Rating: 5 stars

Zara and her friends knew they hadn’t solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king’s needs grow deeper every day he’s stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It’s made him vulnerable. And now there’s a new king in town.

A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he’s one of the good guys. Nick isn’t buying it, though Zara isn’t as sure — despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it’s a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It’s her life — and his.

How I loved this book! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made happy, and it also made me sad. Carrie Jones has written another magnificent book! I loved this one even more than I loved Need, which I wasn’t sure was even possible.

Captivate picks up right where Need left off, and immediately gets readers caught up in Zara’s world. In Captivate, Carrie Jones built on the wonderful foundation Need set, and enhanced the world the story takes place in even more. Captivate wil captivate you from page 1 and take you on a whirlwind of emotions.

All the characters developed much more in Captivate. We got much more of Nick, who I’m still crushing on, and you get to know Zara much better. Plus, you meet a few new characters who are pretty cool.

This is another must read! This series is absolutely fantastic!
