Synopsis
It's been ten years since Bitten, the first novel in Kelley Armstrong's New York Times bestselling Otherworld series. In that time hundreds of thousands of fans have ravenously devoured the adventures of Armstrong's witches, demons, and werewolves. Now, in Spell Bound, she brings them all together for her most sweeping tale yet.
Savannah Levine is in terrible danger, and for once she's powerless to help herself. At the heartbreaking conclusion of Waking the Witch, Savannah swore that she would give up her powers if it would prevent further pain for a young orphan. Little did she know that someone would take her up on that promise.
And now, witch-hunting assassins, necromancers, half-demons, and rogue witches all seem to be after her. The threat is not just for Savannah; every member of the Otherworld might be at risk. While most of her fellow supernaturals are circling the wagons at a gathering of the council in Miami, Savannah is caught on the road, isolated from those who can protect her and unable to use her vast spell-casting talent, the thing she counts on most. In a story that will change the shape of the Otherworld forever, Armstrong gathers Elena, Clay, Paige, Lucas, Jamie, Hope, and other beloved characters, who soon learn that the greatest threat to supernaturals just may come from within.
Review
If you've loved the Women of the Otherworld series up to this point, as I have, you will quite simply be amazed by Spell Bound. This book takes the series to unforeseen levels of danger, intrigue, action and romance. Everything that has come before culminates into something completely epic in Spell Bound, leading us to the final book in the series.
I've always loved the way Kelley Armstrong has rotated main characters in the Women of the Otherworld series, allowing readers to really get to know the the ladies one on one. When I realized Spell Bound was another Savannah book, right on the heels of Waking the Witch, I was slightly dismayed. I should have knows that Armstrong had good reason for putting Savannah in the lead two books in a row. Although we didn't always realize it, the entire series has been building around Savannah and as the series comes to a close, she obviously needs to be in the forefront. While Waking the Witch was completely Savannah's book, Spell Bound is more half her, half everyone else. The gangs all here, Paige, Lucas, Elena, Clay, Jeremy, Jaime, Adam, Cassandra, Sean, etc., gearing up for the major battles coming in the future.
Spell Bound is the best book in the series thus far, which is saying a lot given the magnificence of the Women of the Otherworld. It sets the tone just right to lead the reader into the conclusion of the series. Spell Bound is tense, exciting and will leave the reader desperate for more.
