Broken Bonds by J. Bree

12 reviews

solarpunkybrewster's review

barely past the prologue and they’re temp paralysing her so they can insert a gps tracker on her so they can force her to “complete” some sort of bond (rape). all while the one using his powers to temp paralyze her is making jokes about how fun it would be to rape her. no thank you.

overall really solid. it just needs a good copyedit. the story itself was pretty emotional and tense for a lot of the novel, as oli tries to keep a tight grip on herself against her bonds trying to both break her down and (later) try to be gentle with her (well, some of them anyway).

it was waaay to slow for me. basically all the action happens in the last fourth of the book. untill then it is lots of yearning, longing and backstory

Alright, ends on a cliffy, but overall a pretty good PNR novel. Reverse harem for you spicy readers but minimal spice in this one, but definitely lots of language. Loved the audiobook narrator. Really looking forward to seeing more of the Gifts and watching Oli’s story play out. I’m loving her friendship with Sage.

This book is awful but addictive. None of the characters are likeable but it’s like a trainwreck you have to finish the series.

Well consider me intrigued. I downloaded the other five books before I even finished Broken Bonds. I guarantee Nox gets a redemption arc, North can get bent but Gabe, Griffin and Atlas are warming up to me. I love Sage, and I want to protect her with all my heart, please don’t kill her!
