The bad thing about reading books that are part of a series back to back is that it's hard to come up with things to say about the books that you haven't already said in the other reviews. I'm still really enjoy these books but this one is probably my least favorite of what I've read so far. This review is going to be slightly spoliery so if you haven't started this series yet please skip this review. From the very beginning of this series I have been vocal about how much I hate Nox. He's my least favorite MMC and for good reason. I honestly don't think he could have ever fully redeemed himself but I was looking forward to learning about his past and why he is the way he is and seeing him grow and possibly come to love Oli. I didn't realize how much I was looking forward to this until the ending of this book. The cliffhangers of these books are going to be the death of me and each one has gradually gotten worse so I'm afraid of what the next books have in store for us. When I read the last sentence of this book my heart was racing and I was on the verge of tears which says a lot of an author can make me feel this way about a character I've hated up until that point. I think the reason this is my least favorite of the books I've read so far is because the focus wasn't on the romance as much in this one which I get but you know I like my romance. Even though it's my least favorite overall I'm still hooked on these characters and their story and I can't wait to read the next book but I'm also a tad bit scared.
This author loves a cliffhanger and this book was absolutely no exception— maybe the biggest one in the series so far! Forced Bonds picks up right where Blood Bonds left off thankfully because again with the cliffhangers, I couldn't deal! There are still so many unknowns for Oli and her Bonds as they navigates these troubling times for their community. They all adjust to changes within their Bond Group in terms of their relationship with each other as well as their evolving powers. I found this book to a little more action packed and the last 10% had me by the throat. Y'all the ending— THE ENDING! I so wish I could pick up the next one right now because I am absolutely feral for it. Fear not, I will definitely be getting back to it soon! Spice level is comparable to other books in the series, but I love the deeper romantic connections we are getting with Oli and the Bonds. This book and series is Adult Paranormal Romance, 18+ for sexual content, violence, and themes.
If you have not read the other books on this series you need to read them. I love this series so much. The ending of this book got me reading the 5th book so fast.
