Anna is about to go through the ancient mating ritual of her people. She must pick from three goblets, one will hold the blood of her destined mate. However, if she picks the wrong goblet, it may kill her. What she doesn’t realize is that her brother and his best friend have rigged the ritual in the friend’s favor.

Dimitri wants Anna more than she can ever imagine and he’s willing to do anything to claim her. Anna doesn’t take the news of his deception well. Will Anna and Dimitri be Bound By Deception or will they bind themselves with love?

Bound By Deception is a unique paranormal novella. I like the world created by Christa Paige. I thought the ritual was fascinating and intense. The Blood-Vine world that Anna and Dimitri live in is archaic looking at first glance but there is something so sexy about it. Bound By Deception is a fast and sexy read and I am anticipating book two in The Blood-Vine series.
