This is book 2 of the Pack Bound series with the Werewolves and Witches fighting evil and break the ancient curse. This book is the story for Bronwyn and River as the beast needs to be drawn out of River. This is a good paranormal that has two groups fighting together to get rid of the evil that has engulfed the pack for so long. There are at least two more books in the series. Fans of the paranormal will love this story. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

eARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Usually this type of book is right down my alley and I just devour them in 2-3 days. It took me more than a month to finish "Moon Bound". I found it boring and tedious and utterly predictable. The only different thing was the place but with so little context it took me about 2/3 of the book to realize it's set in Australia. The female lead - Bronwyn - annoyed me more often than not and I found myself urging her to grow a backbone and confront the people in her life every couple of pages. Had she done that this book could have been shortened by at least a third. Add to it ridiculous statements straight out of a bodice ripper and I was gritting my teeth throughout most of the book. Same goes for River, the male lead, whom I wanted to smack upside the head for his constant morose bemoaning of his fate. Add to it the unnecessary long descriptions and I was tempted to just give it up and move on to something else.

I really expected to like this book and maybe it's my current mood or the fact I'm rereading some of the very best UF series at the moment but I just couldn't get into this. I couldn't muster even a shred of sympathy for the characters and as a result didn't form any emotional attachment. Personally I wouldn't continue the series. Maybe if I had picked it up at another time I would have been raving how much I love it but now I just couldn't feel it.

I have to say that the Pack Bound series is off to a great start, the first book Pack Bound was an exciting read and now Moon Bound is one thrilling read that had me glued to the pages.
Bronwyn and River are strong, compelling characters that readers can’t help but fall for and cheer them on toward their happily ever after, their romance is full of emotional turbulence and the story invokes a gamete of feelings in readers throughout. The romance is sweet and the chemistry between Bronwyn and River has sparks flying but due to several issues has them both turning away which certainly keeps readers filled with suspense.

The plot is fast paced and full of thrills, intrigue and danger with the pack’s enemies coming back to try and destroy them once again adding suspense and excitement to story while also keeping reading readers on the edge of their seat with anticipation of just what those enemies will do next and what the Pack will do in retaliation. Oh and the antagonist is one that still sends shivers down my spine and has me continually trying to guess just what she is going to come up with next.

The Pack Bound world is definitely fascinating and full of intrigue which ensures that I am going to keep coming back for more, but while I find some things unexpected, there are a couple of predictable elements but not enough to keep me from enjoying the story and I can’t wait to visit with Pack McVale again in Shifter Bound which will be released in April.

I received a copy of Moon Bound by Leisl Leighton from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was intrigued by the summary and wanted to like this novel, but it was a chore to keep reading at times. The characters and threads of plot could have been pulled together better (more linear). There were flashes of real goodness, but then the story would get bogged down or off track.

Also, the primary characters' interactions seemed stilted and did not have great chemistry together.

I would try reading another book by Leisl Leighton to see if a future novel would improve in pacing and character development, but I wouldn't re-read this novel.

Moon Bound is the second book in Leisl Leighton’s Pack Bound series and this story is definitely far better than book one. A fabulous storyline, with exciting characters and an intensity that leads the reader to want so much more.

I’m absolutely looking forward to the next book in this wonderful series.

The continuing saga of the Pack Bound series, Moon Bound bring us Wiccan Healer-Witch Bronwyn Kincaid and Wolf, River Collins. This is a great addition to the series with a fabulous storyline and engaging character I found myself glued intently throughout. I will be recommending this book and series to readers and look forward to reading more
