If I thought Tentacles and Teeth was hot, Bound and Beguiled is a boiling hot book 🥵
We got a brief glimpse of Tereza at the end of Tentacles and Teeth when she called her cousin Katarina—who is FMC from the first book in the series. At the start of Bound and Beguiled, we follow a Tereza who has had to leave the Covenant to escape a dangerous situation. She moves in with her cousin and gets a job as a waitress in Katrina’s girlfriend’s—Sid—bar. There she meets four Bwbachods who will change the course of her life.
In addition to the extremely well-written spicy scenes, this book tells the very moving story of a young woman made vulnerable by the physical and psychological violence she has suffered at the hands of people close to her. Thanks to Mared, Efa, Emyr and Kynan, she gradually regains control of her life and regains the self-confidence that had previously been constantly shattered. This makes Tereza an FMC with a lot of courage and strength. Mared, Efa, Emyr and Kynan are really perfect to accompany her on this long journey. I can’t think of a better match for her.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the Consorting with Monsters series.
