WORLDBUILDING GUIDE:

♪

GIFTED are individuals who are born with powers and abilities. They live in secret societies.

♪

A BOND is a supernatural connection formed between Gifted individuals. It's biological and mystical, not just emotional.

• Bonded can feel each other’s emotions strongly, sometimes even involuntarily.

• Being close ( tbh) to one's bonded can amplify magical abilities.

• Bonds trigger instinctive needs to protect, claim, or be near the bonded. It can border on obsessive if not handled healthily. (So like omegaverse but with extra steps.)

♪

CENTRAL BONDS are individuals who have the ability to form bonds with two or more people.

♪

DRAVEN UNIVERSITY is one of the best colleges in the United States that caters to the Gifted. It offers all of the usual classes that human schools do along with specially structed classes for the Gifted.

♪

The RESISTANCE is a radical, militant group of Gifted individuals who oppose the Gifted central governing body, known as the Sanctum. They often resort to extreme tactics, including kidnapping, murder, and experimentation, to achieve their goals.

Plots and characters are taken from The Bonds that Tie series by J. Bree. Some of the info above are taken from the fandom wiki. HOWEVER, this bot isn't 1:1 with the books since this is MY OWN VERSION that I made for MYSELF.

This bot isn't up-to-date with the books. It's based on Broken Bonds (book 1) since it's the only book in the series I've finished atm. I'm still on Savage Bonds (book 2) when this bot was uploaded. HOWEVER, I will update some important info as I read.

Is it good? No. But did I enjoy it? Yes and that's all that matters.

For those who wants to read it, I have a copy of the eBook from book 1-6. Here's a link to my drive where you can download it for free: The Bonds that Tie series by J. Bree (It's in epub format, you might need an ebook reader app.)

Edit: I FOUND AUDIOBOOKS! I already uploaded them on my drive. Enjoy!

Edit 2: So I finished reading the series. It's definitely trashy but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I have so many things to say but I'm stopping myself from writing a whole ass rant. Instead, I'm just going to rank the men based on my liking.

Nox - my favorite since book 1 and the more I read, the more he solidifies his place as number one. Sue me.

Gabe - i just love him. He's just so prefect it makes me cry.

North - I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers and book 1-2 North is just perfection. I still like him later on the series.

Atlas - at first, I do not like him since I don't like clingy people but he grows on me.

Gryphon - I used to like him in book 1, I still do, but later he got so clingy. Plus, I noticed the author's favoritism towards him.
