasía urbana y el paranormal romance , es de lo mejor que hay . Teniendo en cuenta cuanta es mi adoración por los personajes y elmundo desarrollado por la autora , es imposible que me decepcione ...

sin embargo , este tardó demasiado (ciento y pico de páginas al menos) en pasar al desarrollo de las acciones y en esas páginas muchos diálogos eran repetitivos y no llevaban a ningún lado . Después de sufrir un poco esos primeros capitulos , sí llega AL F More...

Overall, wasn't too impressed. I loved Kori but the whole fact that they pretty much ended her character and put a new one in her place, made me turn away from the novel. This whole novel is pretty much a walking cliche. I think Rachel screwed the pooch on this one.

Is this truly the end?! Why are there so many unanswered questions?

The Tower syndicate has fallen but what about Liv and Cam?

An enjoyable read, but not Vincent's best work. The whole time it felt like the story was lacking something I just couldn't quite put my finger on.

There is nothing better than finishing a fantabulous series with a great big smile on your face. After soooo much tragedy in the Unbound trilogy, it was nice to see the walls come tumbling down in Oath Bound.

Rachel Vincent is dark, twisted, skilled beyond belief, and has grown to be one of my top urban fantasy authors. I can't wait to read her next project. I don't care what she's selling; I'm buying it! Full review to come.

Love this series and loved this book up until the end. Both of the previous books had a complete story but this one ends with a lot of unanswered questions which makes it even harder to wait for the next one. I loved Sera and Kris overall but was annoyed by Kris blaming himself for something that made no sense. Definetly reading the next one thoug I hope it goes back to Cam and Olivia's story. I feel like more needs to happen there.

best of the series. Vincent has gathered skill in shifting POV, creating seamless changes for the reader. Story sweet, but not trite.

I'm sad that this is the end of this series. It's so open for more. It's a great universe and different from anything else I'd ever read. I highly suggest this. The characters are witty and human.

I am so sad that this trilogy is finished. All three if them were absolutely amazing and engrossing and stunning. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends.
