There are so many things I love about A Bond with the Dark! This is the first insta-love I've read that's done RIGHT! Sayah and Dom have an undeniable connection and are drawn to each other right away, however, their relationship is layered with lies and secrets (on both sides) which keeps things interesting. The passion - OMG THE PASSION - is everything between these two. Sometimes you read a romance book and as soon as they hook up it gets boring - you won't find that here. The steamy scenes are perfection every single time.

A prophecy designates Sayah as the catalyst of change and everyone wants her dead. A single mom and witch, Sayah is grieving the death of her mom when she runs into Dominic, a vampire set out to find the witch everyone’s after and see if he can ignite her magick before his family kills her. He didn’t expect to fall in love with the target. Meanwhile, Sayah is having strange dreams of a mysterious vampire she can’t deny and whose bite sets her on fire (literally). When an emergency sends Dom and Sayah to Dom’s family home, let’s just say it’s a murder-y ‘meet the family’ experience you won’t forget.

This is a story of the choices we make and how they lead us toward our ultimate fate. A choice of saving one soul while condemning another. Choosing between the love that ends you or the love that revives you. Highly recommend! While it was a bit of a struggle to get through the first 2 chapters, the rest of the story was top notch. Cannot wait to discover what awaits in book 2!"

I had the opportunity to read A Bond With The Dark before its release!
Immediately this book gave me Charmed vibes with a modern twist! (I may be aging myself with such a reference lol) I loved the drama, supernatural beings, and fast pace.
The FMC, Seyah, has experienced her fair share of trials and tribulations and that continues to remain true as our story begins. She embodies strength, resilience and is overall a badass.
Dom, MMC, is our delightful vampire.😍 He has also been a part of his own share of darkness. Together, he and Seyah must persevere to defeat evil.
I love that this story was written with dual POVs, so that we truly experienced all of the emotions our characters felt. Honestly I can’t wait for Book 2 in The Beautifully Broken Saga.

A Bond with the Dark by Inara Gage is a spellbinding journey into a world where love, magic, and danger intertwine seamlessly. This novel is an exquisite blend of mystery, romance, and supernatural intrigue that will captivate you from the first page to the last.
Sayah Thorne, our reluctant witch heroine, is a force to be reckoned with. After a tragic fire claims her family, Sayah is thrust into a perilous quest for the truth, accompanied by her formidable witch aunts. Her journey is fraught with danger and deception, but Sayah’s strength, wit, and resilience make her a compelling and relatable character. She evolves beautifully throughout the story, proving time and again that she is a powerful witch who can handle anything thrown her way.
Dominic Sangravelli and his siblings are engaged in a fierce battle against grimspawn, the reanimated dead that haunt their existence. When destiny brings Sayah and Dominic together through a prophecy, their worlds collide in a forbidden romance that is both electrifying and deeply emotional. Dominic’s vampire family opposes their bond, adding layers of tension and intrigue to their relationship.
The chemistry between Sayah and Dominic is palpable, their romance a delicate dance between light and dark. As they navigate a landscape where betrayal lurks at every turn, their love becomes a beacon of hope against the encroaching shadows.
The dark forces that target Sayah believe her death will restore balance, but Sayah and Dominic are determined to defy fate and save their world from impending doom.
Inara Gage masterfully crafts a world rich in magic and mystery. The pacing is perfect, keeping you on the edge of your seat, while the world-building immerses you in a landscape filled with witches, vampires, and grimspawn. The character development is great, with each character—especially Sayah—showing growth and depth.
A Bond with the Dark is more than just a supernatural romance; it’s a tale of resilience, love, and the power of defying fate. The beautifully woven narrative, coupled with the intense, forbidden romance, makes this book a must-read for fans of fantasy and paranormal romance.
If you love stories where the line between light and dark blurs, where love and magic collide, this novel is for you. Sayah’s adventures are just beginning, and I can’t wait to see where they take us next
