Description

Zed finally secured the one person he spent his life hunting, but the victory is as fleeting as it is lethal. Reuniting with her was supposed to be the end of the road; instead, it serves as the catalyst for a nightmare he never saw coming. As the shadows of his history claw their way out of the earth, the boundaries between his past crimes and his present salvation begin to blur, leaving him trapped in a suffocating web of deception. The deeper Zed delves into the secrets he once tried to bury, the more he realizes that the truth doesn't set you free—it buries you alive. As the walls close in, he is confronted with an agonizing paradox: in this world, love and vengeance are mutually exclusive. To keep his heart intact, he may be forced to dismantle his quest for retribution, or risk losing his soul in the pursuit of justice. With the tables turned, the hunter has become the hunted. Now, Zed must grapple with the chilling realization that he is no longer the savior of this story—he is the one in desperate need of mercy. In a high-stakes game where desire and malice collide, every move could be his last.

An absolute MUST read for dark romance

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒚, 𝑲𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏. 𝑺𝒐 𝑰 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒕 Prepare yourselves for the next installment of the Zed and Cat scripture. Remember how I said the first book would wreck your hole and your soul? Yeah, this one will leave you needing reconstructive surgery and a month long healing retreat. But in the best way😉🤭 I have been salivating for this book the second I finished WIS and realized there would be more. All the twists and turns, secrets revealed and the spice level were elevated. Didn't think Zed could get filthier? You're in for a treat. E.K. Dusk doesn't pull her punches about the truth of religious trauma and just how twisted it can be. The story of Zed and Cat may be fictional but the type of world they have survived is not.

Omg loved it

OMG… I finished this book and I am still trying to get my thoughts together. I literally had to go back to book one because I needed to know if my mind was playing tricks on me or if one character was actually who I thought she was. Let me just say, some of my theories were correct… but I’ll be f***ing d@mn** because those twists; yes, MULTIPLE twists that hit so hard and were absolutely not what I was expecting. And those bonus scenes? 🥵🥵🤯 Once again, E.K. Dusk didn’t just cook with this book, she ate and left no crumbs. I am completely obsessed with her writing, and at this point, anything this woman writes, I am signing up to read immediately. Bound by Sin had me questioning everything, gasping out loud, and needing to pick my jaw up off the floor more than once. If you love dark romance with shocking twists, addictive storytelling, and characters that consume your every thought, this series is an absolute must-read.

Dark Romance

Book 2 of The Desecrated Doctrine Series keeps you on your toes. It picks up where book 1, Written In Sin, left off. Cat has moved on, or has at least tried. She can’t shake the feeling of being watched and there is good reason for that. Zed has found her and is even more obsessed with her than he was before. As the story evolves, so many questions are answered but just as many pop up. The Collective is so much worse than you think and we still have so much more of Zed’s story to learn about in the next book.

Are you ready to try and piece the puzzle together?

This book is absolutely a 5 star read. Please read Written By Sin first. The second books picks up, at the last page. Picking back up to Catarina and Zed's cat and mouse game. Bound By Sin had me at the edge of my seat. It answered questions I didn't know I had. E.K has such a great way of bringing the story to you, and making every plot twist better than the previous one. If you're looking for something that will have you hooked, look no further.

Dark and heavy ride

OUT NOW!! Bound by Sin by @ek.dusk gave me the ending I needed but took me on a brutal trip to get there. I felt my heart break apart so many times in this story, I was completely engrossed in what was happening. My heart definitely still hurts from part of the story, but it's softened by the other revelations that were made. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Check your TW bc this isn't for the soft Thank you @ek.dusk for letting me Beta read Written in Sin and @lunaliterary.management for giving me the opportunity to read this one!
