Magnus Blackwell’s past is about to catch up with him.
An evil force has seized New Orleans. Pestilence, suffering, and darkness cloak the city. The citizens are scared and need their mambo to guide them, but Lexie Arden can’t help anyone. A diabolical presence has taken Lexie’s power and severed her ties with the other side.
Magnus Blackwell is fighting demons of his own. Torn between his devotion to Lexie and a spirit from his past, Magnus’s loyalty is put to the test. He must revisit his sins to uncover the key to the hatred ripping the city apart. If he doesn’t, Lexie’s reign as mambo will end.
Their search for answers leads them deep into the darker realms of voodoo—until a desperate Lexie does the unthinkable, and Magnus can do nothing to spare her from her fate.

My review:
5*
Bound is the 2nd book in the Magnus Blackwell series by Alexandrea Weis with Lucas Astor. I do suggest you read book 1 before starting book 2. I did not read book one and know although I thoroughly enjoyed Bound I would of enjoyed it even more if I had of read Damned book 1 first. There are a lot of references to events in book one and at times I was sad I did not know fully know what happened. 

In the book Lexie is the New Mambo of New Orleans. She is trying to prove herself when she looses her powers. Bad things are starting to happen all over New Orleans and Lexie is powerless to set things right at the moment. Magnus Blackwell is a ghost, his job is to keep Lexie safe. When Lexie lost her powers he gains them, but he cannot do everything Lexie can from the spirit world, and with no powers Lexie cannot do much either. 

The book is basically a mystery as well. Lexie and Magnus must figure out who is causing the trouble, save New Orleans, and also get Lexie's powers back.
