Bleh...another mediocre book.
I do have to give credit to the author who showed the downsides to being a vampire, having to watch all those you love age and die. I'll admit I shed a few tears in certain scenes of this book and at the same time I think some great characters got killed off. We do get introduced to new characters but I think a series needs those constant supporting characters to keep it going. If Devlin and Justine were in it more I think it would have More...

I'm in love! I like that you can encounter love, friendship, adventure, and mayhem in every single book in this series that you pick up. I've been waiting for this book, and it was so worth the wait. It was fabulous! Jenna McClain is by far one of my favorite writer's. Her books are about people and connections. It makes me feel like you belong to a part of something whenever you read one of her books. I also like that the characters are relatable... to?. (Not a real word?... Do I need a hyphen?

Bound by Cin by Jenna Maclaine
Paranormal Romance- December 29th, 2010
4 ½ stars
Bound by Cin is a exhilarating read that is sure to please devoted fans of the series and become a great find for lovers of paranormal, vampires and Urban Fantasy (although readers of very dark and moody fantasy may find it a little light). Jenna Maclaine skillfully writes a novel brimming with danger, mystery and mythical characters that raise the stakes for Cin and her friends.

Another 4.5 star book in the Cin Craven series! I normally don't love historicals but this series is written with a more current vocabulary and I think that makes it more platable for me. Cin and her vampire Champion husband, Michael, are so totally in love still when this installment takes place - about 50 years after the previous book ends - that I got misty-eyed in a couple spots and sincerely coveted Cin's marraige. Their co-horts in The Righteous (Devlin and Justina) are separated in muc

Cin gets summoned home to Ravenworth. Her cousin has been kidnapped by a Georgian plantation owner. Cin and Michael must go to Devil's Island to try and get her back. Only problem is that there is a user of dark magic on the island, and it calls to Cin's magic, making it hard to control.
I absolutely adore this series! I love that Cin has ties to the human world that keep her and the Righteous grounded. They are all great characters, strong, loyal, and easy to love. This book is More...

I haven't seen anything about a 4th book - but she left it well open for another story to take place - or maybe another series that takes place along with this - like Rechelle Mead is doing with Vampire Academy and Bloodlines .... That would be cool!!! A whole new generations for C More...

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book. As I've said in my review of Grave Sins (book #2 in this series), I was pretty disappointed in it. So, I wasn't sure how I would like this one. Fortunately, though, I really liked this one and I thought it was back up to par with the first book in the series.
This story takes place in 1862, so this is 47 years since Cin was first turned into a vampire and 34 years after the last book. This time around, life has changed a lot since Cin w More...

I have read as many of the Cin Craven books as I can, and all in the past week, so if any of this is repetative or if I go over something I used in a status update, I'm sorry. I got a bit confused by reading a Cin Craven short story out of order.
Now, this book has it all. There is a haunted plantation, a cat who only lets the ghost pet her, a murderer, a voodoo queen, Ares, the god of War, and Morrigan, the Celtic goddess.
And vampires. How could I forget the vampires.

Summoned by a family member Raina, Cin finds out her cousin Claire has been kidnapped and taken to America. Cin also finds out a lot of those she loved during her human life have died due to old age which makes her question her own immortality as a vampire and witch. She promises Raina s More...

Yet another fun installment in the series. This book takes place nearly 50 years after Cin was turned, and the first few chapters made me cry.
It was great to see both Cin and Michael come to terms with Cin's magic. I only hope that Devlin and Juliana can do the same - they are Cin's family, and she needs them.
I think my only real criticism of this book was that we didn't get much of Devlin and Juliana. *pout*
Can't wait to see more of Morrigan's plan play More...

Okay - so I thought Grave Sins was going to be my favorite in the series... I mean the necromancer twist was unexpected... but Belladonna was no big surprise... she was just too convenient a scapegoat.
But this one I really liked. This is my new favorite Cin Book.
Vampires, Voodoo, not to mention a God of war. Yum.

I really wish I hadn't read the third book first...well this wouldn't be the first time. Good news...it can be read first or simply read alone. It give enough background on the characters to help the disclose the familiarity between the characters.
I will be going back to read the first two books (in order). I will learn how everyone came to be together and how Cin Craven was turned.
Great read, engaging, exciting and refreshingly pleasant.

Meh. I really liked the other two books in this series, but Bound By Sin just didn't do it for me. It was a pretty easy read, so I couldn't give it less than three stars, but I doubt I'll rush out to get the next book.
I was a little annoyed that the description on the back made it seem like Cin and Michael were going to have some big fight over her using black magic that would put their love and loyalty to the ultimate test (insert dramatic music here). When in reality, he just kinda scow More...
