Review: They Bite Series (Forbidden Bond, Forbidden Love, Forbidden Need)

 



I received copies of these books in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the books or my review itself.


The They Bite series centers around a world full of supernatural beings, with the focus predominantly on vampires and werewolves (and other types of shifters, such as coyotes). Each book focuses on a different male/male pairing, but each pairing is between a vampire and a shifter, pairings that in the book's world are essentially unheard of until these characters fall in love.

These books can be read alone, but I would recommend reading them in order, as each successive book in the series centers around a character readers met in the previous book. This also means we get to see some more of the couples from the earlier books, which I loved.

Forbidden Bond centers around an alpha werewolf and a vampire from a highly prestigious family, who meet when Sinclair (the vampire) attends an all-werewolf college. They essentially become the foundational couple that opens up the possibility of interspecies dating between what were once two enemy factions. Forbidden Love is about a vampire who is a doctor, who meets a werewolf (both characters we met in the first book) due to a major event from the first book. Forbidden Need takes a vampire character from the previous two books, who seemed very cruel and unfeeling, but when he meets a coyote shifter, his character is shown to be so complex, and I went from not liking him at all to absolutely loving him.

Colgin does such a great job with this series. The characters are compelling, their romances are beautiful, there is just enough tension to keep things suspenseful, and the ending leaves readers feeling satisfied. I flew through these three books, and I really hope this series continues on!
