The Binding Chronicles, Book 1

By: Elayna R. Gallea

Narrated by: Logan McAllister, Hollie Jackson

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.

interesting story.

the male narrator ruins the book! He makes Luna sound like a blubbering idiot. Stick with 1 narrator!

Loved it!

A great read! I enjoyed the world building and how the characters slowly developed their personalities. A good start to the series.

Meh, it's alright. Storyline is predictable.

This book was okay. The male narrator needs to work on not making women sound like weak, pathetic, stumbling, stuttering imbeciles. It was very annoying and I'll probably read the next two books instead of listening.

Love this book!!

Yes yes yes!!! This book was incredible! Now on to book two!!! This is all I listen to at work on my commute!!

voice acting

I absolutely hate how they did this audiobook. I understand having Sebastian 's chapters spoken by male actor and Luna's chapters spoken by a female, but regardless of whose chapter it was, the dialogue should not have switched. One chapter you're in the middle of this moment, then all the sudden it flips to the next chapter and suddenly the strong-willed inquisitive Luna that was being portrayed by the female voice actor turns into some annoying god-awful attempt by the male actor to sound like Luna. It's not just the voices themselves but the way she portrayed Sebastian, when she spoke as him and the way that he portrays Sebastian when he spoke as him, it was like two different characters all together! there's plenty of books that bounce back and forth from different perspectives, but if you already have different voice actors, why not just use them when there's dialogue?

Absolutely the best

I have nothing negative to say. Truly the best. Can not wait for the next book.

Loves the overall idea

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

captivating

steamy. witting. sassy. amazing performance and portrayal of the characters. well written suspense and drama and emotions

A good vampire book

I haven't heard/read a good vampire book in a long time. I really liked the way that this book flowed the narrators were pretty good too

kept me intrigued but had some issues

The story kept me intrigued and I wanted to finish. however I found the writing to be corny at times . I wish the performance was better. I wish the male performer had read the male parts during the female POV and vice versa because I really didn't enjoy when they tried to do the opposite characters . The voices were hard to tolerate .
