But threats sleep in the shadows, and the humans were not blind to what they witnessed seven teenagers accomplish.

Meanwhile, the very enemy the Human-Borns are fated to encounter lies in wait.

He is patient. He is cunning. He is ruthless.

My  Review: 

The Ties That Bind is the second installment from The Human Born Era series by Susan L Markloff. I enjoyed the first book The Rise of the Raidin and was looking forward to reading the continuation. Once again I was interested of this magical tale that is full of action and adventure. It was a little intimidating with the size of the book, but quickly found it to be a good read. I liked it.

I am giving The Ties That Bind four stars. I believe fans of young adult paranormal and fantasy fiction will want to give this one a read. I am hoping for a follow up in The Human Born Era to see what could possible happen next with the characters.

I received a hard cover copy of Susan L Markloff's The Ties That Bind from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
