Survival was only the beginning for Astrid and Andrew. After the harrowing events of the first installment, the pair finds themselves tethered by a blood-soaked destiny far older and more dangerous than they ever dared imagine. With Trovi clinging to life and mysterious, burning marks etched into Astrid’s skin, they must peel back the layers of a forgotten history to uncover the truth behind their powers.
This second entry in the Bound series masterfully blends the grit of paranormal romance with the sweeping scale of epic historical fantasy. As Astrid struggles to decipher the ancient whispers of power within her, she discovers she is not merely a descendant of Hati and the moon. She is something forged, something offered, and perhaps the key to an impending cataclysm.
The stakes are higher than ever as the lines between reality and nightmare fracture. While Naomi succumbs to a dark, obsessive madness, Astrid must confront a ritual capable of unmaking the world. For fans of shifter lore intertwined with rich Norse mythology, this beautifully written saga offers an immersive journey where every stolen memory and dark ambition carries a devastating price. Prepare for a heart-pounding exploration of fate, sacrifice, and the terrifying cost of being soulbound.

Absolutely blown away! I loved the 1st book TIMEBOUND & this was just as epic imo! AJ's writing is beautiful, intricate, rich and very easy to read and retain. The suspense was long lived and held steady throughout the story. I don't know how but it seemed every scene became more and more detailed as we went, everything was brought to life so beautifully. Feeling the magic grow and build was like watching a weaver weave a silk lace gown. Astrid/Mani & Andrew/Atius just got even better in this...

This is the second book I’ve read by this author and honestly… they’re quickly becoming an auto-read for me. Timebound completely pulled me in and Soulbound was no different. The author has this way of writing that just makes everything click, the world building feels immersive without being overwhelming, the characters have real depth and the pacing makes it so easy to stay locked into the story. I loved how much more layered everything felt in this one. The stakes are higher, the connections...

I absolutely loved book 1 and couldn't believe the cliff hanger!! Book 2 was just as amazing!! I absolutely LOVE how A.J. incorporates Norse mythology with werewolves and more! It was so different and beautifully done. I am LOVING how the FMC and MMC relationship has progressed in both books. The tension, buildup and just the characters growing is amazing. I cannot wait for book 3 to come out so I can see where this story continues to grow and how Astrid and Andrew grow. I couldn't put this...
