Why this book may or may not be a good choice for you and/or your family...
The Binding Chronicles: Sebastian and Luna's Trilogy by Elayna R. Gallea could be a good choice for families or readers looking for a richly emotional fantasy story with romance at its center, but without graphic or highly explicit sexual scenes. While the romance does include steamy moments and some implied intimacy, it's handled with moderate detail and doesn’t cross into full explicit territory, which some families might appreciate compared to more mature fantasy romances. The world-building, magic, and strong character development offer a compelling journey, especially for older teens or young adults who enjoy fantasy with dark twists and intense character relationships. On the other hand, parents might want to be aware that the trilogy features graphic violence, including blood, gore, and scenes of torture, as well as darker emotional themes like abuse and kidnapping. While these elements add real stakes and tension to the story, they might be too intense for younger or more sensitive readers. There’s also occasional swearing throughout the series. Because of this mix of moderately steamy romance and darker, more mature content, The Binding Chronicles would be best suited for older teen readers who are ready for a fantasy story with emotional depth, moral complexity, and heavier themes.
(contains mild romantic elements, occasional implied violence, and minimal strong language)

Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart . . . and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.
Why this book may or may not be a good choice for you and/or your family...
