This had such a promising and wtf start the first half was fantastic. The second half was so stupid and different from the first. I saw someone say they DNFd at 90% which I laughed at but at 87% the sex scene had me cackling in the most cringy way so I fully understand. 
Such a shame this book had promise.

Captor by KM Mixon is an intense, pulse-pounding romance that grips you from the very first page and refuses to let go. The author’s writing is nothing short of masterful, weaving an intricate story filled with suspense, passion, and unexpected twists that leave you gasping at every turn.

One of the standout aspects of Captor is how well-written it is. KM Mixon creates an immersive atmosphere, blending just the right amount of tension with deep character development. The pacing is spot-on, and Mixon has a way of pulling you into the minds of the characters, making you feel every bit of the emotional highs and lows as if you were right there with them.

The twists and surprises in Captor are truly what set this book apart. Just when you think you know where the story is headed, Mixon flips the script, leaving you breathless and desperate for more. Every reveal is carefully plotted, and the shocks feel earned rather than forced, making the experience all the more satisfying.

And let’s talk about the spice—it’s incredible. The chemistry between the main characters is electric, and the tension builds in such a way that when things finally explode, it’s both steamy and intensely satisfying. The spice is well-balanced with the plot, never overshadowing the story but enhancing it. Mixon doesn’t hold back, delivering scenes that are both sensual and emotionally charged, leaving readers craving more.

Lastly, the male main character’s (MMC) dirty talk is absolutely top-notch. It’s not just about the words he says, but how he says them. Every interaction is dripping with heat, and the way Mixon writes the dialogue feels natural, adding a whole new layer to the characters’ dynamic. It’s seductive, powerful, and makes the connection between the leads feel even more authentic.

In conclusion, Captor is a brilliant, seductive thrill ride that combines suspense, romance, and spice in the best way possible. KM Mixon delivers a well-written, twist-filled story with unforgettable characters and explosive chemistry. If you’re looking for a book that will leave you breathless, Captor should be at the top of your list.

Honestly better than I anticipated and had good smut vibes but overall a little slow. After the big middle event, I lost interest and could not justify finishing. Not a bad read but not my favorite.

Honestly a new favorite dark romance! I thought I enjoyed Phantom… why Slate can kidnap me any day! 😍 I could not stop reading this book, I loved every second of it!! The plot twist towards the end had me freaking out and setting my kindle down for a minute to let my heart catch up with my brain 🤣 I love the slow start and the chaos and the building of their relationship from start to finish! 🥰

Captor is a dark mafia romance full of unexpected twists, betrayal, and spice. Check trigger warnings before reading as the list is pretty extensive from torture to kinks. Brynne and Slate are drawn together out in the wilderness and despite both of their intentions things quickly spiral out of their control. This would have been a easy 5 star read for me but ultimately I felt some of the plot points and twists were just too convenient.
