Racheal Leah Dawes is a girl just trying to make it through the day. She lost her father years ago and she has not been alright since. Her mother has not been able to deal with the death of her husband or Rachel's twin brother who was stillborn. Rachel works in a safe job (library) and does things like checks locks lots of times, goes the same way to work, does not go out on the weekend, does not take chances. She may go out occasionally with the only person she trusts - her best friend Lacey. But she mostly feels unsafe in the world.From the time she was little, she always felt like there was someone watching her. A guardian angel if you will. In fact she knows she has seen him. He has shown up when Rachel was in trouble a few times but no one ever could seem to identify him. They just knew someone saved her. This man is following her again and his is present to her strongly. She decided to go see a therapist who assures her this is normal and a coping mechanism to deal with the loss of her dad. But one day she feels he is walking behind her and turns to confront him and that is where her crazy journey begins.
Enter Eaden. He is an immortal. He is not a warewolf or a vampire, he is just someone who cannot die. He has been around since the days of King Arthur. And he is drawn to Rachel because of a certain trait she has. Eaden had been on earth long enough and wants to die. He has been protecting Rachel because she is his Mafteach or key to a final death. Immortals, the longer they live, tend to start to go crazy. Eaden has had enough and it is time to die. But he has watched over Rachel for so long, since she was a baby, that he cannot bring himself to use her as his key or Mafteach. Not to mention when Rachel turns to talk to him that fateful day, there is a connection. And as their relationship grows, he falls in love with her. And she with him.
The problem is this. There was never a female Mafteach before in the history of mortals so Rachel is genetic abnormality. And she turns out to be not only Eaden's key, but the key for many other immortals. So it is Eaden's job to keep her safe because there are people like Amun and Sabas who wish to use her for his own selfish purposes. Rachel holds the key to a world of mortals and immortals and the whole balance between them.
Since she has this genetic abnormality and can bring about big changes in the immortal world,as well as the mortal world. But they are not necessarily all good. Eaden is very protective of Rachel and their adventure starts as they set out to go before The Counsel to explain why Rachel should stay alive and not be used for what they are intending to use her for.
The have help from another immortal Amerlyn who turns out to be a famous character is history. And they are helped on their mission also by some of the Sisters of Caillech, mainly Elora, Mara, and Sita. They have powers that can help Rachel and Eaden on their way to the Counsel.
This was a great fantasy with some mystery and a great love story. It shows just how far someone will go to be with who they love and what they will sacrifice for someone they love. And it is on Rachel's and Eaden's side that the love and the self-sacrifice exists.
If you want to read a good book and go on a great journey with a love that transcends time, this is the book for you.

Unbound All Good Things Book 1 eBook Georgia Bell Reviews
I love books that step outside of the "typical" paranormal themes. You know, werewolves, vampires, demons, angels (as much as I love them, there are getting to be quite a few).
Unbound isn't your typical paranormal romance.
For starters, Rachel isn't a doting 18-year-old. She's anxious, sometimes to the point of OCD. And more than anything else, she's lonely. She lost her father, whom she was close to. He made her feel loved and safe. Once he was gone, so was that feeling. Rachel realizes that she'll never get the chance to be close to her mother because her mother has never quite moved past losing Rachel's twin in birth. Rachel feels as if she's living in the shadow of someone who's never even been there.
Then there's Eaden (I'm not sure if that's pronounced 'Eden' or 'Aiden', and that bugged me, so I stuck with 'Eden'.). He's been watching Rachel since she was little, always in the shadows, protecting her, and saving her. Rachel trusts him, which, at first (at least for me) seems a little creepy because Eaden comes off as more of a "caring stalker" in the beginning. He's always there, watching her, never approaching her unless she's hurt or in danger. Sometimes, it's not so much as she sees him, as much as it is that she can feel when he's near. He makes her feel safe, which is why she's not concerned.
Rachel finds out that Eaden's immortal and the reason she can feel him is because she's the genetic "key" that was supposed to help him die (killing her in turn). Her genes being engineered by the immortals long ago as an end to their time on Earth before becoming insane. However, Eaden renounced his intention of dying when he fell in love with her, launching them into an unforeseen predicament with the immortal council.
Rather than become an experiment for the council, Rachel takes matters into her own hands.
One of the reasons I like this book is that Rachel's not a dopey, love-struck teenager. She doesn't worship Eaden, she loves him. And that comes with doing whatever she has to to protect him the way he's always protected her. I like that, aside from her fear and anxiety, Rachel stands on her own feet, even though she sometimes needs encouragement and reminders of how strong she really is. She doesn't do everything Eaden says, and most often, battles against him, his will, and his wishes. It's nice to see a character whose brain doesn't turn to mush (aside from that whole 'being okay with a stalker' thing) at the sight or mention of a male.
I kind of had to trudge through the first 25% of Unbound, because it moved a bit slower than my attention span appreciated. But once Rachel and Eaden met, like actually met, it picked up and was easier to stay with. However, there was a part, where Rachel, Eaden, Amerlyn and Mara are traveling through the Scottish Highlands (I know, right?!) on horseback that seemed terribly drawn out. I admit, I skimmed most of the trip.
The dialogue in Unbound is a little formal, but seeing as how Rachel studies history and Eaden's 1,500 years old, I suppose it's fitting. I'm pretty sure he's supposed to appear as if he's Rachel's age, because at one point she kind of mentions it while watching him sleep, but Bell did a great job of portraying his real age in his wisdom and speech.
That's another thing, throughout the book, you're never really given more than minimal physical descriptions. Aside from some hair and eye color references (Mara's hair's black with a streak of purple, Stuart's hair is red), and an ethnic remark (Sita's Indian), you don't really get a feel for the looks of the characters which makes them hard to see.
Other than that, I actually really enjoyed this book. Once I got past the beginning, I couldn't put it down. The characters and their traits (especially the witches) are unique and easy to feel for. The story isn't one you've read a hundred times.
I received a complementary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way shaped or influenced my opinion.
