I didn't like it as much as the first in the series, since it didn't list the titles of the chapters with phobia's, which I found very interesting. It was well written and I highly enjoyed reading it, until someone died, but didn't?

I liked this book better than the first. It's very easy to read, and I enjoyed the character development. However, I became annoyed with Zara. She's extremely immature and doesn't stop to think before acting. I'm interested on finding out if everything was just a Pixie trick.

Was a reread from high school, but I hit a reading slump and just didn’t get into it.

Zara is a little on the whiny side but latter she finally gets a backbone. So if whiny characters bug you I do not recommend this book. The story is good enough to offset the whiny characters in my opinion though. Great plot line. Intriguing and unique story. A little repetitive in parts but still a very good read.

The second book of the Need series continues with where it last left off. I was really excited to read more of Zara, whom I thought was an independent, loving person, but I ended up uber dissapointed. Captivate is a pretty ironic name, since I experienced nothing close to captivation. Authors shouldn't put thoughts into their readers' heads from their titles. This second installment deals with the unmentionable importance of Nick and Zara's (sappy and pukey) love for each other. It was cute at first, but the repetition of it bugged me! This book made me doubt how much I liked Need in the first place. Why would you make me doubt my (positive) feelings towards your first book from/with this second book?! You've ruined me, Jones. I won't be visiting your next book, Entice, either.
Another negative: Jones' writing style had NO flow and the plot had NO shape to it. All I noticed was the consistency to the development of the two lovebirds' relationship. I figured something was to happen soon to hinder their 'togetherness', and if that was the case..I would say "forget it", since it would be totally predictable. But I just couldn't wait to see if my prediction played out..Zara and Nick's (gross) infatuation for each other made me want to close the book and burn it immediately (but I didn't burn it only because it was a library book). :/

Carrie Jones is one of my favorite authors. I can only hope there will be a book # 3 about Zara and Nick.

Captivate starts a while after Need with Zara’s father being trapped in the house with his pixies and the friends are stopping other pixies which are arriving more often.
In the first half of the book Nick and Zara are in love, Issie is jealous of Devyn’s friendship with a girl called Cassidy. Also Zara, after rescuing a pixie called Astley, has an internal debate about whether all pixies are evil. I love the addition of Norse mythology as I did not know much about it and I found it fascinating.
The second half of the book is the saddest part in the entire series and I won’t spoil it for those who have not read it, but Zara has an important decision which could affect her life forever.
This is a captivating book with many twists and turns and I could not guess at the ending. I would recommend it to people who have read Need and those who like YA paranormal romances.
