Chained by Night
by Larissa Ione
Book 2 in the MoonBound Vampire Clan series
THE FUTURE OF HIS TRIBE
Leader of the vampire clan MoonBound, Hunter will do
what he must to save his people from extinction—or worse, a torturous eternity
as vampire slaves and subjects of human experimentation. To keep his enemies at
bay, he has agreed to mate a rival clan leader’s daughter in return for peace
between the clans and an ally in the looming war with the humans.a
THE LOVER OF HIS SOUL
But survival comes at a price. First, Hunter must break
an ancient curse by successfully negotiating three deadly tests. Then he must
resist the searing passions of the gorgeous vampire warrior he despises but is
bound to mate. Will Hunter stay true to his word? Or will he risk everything
for the woman he really loves: the vampire seductress’s identical twin sister?
Lead Characters:
Hunter
Aylin
I am thrilled to say that I loved this book! This is
exactly what I’m looking for in a PNR.
1) This story features an honor-bound hero willing to
sacrifice for his happiness for the security of his clan 2) a woman who, due to
a physical disability, has been underestimated and abused most of her
life. She blossoms under these
circumstances. 3) There is serious tension between the clans and with humans
whose prejudices are being riled.
Hunter has made a bargain to wed a rival clan’s princess. She has a reputation for being a bitch, and
she is. Accompanying her to the nuptials
is her twin sister, Aylin. Aylin is born
with a deformed leg and has been abused and treated worse than a second-class citizen
within her clan. Because of this, she has had to learn to hone her other
capabilities and she is a survivor. Due
to unforeseen circumstances, Aylin ends up on a Quest with Hunter, where Aylin
shows her fortitude, intelligence, courage and loyalty. Hunter is drawn to her
light:
But
Aylin had gotten under his skin, and for all his experience fighting enemies,
he had no defense against a female whose strength humbled him, whose voice
soothed him, and whose touch drove him wild.
I love an underdog story and watching Aylin’s overcome
her past and shine is pure pleasure.
Seeing how she stands up and wins the hero makes me feels like all is
right in the world. Unfortunately, this
all takes place in a world where the vampires are up against an increasingly
prejudiced and paranoid human population.
They are outnumbered and outgunned. A confrontation is looming in the horizon.
There are great secondary characters. The bad guys are really bad and the good guys
are complicated: Rasha, Samult, Myne, and Baddon. These folks have many layers and I’m looking
forward to future books to see how the author takes us down to the core.
Because this is a Larissa Ione book, you know that there
is going to be great sexual tension and intense interaction between the hero
and heroine. However, this story is also
a prime example of a great balance of romance and dramatic adventure. The relationship plays well into the suspense
enhancing, not distracting from, the
storyline.
I loved this story.
I recommend this story. I look
forward to re-reading this story (something I rarely do).
Air Force veteran Larissa Ione traded in a career as a meteorologist to

computer, strong coffee, and supernatural worlds. She believes in celebrating
everything, and would never be caught without a bottle of Champagne chilling in
the fridge…just in case. She currently lives in Wisconsin with her U.S. Coast
Guard husband, her teenage son, a rescue cat named Vegas, and her very own
hellhound, a King Shepherd named Hexe.
