M. Alane Vespera is an artist, teacher, mother, and nature enthusiast. Originally from the East Coast, she holds a bachelor’s degree in fine art and a master’s in art education. Her creative journey has spanned painting, wheel-thrown pottery, fiber arts, alternative process photography, and printmaking—now culminating in her passion for storytelling. For the past two years, she has been completely immersed in Greek mythology retellings and Romantasy novels, rarely seen without a book in hand. When she’s not writing, she enjoys yoga, cooking, and exploring the lush flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. M. Alane Vespera lives riverside with her husband, two sons, two goofy German Shepherds who fancy themselves as valiant nobles, a sassy Russian Blue cat with attitude to spare, and a flock of whimsical chickens who cluck secrets only the wind understands.

I was hooked from the very beginning—those first three chapters pulled me in fast! The world-building, though brief, was incredibly engaging and gave me just enough to feel immersed without slowing the pace.

What really kept me turning pages, though, was the banter—so much witty, flirty back-and-forth between the love interests that I found myself grinning like an idiot. I absolutely love when a main character is confident but also goofy, and Noel hit that balance perfectly. She felt real and refreshing.

And the ending? That cliffhanger was chef’s kiss—I’m already counting down the days until the next book.

Side note: I may or may not have developed a massive crush on Noel’s brother. No regrets.

Visionbound's vivid storytelling, engaging characters, and emotional depth is a great start to this new novel series. Combining sci-fi, post-apocalyptic themes, space travel, and a hint of romance, it manages to balance intensity with charm and humor. With a cliffhanger ending and mysterious prologue, I am eagerly awaiting the sequel!
