OMG! It's finally here! I've been needing this book since I finished the last book, and I need the next one now. Too bad it doesn't work that way. I really need a time machine so that I can get all of Addison Cain's books without having to wait for her to write them. But then, the instant gratification may kill me, so I guess I might as well wait.

Wren is recuperating from her rebellion, and Caspian didn't go easy on her. She hurts, all over. And now, she's dealing with all the effects that Caspian and Toby's actions caused. Of course, they don't seem to be hurting the guys any, it's all on her. Isn't that always the life of an Omega? Kieran, though, he still seems to hate her, so that's all normal.

There are so many changes. SO. MANY. It kept my head spinning with everything going on. I had to go back and reread a couple of times just because I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss anything, I was that excited. I just barreled right through the book.

I still think that Caspian should die in a lake of hellfire and lava. In fact, I think that even more than ever. I hate Toby slightly less than before. He's at least trying. The surprising thing to me is that I'm starting to like Kieran. I really didn't like him all that much in the first books because I thought he was a total ash-hole, but maybe he's less of one than I thought.

I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next. ( )

Broken Captive part 3 of Wren's story was super dark and diabolic.
It was everything thing broken and messed up wrapped up in one big dirty filthy dystopian bow.
This wasn't romantic in any shape or form and Caspian, Toby and Kieran are psychotic power hungry man-whores who lack a basic conscience or any sort of compassion and empathy.
Well, I might give Toby a pass; hes just your garden variety psycho and can even be somewhat sweet in a scary serial killer sort of way.
But the point is the story should have had me screaming for the hills it's just that extreme and wrong.
But what should turn me the hell off here did the exact opposite and made me dig in my heels for the long haul.
So I originally swung back and forth between a four and five rating here but decided to go with my gut as this was such compelling reading that I couldn't put it down: whether you love this or hate it this is one story that you won't forget in a hurry its certainly in a league all of its own in that respect.
If you think you can handle this level of dark then this one certainly delivers on that front.
Just please be aware this series is hardcore and doesn't pull its punches one little bit.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of Broken Captive (Wren's Song, #3).
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Broken Captive

All the Stars. ALL. OF. Them. Whenever I see new words from this author appear I stop, as quick as I can, everything I am doing in order to consume these words. Today, I happened to be in my car waiting on my son as he was grabbing our pizza. I almost left him there. As it was, I sped(why is my autocorrect telling me this isn't a word... it is the past tense of speed but I digress) all the way home risking a speeding ticket because her words are that important.

After having made it home safely, I can say that the risk of getting a ticket and almost running over a pedestrian or two, was well worth it. This might be my favorite of the series yet. The story continues right where part two left off and it was intense. However, what stood out to me the most was that in this portion of the story, there is an added insight into the characters minds as they process the plethora of emotions, many of them foreign, that they are all experiencing. In the previous books, it was inferred what they were thinking or feeling and not given much depth. In this book that changed. They were not just acting on a primal urge(well they were in some ways) but there were legitimate emotions and thought processes also at play this time. This was much needed because it gave me, as the reader, a better idea of the dynamics behind each character. The author also expanded on her exemplary worldbuilding skills and gave me a deeper appreciation of the environment that these characters live in.

I liked watching each of the Alphas (Caspian, Toby, and Kieran) vacillate and grow in regards to the connection towards Wren. To my surprise, my appreciation toward Kieran grew tremendously. A few things come out in this story that made a few of the pieces fall into place. That being said, they all still have their moments where they need to be junk punched. Wren though, she just continues to ascend towards the pinnacle of being my favorite female character from this author. Her perseverance, strength, and unwavering ability to take the fractured and broken pieces (literally and figuratively) and meld them into something even stronger is inspiring. Her unwavering devotion to her kids, all of them, had me in awe. If only every "mother" loved unconditionally like that.

This author and her words are still my versions of the "drink me" potion from Alice in Wonderland. As long as she writes, any and all the words I will continue to fall down the rabbit hole for her. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next. ( )
