Blood Tethered: Blood Tethered Book 1 Author I.S. Belle

ARC Review 5 out of 5 stars! Releases on March 30, 2025 (tomorrow!) "Thirteen hours before Theo Fairgood died, he woke up early to hang party decorations." - First line of the book! Had me laughing and thinking back to other works by this author! Theo is THE golden boy of Lock. Perfect grades, athletic, rich and powerful parents, etc. Everyone wants to be around him, seen with him, and just bask in his aura. That is except for Kade who would rather die. He just wants to get through the miserable high school years so his real life and adventure can begin. But surviving high school isn't for the faint of heart. Growling, fighting, and barking at everyone will only go so far. Everything changes when Kade crashes yet another party and saves Theo, though "golden boy" didn't need saving at all. Seems like the mysteries monster who attacked Theo was a vampire and Theo is no longer human!? Kade has chased many highs in his short life, but nothing has even come close...
