BOUND by C.K. Bryant

When a photo shoot ends in tragedy, Kira discovers her best friend, Lydia, has been keeping a secret. Knowing the truth, and accepting it, will change Kira’s life forever and thrust her into a world of ancient curses, magical objects, and savage enemies. What happens next will challenge everything Kira knows about her world, herself and the shape-shifting warrior she’s falling in love with. No longer the timid mouse her mother accused her of being, but a woman who finds the mental and physical strength to endure and survive.

BOUND is a heroic tale of true friendship, infinite sacrifice and untamed love.

First Line:
"Kira glanced up at the silver eye hook screwed into the gym ceiling."

 Interesting story with tough characters.
The story starts out in a high school gym and ends with a lot of fantasy and a stronger main character who is in all sorts of trouble and fights.
The action is fast, the plot twisting and characters always fighting for their lives.
I admit, some parts I skimmed because my brain couldn't take in any more action.
