This is book two of the Spellbound series, this was a fantastic sequel to Bound to Remember. Part two opens with a love pentagon, yes you read that right. Kevin, Ben, and Hades all vying for Antonia’s affections, while Catherine appears trying to get Ben back. Lola James did an awesome job using all of her characters in some way to help Antonia; the way the lives were woven together was just amazing. I was left hanging at the end of book two, so I can’t wait for book three!

You never know if a sequel will follow through with the story and do as good of a job or better. I recently read Lola James’ Bound to Remember and enjoyed the read. I quickly turned to book number two, Unbound, and found the story threw me completely for a pleasant loop.

Toni finds herself discovering that she never was herself. The woman she thought she was turned out to be a lie. Instead, she becomes embroiled in a mess of events that revolve her and the Greek gods. The vampires and witches are still there to make this one of the most unusual paranormal stories.

No one can complain that Ms. James’ writing is slow and lethargic. The pace is steady throughout the story and keeps the reader pushing on to the next chapter because you just have to know what is going on. It is an intricate plot with surprises around every turn. Some I could see coming while others came out of nowhere.

You won’t find Ms. James’ writing highbrow. It is simple and engaging letting the reader enjoy the story instead of following words that are rarely used and a story so deep that it would take years of discussions to figure it out. It is something to read and enjoy.

As I warned my readers in book one, there are vampires and witches. In this book, I want to add an extra warning of descriptive intimate scenes. These are not eluded here. They are described very well. They can be skipped without losing much of the story.

What I like about Ms. James’ works is that they are a pleasure to read and a completely new twist on some old stories. I like to see that. It shows true creativity in the ability to take the old and produce something new and original.
