About the Book:
MAVERICK:
I might have been a crappy excuse for a big brother in the past, but now I’m making up for lost time…
And time isn’t the only thing that’s lost.
So is my sister, Astrid.
So, I do what any good brother would do—I go after her.
Concealing my true identity, I attend Blood Rose Academy as a professor of potions. And along for the ride is my new wife, Taliyah.
Not only am I hoping we can find Astrid, but I’m really hoping we find her alive.
ASTRID:
Even though I definitely have a thing for vampires, that doesn’t mean I wanted to become one…
And it definitely didn’t mean I wanted to be blooded by a vampire psychopath.
But here we are.
Well, here I am anyway—stuck inside the cellar of an old store on the outskirts of Blood Rose Academy and under the control of my new vampire sire, Valserak.
One thing he’s not betting on, though, is the fact that the fae can survive becoming the undead with their powers intact.
And guess what? I’m half fae.
So the first chance I get, I cut a portal to the Autumn Court in search of my father so I can recruit his help against Valserak and the other vampires who are gearing up for Blood War Three.
Little do I know who I’m about to run into…

My Review:
I was so excited to get my hands on Blood Bond, Book 2 in Astrid’s Haven Hollow spin-off. I was NOT disappointed. I devoured this book.
I have loved the Haven Hollow series since book one. Full of wonderful characters, excellent storylines, and a perfectly created setting, I immerse myself in each and every book. There are multiple spin-offs that focus on one of the main characters, and Blood Bond is told from Astrid and Maverick’s POV. Astrid was finally able to go to Blood Rose Academy and be properly trained in witch magic. Things in book 2 have just gotten worse for Astrid. Maverick and Taliyah find themselves concealing their identities and infiltrating Blood Rose Academy to find Astrid.
I love Astrid's character and love that she got her own spin-off. Astrid is a wonderfully written character. She's so likable and her attitude and personality are vastly different than everyone else’s at Blood Rose. I love the twists and turns the authors take the characters and readers through.
The series also just continues to get better and better with every story. Blood Bond is the second book in the Blood Rose Academy series (and book 27 in the Haven Hollow series) by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
