Publisher's summary

What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?

When Luna is sold into marriage to the Prince of Darkness on her twenty-first birthday, she thinks she knows what to expect. Arranged marriages happen all the time, right? Wrong. No one could have prepared her for the reality of being married to the vampire prince.

Ever since the day he was made, Sebastian has been living according to Queen Marguerite's rules. After all, he's only alive because of her. When she orders him to marry and bind himself to Luna, a human hailing a neighboring kingdom, he has no choice. He agrees to the marriage but never expects to feel anything for her.

When their Binding Ceremony goes awry, and they are magically tethered, everything is thrown into upheaval. Unable to leave each other's presence, they must learn to live with each other—or die.

Tethered is an arranged marriage high fantasy romance filled with forced proximity, magical bindings, vampires, and world-building. It can be enjoyed on its own or alongside The Ithenmyr Chronicles.

Loves the overall idea

Good voices and performances for a story line that at times felt repetitious. One two

DNF- corny and not believable

The author repeats phrases A LOT - like “the air thickened” and “their eyes widened”. The characters don’t react to situations in a believable way. The FMC is supposedly a highly educated 21 year old but the way she acts is extremely naive and childish. I really tried to finish but after about half way through the book I couldn’t take it anymore. The female voice actor is decent but makes the FMC sound whiny and the male voice actor makes everyone sound annoying.

Pretentious young adult novel

I had to stop listening to this.. The pretentiousness in the language was unbearable. It had great potential storyline-wise, but the unnatural way the characters pov was going made me cringe.

Not sure what to say

So I don’t want to say it was a bad book because I enjoyed it. There were parts where I couldn’t walk away. However, I won’t be reading/listening to any more of the series. I feel like the story is a stand alone, that the story started to feel like the other hundred books out. I feel like the beginning and even the middle it had such great potential but it fell off for me. Seemed like there was so much filler if that makes any sense at all. I’m glad I read it I would probably recommend the first book but again it fell flat

Couldn’t finish

Writing was not up to my level and couldn’t stand the male actors voice. Lots of repetition, slow, cliche characters. I liked that the vampires had wings that is about it. It came highly recommended so I really tried to like it but it fell flat instantly for me.

Quick lil thriller

This one wasn’t bad at all. You may find the female protagonist to be a but annoying at some points as well as repetitive dialogue. But it was quick, fun and suspenseful.
