Vengeful Bonds: Season Two

Books like this one are the reason Why I love Polyamorous romance so much - layers upon layers of emotions, woven into complex fine-tuned patterns between so many people, united by a plan for revenge and made into a cohesive whole by unbreakable bonds of love, devotion, caring and friendship.
Alone against a world, steeped in corruption and death, Fen is a spark that cannot ignite a fire alone, fire,big enough to bring down a political system, rotten to the core and unconcerned with the price of a single life. People are just little cogs - replaceable and unimportant. But while the system doesn't care, Fen cares. Because one of these people was his brother.
This isn't just a story about revenge, it's a story about being strong enough to stand up and defend certain values - raw, inspirational, cathartic and bringing hope, where there was none. It's a story about finding the right people that not only chose to back him up, but fight alongside him. A story about unexpected bonds - strong and meaningful - that bring light into the darkness and build one unconventional family by choice not blood.
The book is a thrilling combination between suspense and romance, combining high heat, fast pace and many twists. There is an impressively large cast of characters that grow, develop and change in front of the eyes of the readers :
Ollie, whose life gained a whole new meaning,
Saint, who found acceptance and kindness
Seth, who found many hands and loving words to heal
Fen, who found understanding and hearts to share the burden of grief and loneliness
San, who found the meaning of what belonging means
Deke, who felt for the first time what real family truly is.
Loch, whose heart was big enough to be an anchor, a harbour, a shelter in difficult times, but never left alone without support.
What made me turn page after page was the fact that these characters weren't presented as shiny, perfect and infallible, but with all of their vulnerabilities, doubts and insecurities. I was intrigued to see how friendships gradually morphed and deepened while challenges, obstacles and feelings were a never ending rollercoaster.
Be aware of the cliffhanger because there is no doubt, the real storm is closing in. I can't wait to see what choices will be made.
