Blood Bound was incredible, urban fantasy at it's best! This being the 1st book in a new series I was thrilled that it didn't fall into the 1st. book curse. Blood Bound was smoothly written without the usual info dump in the start of a series. The information was given in a manner that was relevant to the storyline w/out boring the reader. I couldn't put it down. Rachel Vincent is amazing at character development and world building. Rachel Vincent has the ability to make the reader feel true emotions along with the characters. The skills that the characters possessed were highly original. A few POV change ups occurred, Olivia and then Cam. It was nice to see things from Cam's POV. I was engrossed w/the twists and turns of the storyline. The premise was clever and everything fit well together. By books end everything was resolved while leaving an "OH SHIT!" cliffhanger. I loved the strife between the two syndicates. I can't wait to learn more about Towers side of things. Even though Ruben is a villain I found him very engaging. Whereas I usually have a hard time reading about the "enemy" I found myself wanting to read more about him. I want to read the next installment of this series right now! Will Olivia sign a deal with the Devil? I kind of hope so, I do love the "Devil" in this series...
