Taken (Ava Delaney #4)
by
Claire Farrell (Goodreads Author)
It’s been months since Ava fooled the British vampires and dealt with Becca for good, but although life has been easier, it’s not without its problems.

This is one of those, "take it for what it is" type of books. It's a young adult paranormal mystery (with a hint of romance) that you can buy for $3 on Kindle. It's meant to be fast and fun, and it is.
Since I read the rest of the series over six months ago, I had a hard time remembering all the little complex side-plots, but Claire Farrell did a good job weaving it all in. This is not a seris you can skip books in, though. The cast of characters and intrigues is quite complicated (but in a good...more

Finally Amazon is not being retarded and I can start Taken. Yay.
Unfortunately, this was not one of my favorites of the series

There are quite a few things I really like about this series. It's fast paced UF that's anchored on the darkside. I love the cast of characters especially their range of personalities and the way they stand beside Ava. I am not crazy about Ava but she grows on me more with each book. The story is told in first person so the reader is ever aware of Ava's frustration and OCD which manifest as counting.

This is where I think the series starts getting good. The characters are pretty well developed, they have there place and are feeling familiar, and we start to understand and really like them. The relationships are so important for me in a book. I should also mention that these books have a LOT more swearing and sex scenes than I usually like, but for whatever reason I kept reading this time. It didn't feel sick and twisted to me, just fowl mouthed. Peter's bloodlust is a bit disconcerting, but...more
It was a slow read for me also...took me 2 weeks to even plough through the first couple chapters! Thank goodness I read the other reviews & tried to keep on reading since many of the readers guaranteed light at the end of a very boring tunnel lol! It all turned around for me when Emmett was introduced in the book. I could not put it down!

Just finished this and what can I say except excellent! Ava and Peter's relationship is improving and has a potential to grow. She is much more comfortable in her abilities and has learned a lot about who she can trust. Gabe has left me wondering and I am appalled at Aiden and his cold behavior. Wondering who is really pulling the strings on the council now...looking forward to the next installment and the war that is inevitably going to happen... Great read!
I started this series thanks to the first being free. Considering I made it to this final one (and more hopefully on the way), it's not a bad story. The first three were exceptionally exciting and hard to put down, but this one was slightly less thrilling. However, it is still a good read. I am looking forward to the next book, which I'm sure will follow. Hopefully soon ;)
Okay The book started a little slow for me but it started to pick up and turned out leaving me ready to read the next book! Poor Ava she has to learn not to trust anyone and in this book I think she has. At the same time the key players think they are making all the choices but I think in the next book that is about to change with out them realizing it. I can not wait for the next book to come out and fingers crossed that Ava makes changes for the better of everyone :0) GO REBELS!!!

Ok so after three books this is the relationship we get? Sigh. I like happy endings. Cliché, I know. I can't help being disappointed in the dynamics between Ava and Peter. It's a big let down. I like Ava and I want her to be happy. Call me crazy.
I love all of Claire's books but this series is addictive. I could not put this book down. I have no nails and I'm already anxious for the 5th book. A must read very fast paced.. it was an action movie mixed with suspense all in my head. <3<3<3
It was a slow start but after it picked it up.. it was.. amazzing.. and i am looking forward to the next book soooo soooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooooo much! :)

Am currently reading this book, and have to say, its going pretty good!! lol i love Shay, instanty fell in love with his humanity, and....well sweetness lol
Great read. Good mixture of action, humor and emotional stuff. Love Ava - she's a great female lead character. Would highly recommend this series.
Ava is finding out more about herself and about the others around her. I enjoyed seeing a few issues resolved.

Dying for the next one can't wait to get it...
Can't wait for the next book
Weird how it happens... I picked up this book sometime ago and didn't feel interested after 30 pages so I put it down and started a new one. Picked it up again a few days ago and finished it in 3 sittings (mostly one). I can't wait for the 5th book!! It should be full of action, deceit, strategy and Ava finally purposely kicking ass!! Another unexpected turn is that I'm over Peter and want some more Shay time. Come on Ava don't let me down with action or romance!
Loved it and the whole series, I can't wait for the next book (hopefully will be one) as I want to see how Ava's story....
Really good book. Looking forward to the continuation of the series. I love the interaction between the characters who beoome friends. It drives me crazy that I am not sure who to trust among the others.
Can't wait see what happens next
