Yoke: The Bound Trilogy Book I

Very well written. But I could not finish it. It was very blasphemous to my Christian God. Might be a good read for some one else. But I didnt like the way The God of All my Heavenly Father was portrayed. Sorry

Great book!

It is rare when an author manages to take a popular topic and twist it into something new, original, and fresh. E.M. Ragland has accomplished just this in the novel YOKE. It transcends YA literature. This allegory blends fiction and nonfiction into one, unforgettable story that will make you look at yourself and the world differently. It is beautifully and delicately written. The characters come alive in this novel of substance. I am anxiously looking forward to the next book in the Bound Series.

E.M. Raglands debut novel is like a beautiful song you cannot get out of your head. The characters, both human and angelic, are so real their images will imprint your soul and their words will echo over and over in your mind. With one foot firmly planted in each of two totally opposing worlds, Raglands protagonist, Sophie, struggles to solve the mystery of her life and the meaning of her existence. Raglands writing is well researched and wonderfully executed. I highly recommend Yoke and anxiously await the next book in the trilogy.

Great book so far

I loved this book! I am a big Twilight fan, but I can honestly say I like this story better. Sophie and Joseph are such real characters--they respond to their circumstances in very real ways, despite their circumstances being other-worldly. This book is a page turner. I stayed up all night to finish it. Its a fun, fresh twist on paranormal YA fiction. Cant wait for the next book!

YOKE is a noteworthy addition to YA literature! This is an intelligent, well written story about love, loss, sacrifice and the lengths we are willing to go to protect the ones we love. Raglands characters are honest and relatable and every page leaves you wanting more. Read YOKE! You will be glad you did!

loved it waiting on the next book

As an avid reader of all things creepy and ghoulie, Ive always loved supernatural fiction. But after a while the vampires, werewolves, witches and faeries all start to blend together. That is one of the reasons I loved Yoke. It is a retelling of that same old story: girl meets boy; they fall in love; and then they struggle against the epic forces of the universe that are conspiring to keep them apart. And in this case, those forces are truly EPIC. This fast-paced, action-packed story had me up into the wee hours.

I am only half way through this book and I am already anxious for the next book in the series to be published. The characters are well written and the story is fascinating!
