Review: These Immortal Vows (Bound by Blood, Book 1) by Kelsey McKnight


 

Familiars serve. Vampires command. But hearts never obey.

Cassandra Rollins was born to serve the immortal. A human familiar bound to the will of vampires, she’s spent her life walking the razor’s edge between power and peril. No creature—living or undead—has ever shaken her control. Until him.

Ruairidh Calder, a Scottish vampire forged in battle and haunted by centuries of war, is ready to abandon his wandering life. But when he settles in New York’s glittering vampire court, he’s forced to rely on Cassandra—his reluctant guide and the one human who defies him at every turn.

Their fiery clash ignites a forbidden desire neither can contain. Yet when vampires and their human familiars begin to vanish, their uneasy partnership turns into a fight for survival. In a city pulsing with dark magic and ancient rivalries, Cassandra must decide whether to trust the immortal who tempts her heart—or risk losing everything to the darkness hunting them both.

In a world ruled by blood and power, love is the most dangerous vow of all.

 

My Review: 

So good, I didn’t want it to end. 

Cassandra should have been off limits.  She was another vampire’s familiar and another man’s girlfriend.  She was also mortal.  When Cassandra is given the job of providing Ruairidh with documents and a place to live, she had no idea her life was about to change in ways she never expected.  When an ancient vampire is killed, Cassandra and Ruairidh move in together (where she will be protected) and search for the killer before someone else gets killed.  They eventually give into the temptation they have both been fighting, crossing the line from friends to lovers.  This book had everything I look for in a vampire romance, action, passion and excitement.  I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
