But Jack was right, they did have company
and Braith was itching for a fight. He was itching for blood. He wanted to take
his fury and frustration out on someone, and the king’s loyal soldiers were a
good start. He slipped silently through the trees with the others, keeping an
eye on the shifting shadows as he honed in on his prey. He thought he should be
apprehensive about the thrill, the excitement and bloodlust that coursed through
him, but he wasn’t. He’d do whatever it took, become whatever was necessary, to get her back. He didn’t care who
he had to destroy in order to do it.
Crouching behind a tree, he closed his eyes
against the distracting shadows. Drawing upon the senses he’d honed during his
hundred years of blindness, he was able to get a clearer picture of what was
going on around him than if he had been using his broken eyes. His ears alerted
him to the approach of the men, his nose picked up their scent long before they
reached the crest of the hill. He was silent, as still as stone as he listened
and waited for the soldiers to move closer.Then, as the men rounded the top of the hill, and all he knew was the darkness that the world had become, he slipped from behind the tree and descended upon the men like an avenging demon. Something he feared he might actually become. He felt dark enough to be one, felt hollow and hate filled enough to have come straight from the depths of hell.
As he drove the first soldier into the ground, he realized that he hadn’t slipped into the darkness that a demon would possess. He’d slipped into the darkness that the king possessed. What was inside of him now was what he’d often seen reflected in the eyes of his father. The worst part, he realized as he destroyed first one vampire, and then another, was that he didn’t care. He welcomed it, embraced it, and relished in the death as it briefly calmed his tormented spirit.

thanks Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer! I'm glad you enjoyed them so much! I am considering doing something with Jack but have to finish the Kindred and Ravening series before I really think about it:)
DeleteI know you probably hear this a lot but you are such an amazing writer! I absolutely love the Captive Series, June can't come quickly enough. Please come to London and do a book signing, I would totally travel 3 hours so I could meet you:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle! I might take you up on that:)
DeleteI love your books. You are such an amazing author. I have read all of your books that I could find on Amazon for the Kindle e-readers. I know that I will get all books in all three series that I have of yours. I cant wait for them to come out. I am so looking forward to them. Thank you for your writing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lana!
DeleteOh, I'm SO happy that "Salvation" will be released on June 8th!! I've just finished reading "Captured", and loved it!! Since I already have "Renegade" and "Refugee", I'll be able to continue with the story right away. Then I'll have to wait a couple of months...oh, well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating these books!! I LOVE Braith and Aria!! :)
Thank you Maria! I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
DeleteI love your writing. I have cried over the possibility that Aria will not be with Braith. I get so wound up in stories thatit is hard to wait to read more. My life is so tied up with work and misery that stories like yours help me get away. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shannon, I'm glad you enjoyed them!
DeleteNooooooo! Don't make me wait! Here I'm sniveling and drying my tears after finishing Refugee at 2am in the morning, thinking Aria is going to get herself killed, all to save Briath . . . And I feel like the rug got pulled out from under my feet to learn I have to wait 3 MORE MONTHS to find out what happens--Augh, this is torture!
ReplyDeleteSorry Sophie, but I'm glad you enjoyed them!:)
DeleteHi Erica,
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing writer and your world in the capture series is simply mind blowing.....I absolutely love Braith and Aria but please dont seperate them....I love stories without love triangles where the H n H are there for each other thru whatever life throws at them and your book is a wonderful example of it.....It will become perfect if they could have there HEA after all the trials they have gone thru...:-)Cant wait till june to find out what you have planned for them
Thanks
Neha
Thank you Neha! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
DeleteI've read all three captive books in about a week. I can't wait for the next one. Exceptional story telling. Vampire/human world like I've never entered before.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed them! Thank you!
DeleteI am so anticipating this book! I LOVED the entire series thus far and I was left feeling empty when I finished Refugee! You are an absolutely awesome writer! You have had me on the edge of my seat. I have not had a predictable moment in any of the books yet. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Travie! I'm glad you enjoyed them! :)
DeleteI am eagerly awaiting this book. I cannot wait to see what becomes of Braith and Aria. I hope that Aria convinces Braith to turn her. I could not stand it that they are not together. It is unfortunate that Braith's brother and father have had her blood. I have always hated when authors get a couple together and the reader to embrace the love affair only to rip them apart. Please give a teaser as to how the love of Braith and Aria ends up. I will probably cry if they are not together at the end of this series. Ruling over the vampires and sending peace throughout the land between vampire and human.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed them so much!
DeleteGreat series. Love it. Thank you for creating such a enthralling and enticing work. Looking forward to the next book with great anticipation.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
DeleteWhile scanning my Kindle I came across Captured for free, So I purchased it and ended up reading it from 10pm-3am finishing the book in one day. (Boy was I tired at work the next day) I made my husband give me his credit card the next day(only because I couldn't find his wallet in the middle of the night) to purchase Renegade and Refugee which both were read in three days. I am so excited that Salvation is coming out in a matter of weeks. Will this be the last book in the Captive Series??
ReplyDeleteLol I'm so glad you enjoyed them that much! This will be the last book in the Captive series, but I am considering doing something with Jack after :)
DeleteI can not find "Salvation" on Amazon to preorder. Did the release date change?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Indy authors aren't able to set up their books for pre-order. But it will still be out on June 8 :)
DeleteIs this the same for iBooks?
ReplyDeleteNo unfortunately it has to go through a longer screening process and make take a couple of weeks for ibooks. The smashwords link can be used to purchase it for apple products though :)
DeleteGreat!! Thank you :).... I couldn't wait a few more weeks, the suspense is killing me.lo,
DeleteWhen will Salvation be available on Kobo?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it will be there by the end of the week!
DeleteYaay! Oh man, the wait is killing me!
DeleteHi can you advise what the release date is for this audiobook?
