5 Stars

Grace Andrea’s sister and brother-in-law were killed in a car crash that damaged her knee.  She inherited her niece and nephew.  As well as the powers and responsibility of the Oracle of Louisville.  When she helped Carling and Rune in the last book, she also acquired the interest of Khalil, Demonkind and Djinn prince of House Marid.  Khalil judges Grace on every decision she makes without understanding what is going on until she tears into him about, he choices.  The more they interact the more he understands and the angrier he gets at the Elder community for not doing what they are supposed to do.  He is determined to help Grace with her niece and nephew have the best life ever.  Grace is struggling with all her responsibilities and doesn’t understand why Khalil is so interested in their lives and weary about is interested but when weird things keep happening she will take all the help keeping her niece and nephew safe.

I loved this story so much.  It was heartbreaking what Grace and the kids had gone through and continued to go through for part of the book.  I loved see Khalil go from a cold Djinn to more personable with more time he spent with the family.  My all-time favorite scene was when he tore into Carling and Rune for not paying Grace for the services that she provided.  The anger he felt over the family struggling to make ends meet because people aren’t paying her, and Grace can’t get another job because of her duties.    I also loved that Grace would call him on all BS.  For their first date he got in a fight with a vampire who was being inappropriate with her.  She just noped out and left him to fighting because she was too tired and hungry to deal with that.  Behind Dragon Bound this was by far my favorite book in the series so far.

 

Audiobook

Sophie Eastlake narrated this story.  I really enjoyed her take on the voices of each of the characters.  As always it is interested to see how some names are pronounced differently then what I thought it was when I read the book.
