Yoke: The Bound Trilogy Book I

Great book so far

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.

YOKE is a smart and gripping debut. If you like the TWILIGHT and FALLEN series, you will love this fast-paced read! I found myself obsessing about Raglands modern re-telling of history, prophecy, and divination the way a teenager obsesses about a first love. The apocalyptic division among angels and men is compelling and well-researched, and the romance between Sophie and Joseph is natural and honest. The end of the world never felt so truly imminent. A must-read for women and teens!

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!

Yoke is a real page turner, making you think from beginning to end. Characters are sensational and believable and looking forward to their continuing endeavors. Ragland has raised new and timely issues that people really need to get thinking about before it is too late. Cannot wait for Book Two. maurice verde, etudent de religions

loved it waiting on the next book

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!
