Branded Captive by Addison Cain

Sweet Holy Titfire.
There is just something about this OmegaVerse that draws me in. If this was real life I would be throat kicking a man who acted this way. However, it isn't real life and for that, I am thankful because if it was I would miss out on some of the most titillating and tantalizing stories that leave me fanning myself and whispering to myself, "Let your freak flag fly!" I embrace this new addiction of mine. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING this author writes leaves me teetering on the abyss of "I shouldn't like this BUT I do" and it is for that reason that I will continue to drink that little potion and fall down the rabbit hole. I know she will push my boundaries and that is okay. She is a master wordsmith and creates a world and characters that are more than just make-believe even though in fact THEY are make-believe. Yet, while in the story the world becomes real. Instead of watching it on a box in my living room where images are projected I get it in the form of a book and my mind is projecting the images. I see, feel, hear, and even taste everything as if I am the character.
This book was no different. I felt for Wren. Just like any Addison Cain heroine before her, she is not a weakling. She fights even if she knows in the long run that she cannot possibly win. The males in this story are just as distinct. Caspian, Kieran, and Toby all have specific roles. This is not an easy world. Somehow they manage to make it work. I sense in the future that they are going to be knocked for a loop by what a little Wren can do to upturn their lives. They might have all the power but it posits for how long?
This was a short story. It was the first part of what will be a trilogy. I didn't want it to end, yet, that is nothing new. I never want her words to end. I look forward to whatever comes next in her crazy mind. I am not meaning that in a disparaging way. In fact, it is a compliment because her kind of crazy fits nicely in my world and shows me that I am not alone.
