Captive in the Dark

This is a cliffhanger but all the books have been released. Dark books are not something I gravitate towards but I've read good things about this series by people I follow via Goodreads, Twitter and Facebook so I thought why not (author will also be at a signing I'm attending soon). I thought the author did a good job portraying the emotions and mental state of both Livvie and Caleb. I so want Livvie to get what she truly deserves and even though Caleb is just one big ball of fucked-up by the end of this book dare I say I had hope.

DID NOT FINISH

DNF @ 59%

I'm honestly shocked by all of the good reviews of this story. I read it in e-book version, and not only did I find it full of poor grammar, misspellings, and other things editors are supposed to find, but I found the story to be just another harlequin romance story under the guise of something "edgy." Predictable story line, dull characters, so dull, in fact, that I didn't even care when bad things happened to them. It was obvious from the first second that Livvie would "fall" for Caleb; the author didn't even bother to make a struggle out of it. Caleb is the typical "bad boy" of harlequin trash: a very slightly kinky (read: what vanilla people think kinky is)guy who deep inside is a poor damaged little boy who just wants to be loved. Livvie is supposed to be a slave being prepared in some way for being sold to an unseen (and undeveloped) villain, but she isn't trained or prepared to be a slave, save for half-assed brainwashing ("Your name is Kitten."...and that's it) and Caleb's avoiding taking her virginity. And of course she's a virgin...that's another stereotype. I'm not meaning to be rude to anyone who enjoyed this book, it obviously has some appeal to some people, but for me, it held no suspense, weak characters, half-assed eroticism, and an excessively formulaic storyline.

No ma'am

Oh My Gosh!! I don't even know what just happened!

Mind fuck. I don't think I'll read the next one.

ok I have to find out what happens next. damn cliff hanger.

This book was a whole bunch of craziness! At first, I felt a little disturbed reading what was going on between the two main characters. But then, the sick feeling went away and I wanted to know more. I become curious!

It's a great read (if you can get past the whole concept of enslavement or sexual abuse).

Not as impressed with this as I thought I would be. =/ A full review to come later.
