Erica O’Rourke wraps up the Torn Trilogy with a tidy, red magical bow. With Bound come ultimate tests, for beloved heroine, Mo Fitzgerald. From working for the Outfit to carefully stepping her way through personal relationships, this quasi-magical girl has a full plate of magical and non-magical drama.

A world where magic doesn’t interfere in the lives of Flats would be paradise for Mo. But, there’s more to the magic than any of the Arcs know and Mo’s Flat life is quickly bleeding from normal to toxically dangerous. Attacks from the Seraphim leader, Anton, are bolder and more vicious. Luc is still gunning for Mo’s heart and Colin’s edging further away. While Mo has to navigate life with her father back from prison, the Arcs are counting on Mo to keep the magic safe. The secrets between family and friends are darker and harder to keep under wraps, not to mention juicier! With all the commotion inside of Bound it seems like a shame for it to be the last chapter in Mo’s story.

The trials Mo faces are unlike any she’s had to face in Torn or Tangled. It’s come to the point of unfair for there to be more reasons to cry, to laugh, or to scream in fear at the end of the trilogy when readers are just getting know the depth of this outstanding young woman’s character. Mo’s stubborn personality has been consistent through the series, but in Bound she’s more skilled in having her voice heard. Courageous and determined are Mo’s middle names and she wears them proudly. Her enemies still underestimate her and it’s all she needs bring them down.

Action-packed and greatly alluring, the finale, Bound, keeps readers on the edge of their seats and praying for a happy ending. The successful completion of Erica O’Rourke’s first teen series makes her even more of an author to watch!
