If the Devil comes to collect his due in person, you’re screwed.Claire hasn’t been back to Italy since she played a game of supernatural-chicken with a crazy witch and won herself a castle. That whole mess left a bad taste in her mouth and regret dripping from her fangs, but the crumbling relic won’t repair itself and the inhabitants of Casa Creepy have been left on their own for far too long.A … too long.
A request from the head of the European Vampires, for Claire’s unique brand of spook-like services, is the nudge she needs to get on a plane to Italy, pronto! She’ll kill two problems with one trans-Atlantic flight and get paid to hunt. Maybe dig up a little wicked fun if time allows.
It’s a good plan. Too bad it doesn’t include a stitched-together monster on a rampage, uncloaking a demon that’s hotter than hell and packing a secret, or the stranger flashing power around the city and scaring the locals. What they say about the best laid plans is true… they always go to Hell in a hand-basket.
Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris will appreciate this dark romp through the world of fangs and freaks that Alex Owens has crafted.

I love this series. Something Bound is book 4 of Shadow Vampire series. It continues the series right where the last book ended and brings us some new characters. Trouble always follows Claire. She has an ex-husband and a teenage daughter. She travels to Italy to take care of two problems with one trip. She has a plan, but remember what they say about the best-laid plans… they always go to Hell in a hand-basket. Join Claire on her adventure thru Italy.
Alex Owens fourth and what was to be last book in the series leave you begging for me. Thank goodness Alex ‘s has stated that the series will continue, but after she completes a few other projects. I pray those projects to fast, because our leading heroine has got herself tangled in yet the arms of another liver and we are left with her following him to a dimension that may take her away from her daughter and her two lovers. I don’t think Clive will just let her disappear without tearing the world apart inch by inch until he finds her. To say this book brought twist, turns, and heated romance would be an understatement. If you are reading this Alex, please
Claire is back! And of course here come the problems! Her best friend has been fairy-napped and here comes her dad willing to wave around a threat or two. He practically DEMANDS that Claire find out who took his beloved daughter and get her back, and that if she doesn’t that he has no qualms about killing her. Yikes! The Fairy King may make her lady parts tingle, but that attitude will get him exactly nowhere fast! But even without the threats, he could have just asked. Claire loves her friend to death and would do anything to save her. Add in that Claire receives a request to come to handle a certain situation overseas, and she’s off again looking for trouble. She finds that and a lot more when she goes to visit her “inherited” property. That place is packed full of more issues than Claire can shake a stick at, but being the gentle-hearted vamp that she is, she is determined to help those who need it and are willing to take it. But she’s gotta keep her wits about her. There’s a murderer on the loose and he’s got his sights set on exterminating the supes and Claire fits the profile perfectly.
Something Bound by Alex Owens is her fourth book in the Shadow Vampire series and I absolutely LOVED it!! I was immediately wracked with giggles not far into the story. The characters are still as fun and interesting as they were in the first three books. Claire still has that awesome attitude that I absolutely love. Her ex-husband is still a dip, and her daughter…well…her daughter is a preteen. So what can you say really? LOL! Things certainly move like a well-oiled machine in this book. The pace is perfect, the storyline is engaging and a blast to read. I couldn’t get enough of the characters. I love the surprises!
There honestly isn’t anything that I don’t like about this book. Everything comes together perfectly! I am mildly disappointed that the author will be taking some time away from this series, but I understand the reasons why and I simply appreciate knowing this fact. As the author managed to claim me as a fan with her second book, you can bet that I will be diligently sticking around patiently waiting for her next work whenever she is able to write it.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you like snarky, witty, strong female characters and have loved the previous books in the Shadow Vampire series then grab this book, clear your schedule and settle in! You’ll love it. If you’re looking for a new vampire series to dive into and willing to wait for more…then go grab the first book and have yourself a delightful little feast. This is a series that I highly recommend. I look forward to future works from this author! Thank you for the enjoyment thus far.
First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
This is the fourth book, and possibly the last, & it saddens me. I’ve come to love Claire, Bette, Clive, Quinn, Cass, and many others throughout these stories. I loved this story except for one thing, what happens to Claire? Hopefully there’ll be more someday. Alex Owens truly knows how to weave a story and keep you enthralled. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up.
