Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts
5.0

Wow

This was a very dark read at times and very confusing. However, this book is meant to portray this dark and uncomfortable aura. I enjoyed being a captive in the dark. I enjoyed the darkness that lured in the corners.

Reread, so review update;

Looking back at baby me and thinking this was dark.. when in fact I have now read darker. But I still hold onto the fact that this made me uncomfy my first time around.

Captive in the Dark follows Olivia, who obtains the nickname Kitten by her captor, and her Captor Caleb. Caleb is out for revenge and in order to get close to the person he wants to take down, he has to work in the skin trade, aka training and selling sex slaves. He manages to get himself seen and known when he comes across a young woman he takes a liking to her and knows she will be the perfect candidate for his plan.

What Caleb doesn't plan on is his kitten to be very different than the girl he saw on the streets. Olivia has lived her entire life to be docile and never to be seen, but this is just an act that she puts on in the daylight in order to save herself from predators. And when she is being held captive, she shows Caleb just who she is. And because of this, Caleb begins to grow weak for her.

Olivia is cunning and smart, she ends up using Caleb's infatuation with her to her advantage.

The biggest problem, is that Caleb needs her to enact his revenge. But can he do it??
