Umm this book kind of had everything I love in a book. Action, characters I want to hug and strangle at the same time and enough twists and turns that I sometimes felt like I needed a map! I am immediately starting the second one. I love my Kindle for letting me read some indie authors because a lot of this stuff is better than the mass produced stuff. Nenia Campbell rocks my socks.

Rating: 4.5/5

Mindfudged for real...

I probably need a week or three to come down from that high. This wasn't by all means a romance, Michael gave me all kinds of emotions: hate, disgust, compassion, sorrow, hurt, pity, affection, love... I wasn't expecting the last one at all, but I fudging did and now I want to know what happens next. I need to know what will happen to Michael. ( )

Envelope pushing and went places a lot of authors won't venture to in regards to "bad boy" good girl relationship. Now just because the author took it to the edge, over it at times, doesn't mean I thought she should.

Michael, the main man, is a dark character, and I seriously mean dark. He frequently hits Christina, the main chica, when he kidnaps her. It's not a pretty story and definitely had me feeling uncomfortable at times and quite frankly I'm not sure this could be called romance in general speaking.

However, even with all that said I was pretty absorbed into the storyline. And this was a storyline that tended to get a tad convoluted. It was edgy and suspenseful enough though to keep me reading. Apparently, this was written on fictionwise first or some site like that and it shows in the writing but can be dealt with.

Anyway, I'm about as conflicted about if and how much I liked this book as much as Christina's feelings about Michael. Maybe this book gave me Stockholm Syndrome too. Either way, I'll definitely be reading the sequel.

Read if you want to read about a lead male character who can only be called very darkest shades of grey, a lead female who is 18yrs old and bounces from weak to strong, a villain who has a lovely Irish accent and sadistic bent, and a strangely compelling storyline of shady agencies having their shady mercenaries doing their shady work.

Y el Oscar a la peor escena de "amor" es para...

¡Cloak and Dagger!

Esa escena juro que es la más triste que he leído... Y eso que leí la serie de Captive in the dark. Es increíble como Michael puede decir que ama a Christina y aun así violarla. Por lo menos en Captive las cosas podían justificarse porque su trabajo era convertirla en una esclava sexual, pero Michael lo hace por su propio placer, sin necesidad. Eso NO es amor.

Esto NO es una historia de amor.

Es una historia retorcida de como el archimalvado Adrian quiere conquistar el mundo, donde Christina y Michael tienen la malisima suerte de estar involucrados.

El final es bastante abierto, y aunque disfrute las escenas de acción, no hay nada suficientemente tentador como para hacerme querer leer las continuaciones. ( )
