From the USA Today bestselling author of Vampire Girl comes a new vampire romance that will suck you in. Why am I tied to a tree in the middle of a freezing Ukrainian forest waiting for a god to come devour me? Funny story.While traveling for the winter during my last year of grad school, my Ukrainian friend convinced me to join them in their homeland for a few days. It seemed like a good idea at … homeland for a few days. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Only our plane crashed and I woke up here, in a village that’s a throwback to the Dark Ages, with no electricity, no Wi-Fi and a strong superstition in gods and human sacrifices.
Yay me.
I mean, I’m all about the authentic local experience when traveling, but this is a little too authentic.
I’m expecting to die from the cold. Not some made-up god monster. But then he walks out of the shadows, and an entirely different fear seizes me.
Lust and terror war within me as I’m taken captive by something so much more than a man.
A vampire.
Straight from the legends.
And he needs my blood to survive.
But he’s chosen to spare me. Unfortunately, I’m not sure either of us will survive the winter.
Because something is hunting the people of this mysterious village. Something even a vampire fears.
And we may be its next victims.
Forever Bound is a novella featured in the Vampire Brides series. All books in the Vampire Brides series are standalone and can be read in any order.

First time reading something by Karpov Kinrade and I can honestly say I am now a fan. I’m not usually one to want to read novellas as I find them too short and quick to read that you don’t really get the full picture and enjoyment of the journey that has happened. But I do feel as this book was written so well that you were able to get enough to enjoy what is going on. I do think it would be fantastic if we are able to revisit Ivan and Evangeline again in the near future, or perhaps a pre-Evangeline, follow Ivan’s journey.
An unexpected plane accident tears Evangeline‘s world apart. Landing into the middle of an ancient battle that had nothing to do with her. Been thrust into a world where nothing is as it seems. Being a sacrifice for a ‘God’ was not on her to do list while visiting Ukraine with best friend Yama, but her she was tied to a tree, gagged and waiting for so called ‘God’, but she never expected it to turn out to be a Vampire. Vampires don’t exist at least this is what she tells herself, even with the evidence right in front her in a shape of a gorgeous specimen of a man. On her death bed waiting for the end she is saved by Ivan and so begins the ritual of the mating bond.
We have all read multiple versions of Vampire Lore and we think we have heard them all, but KK puts a new spin on it that will have you turning every page to find out what’s going to happen next.
Ivan protects the village night after night against the true monster Koschei, never telling the residents that he isn’t the reason for the deaths. But when the latest sacrifice is left for him almost dead, pleading for his help, her smell is too intoxicating to leave behind. He offers her his blood to heal knowing that it would cause for the mating ritual to begin. But when Angel’s life is at risk again and the battle this night doesn’t go so well for him, Angel gives him her blood to help heal him and by doing so completes the ritual.
This book was so enjoyable to read, there was so much going on that I was addicted and wanted more. An ancient Alchemist turned Vampire, an apprentice turned beast, a town cursed so no one can ever leave, a mating bond between human and vampire, wow who wouldn’t want to read this to find out what is going to happen.
