Bound by Duty, book one in the Bound series: Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she's an Elder, but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control, but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she's betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and doesn't even know his name.
Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky southern girl, or fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is, not what she will become.
As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head win the battle, or her heart?
Continue Amelia’s story in Bound by Spells and Bound by Prophecy. Then, enjoy the bonus novella, Bound Together.
Stormy Smith is the author of the number one bestselling Bound series. She calls Iowa’s capital home now, but was raised in a tiny town in the Southeast corner of the state. She grew to love books honestly, having a mom that read voraciously and instilled that same love in her. She knew quickly stories of fantasy were her favorite, and even as an adult gravitates toward paranormal stories in any form.
Writing a book had never been an aspiration, but suddenly the story was there and couldn’t be stopped. When she isn’t working on, or thinking about, her books, Stormy’s favorite places include bar patios, live music shows, her yoga mat or anywhere she can relax with her husband or girlfriends.
Lovely and uplifting. The author has promised to continue the series - with the range of charters to choose from and as the series has so far proved this could go anywhere!
I really liked this series. The characters are well developed, and written in a way to make you care. There are quirks that surprise me, and many times I laughed out loud.
I loved the originality of this series and some of the twists and turns, however a lot of the major plot twists were a little predictable and there were a lot of slow and laborious bits that didn't really need to be so. I felt that some of the characters were a bit 2 dimensional but they had heart and power of conviction that made them likable despite this. I particularly liked the themes of racism that ran through this series since it is such a prevalent issue into days society. All in all this was a good series and a fun audible read for working on my crochet projects.

I was recommended this series by a friend who listened to the audio version. She did not disappoint me with her suggestion! I fell in love with the characters, locations, and magic. I read all three books back to back and enjoyed the last .5 hunting to stories to come.
This whole series had me from the first page, I fell in love with characters over and over and cried along side of them when they were happy, estatic, scared and beyond upset. I cannot wait to keep continuing the journey with them In the next books. This is definitely one of my favourite series iv read in a long time.
