After her father dies, Rachel realizes she is scared and stuck. Scared of heights, of cars, of disasters harming the people she loves. Stuck in a life that is getting smaller by the minute. Stuck with a secret she has kept all her life: Someone has been watching over her since her birth. Someone who tends to show up when she needs him the most. Someone she believes is her guardian angel. Eaden is a 1,500-year-old immortal who wants to die. Drained by a life streched too thin, he has requested his final reward - a mortal sacrifice bred specifically to bring him death. But something went wrong. Rachel's ability to grant death has mutated in ways that threaten to upset the uneasy alliance between mortals and immortals. And utterly beguilded, Eaden discovers that although Rachel is the key to his death, because of her, he no longer wants to die. And he will do anything to protect her.
Swept into a world of legends, caught between the warring political factions of immortals, and carrying the future of mortal kind in her flesh and bone, Rachel must risk everything to save her world and the man she loves.

Opinion
I got some
very mixed feelings about Unbound. Some parts I loved others I didn’t love.
Some part made perfect sense other ones didn’t make sense at all to me. Especially
at the beginning of the book I had many doubts. Rachel had a stalker guy since
she was a little girl and she always thought that she imagined him or that he
was her guardian angel. I would freak out if that would ever happen to me, but
Rachel did found is all normal. And when she finally got to meet her stalker
guy, Eaden, she almost immediately falls in love with him without even knowing
him or without questioning him why he followed her all those years. She just
accepts it all! Also she takes care of her mother since her father died, she
makes sure that the bill are paid and there is food on the table every day but
at the same time she needs others who take care of her. A bit weird that’s all
I’m saying.
But once I
read one third of the book everything changed. Rachel was threatened and she
and Eaden moved away to find help. Finally we got to meet some other characters
than Eaden and Rachel like Amerlyn and Mara. I just loved those two Mara didn’t
held her tongue and Amerlyn had so many wisdom. A very comic duo. And Rachel
became stronger, she stood up for herself and she expected some explanations. At
the end of the book Rachel was not the same Rachel we first met at the
beginning of the book. She was strong, independent and lastly she finally dared
to live again.
Because of
the beginning of this book I was contemplating between three or four stars, but
since I liked Georgia’s writing style and the ending was promising I decided to
rate it four stars. I will definitely read the next book in the series when it
comes out. I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a young adult romance, fantasy read.
