About this listen

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.

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.

DNF audiobook

The male narrator had a lisp that was just too distracting for me. I could not finish the audiobook, I had to switch over to reading on my kindle. The story was fine, it’s an easy YA read.

Not sure what to say

So I don’t want to say it was a bad book because I enjoyed it. There were parts where I couldn’t walk away. However, I won’t be reading/listening to any more of the series. I feel like the story is a stand alone, that the story started to feel like the other hundred books out. I feel like the beginning and even the middle it had such great potential but it fell off for me. Seemed like there was so much filler if that makes any sense at all. I’m glad I read it I would probably recommend the first book but again it fell flat

DNF- corny and not believable

The author repeats phrases A LOT - like “the air thickened” and “their eyes widened”. The characters don’t react to situations in a believable way. The FMC is supposedly a highly educated 21 year old but the way she acts is extremely naive and childish. I really tried to finish but after about half way through the book I couldn’t take it anymore. The female voice actor is decent but makes the FMC sound whiny and the male voice actor makes everyone sound annoying.

The main character is so whiney but the story is good

The main character is so whiney but the story is good. If you can stand her then the story is worth it. She got my nerves. She says she’s the ice queen but no…. No she is not. Wow.

Sweet Slowburn

First time reading from this author. I like both Sebastian and Luna. They were giving off Beauty and the Beast vibes. I liked that they developed a friendship first. Some of these books start with lust then love. I think it is considered New Adult but it sometimes feels a little YA with the dialogue. Overall, it was an enjoyable listen.

Dual Narration, NOT a standalone story

Narration style: Dual (NOT duet)
Audience: Young Adult / New Adult
Spice: 🌶️ no sex, some nudity, some make out sessions and kissing
Ending: cliffhanger

First up: this is in dual narration (where each narrator voices all characters in an entire chapter regardless of gender) style and is my absolute least favorite form of narration there is. Alas.



Now for the story: this is NOT a standalone story as the title details says. It is the first book in a new series. It ends on a cliffhanger. So beware of that.

The story itself a fun and very predictable high fantasy paranormal romance. There is NO real spice in this story. Zero sex, just a few kisses and one or two make out sessions. If you’re looking for steam, this isn’t it. If you like your stories cleaner you might like this one.

I have bought the following 2 books as I did enjoy the narrators and the story is interesting enough. They were on a steep sale after thanksgiving so why not.

I do wish audible would list the type of narration each title is because theres such a big difference between dual narration and duet narration and often you can’t tell which one it is with a sample listen.

Loved the plot

The forced proximity romance rocks and the plot is solid! And so far, it’s been relatively clean! Highly recommend!

A nice change from the norm

when I first started listening to the book I thought it was a dark romance. however as the story continued I realized it's more of an amazing High action fast-paced true love story between a vampire and a human. I really enjoyed this book and I'm going to continue with the series. it's a nice change from the normal dark romance that I usually read.
