Bound by Forever, a True Immortality Novel by S. Young is now live!
New York Times Bestselling author Samantha Young writing as S. Young.
Niamh Farren has been burdened by knowledge for most of her life. As one of seven fae children born into the human world with the ability to open the gate to Faerie, Niamh's mission is to guide her fae brethren to do what's right. Because Niamh has seen what will happen to the human world if she does not protect the gate. Throughout the years, she's traveled the world with her brother Ronan, using her psychic visions to find the fae-borne and convince them to stay on the path that will keep the gate from opening. She has sacrificed much ... but when she loses her brother to the mission, Niamh begins to lose herself.
For nearly one hundred and fifty years, werewolf Kiyo has wandered the planet as a lost soul. Cursed with immortality, he spends his awful eternity as a mercenary for hire. When the powerful Fionn Mór confides the truth about the existence of Faerie and hires Kiyo to protect one of the fae-borne, he accepts the challenge out of boredom, not heroism. Yet Niamh is unexpected in every way the werewolf can possibly imagine.
Guarding Niamh from her enemies is nowhere near as challenging as protecting the fae woman from herself. If Kiyo is to succeed, he must help Niamh find herself again, and not just for her sake. Ignoring the fierce connection between them may no longer be an option. A new enemy is rising and threatening to rip open the gate between worlds. To remind Niamh of who she really is, Kiyo must make the choice to lower his defenses and give into their bond. Or safeguard his own heart ... and in doing so lead the human world to the brink of war.

Review:
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Bound by Forever is the third book in the True Immortality series by S. Young. The stories of each book seem to be intertwined, but I didn't have much trouble getting into the story and understanding what is going on in this world, so it kinda can be read as stand-lone. Kiyo and Niamh's story might have ended in this book, but the overall story will end in the next and final book in the series.
The main characters are Niamh a powerful fae and Kiyo an immortal werewolf who is tasked with protecting her. Their journey has a lot of ups and downs, but overall I can say that the ups are more and better than the downs.
The reason why I had trouble getting into the story is the constant flee and chase that is happening with Niamh and Kiyo. She runs away from him 3 to 4 times and he is always trying to catch her. Only the first time was justified in my opinion. Kiyo was way too stubborn and secretive so Niamh had her reasons, but it was had for the romance. The romance actually begins in the second half of the book.
I enjoyed the parts about Japan and the Japanese that were used because it helped me learn a few things. I had a slight problem with Kiyo's name because I kept reading it Kyo but other than that everything was good. The lore was also one of the book's good points and I will definitely come back for the 4rth book. I wanna know how this story will end.
Kiyo is stubborn and a little too typical alpha male. I didn't like reading about him wanting to sleep with other women or how he behaved around his ex. It ruined, a little, the idea of what soulmates are in this book for me. Niamh has her issues too, but as the story went on I found myself liking her more. She is slowly becoming her own persona and I can't wait to see more of her in the next book.
Overall, the book was good. The characters had a rough start on their romance, but everything worked out in the end. I would not recommend reading the book as a stand-alone and I would suggest picking book 1 first.
