I’ve been WAITING for this book since I first read Darkness & Light. Ethan Holloway is by far my fav Holloway boy – and fav book boyfriend.

So what can I say about this book? I know Ms. Belfield nibbled her nails away when ARCs went out, but …

She has nothing to worry about.

Yummies: Absolutely everything.

Caged delivers. In a BIG way. We finally get a glimpse into Ethan. What drives him. What undoes him. All wrapped up in one thrilling ride.

I just want you all to know that for a prego woman to...more

WOW, I love my pack! Yes, after spending so much time with the Holloway pack, I will claim them as mine. Although, I am willing to share because they are so amazing and fabulous, you MUST read their stories!

This story picks up a few months after Resonance leaves off, except it continues from Ethan’s point of view. Ethan is the humongous, gorgeous older brother of Sean Holloway. Our story starts with a mystery- another missing person report. Only this one, Ethan has a personal connection to. As t...more

I received an E-Arc of this one from J Taylor publishing in exchange for y honest review and opinion. I am part of J.A. Belfield's Blog Tour in September but had to read the book now! Everytime I went on my kindle it was there and the Holloway Pack were quite literally calling to me lol! So I read it rather earlier than originally planned.
So the cover is . . .erm .. .great, we have a . .. hmmmm....picture of the gorgeous Ethan Holloway on it. Though on the cover he is trapped in a cage (not good). I love the byline "His reputation precede's him" Ethan does have a reputation of not being beaten in a fight, and he would fight to the death to protect those he cares about. So I love the cover! Would I pick it up in a book store? Of course I admit to being totally addicted to this fantastic series.
In this book we are back to the Pack. It's all about fighting and sort of survival of the fittest.
Now the plot/storyline . . .So Gabe has gone missing, so of course the Holloway Pack are called by his mum Shelley and start looking for him. Ethan and Kyle are trapped and end up in cages. So they do find Gabe? Yes, just perhaps not the way they would have preferred and now I've given you enough . . . The blurb tell's us about the fight Ethan has to face, will he win, will he fight to the death as they people in charge want him to? We also learn about other shifter's in this book, there's Brook the panther, more wolves from different packs, and there's Lauren who even those that have captured her don't know what she is or can do. Not everyone survives, there are casualties. The "kidnappers" expect the different races to fight each other to the death.
This book concentrates mostly on Ethan, and we learn more about him as a person, though we did know he was a "good guy" and protective too. We also see a softer side to "Uncle Ethan" I think we can safely say whether boy or girl, Jem and Sean's baby will have "Uncle Ethan" wrapped around his/her little finger and I'm looking forward to more of that and the change in the dynamic of the pack that the birth will create.
Wow this book is action packed! You are literally sat on the edge of your seat whilst reading this one. What else can I say? "wow, Ethan!" In this book we had fun with the characters we know well, got to know some of the other characters better (Gabe and Shelley), and met some new characters (the Brosens Pack, and Brook, & Lauren). I hop some of these new characters continue to interact with the Holloway Pack family too. We even had a little bit of Jem's sister Jess in this book, just a brief appearance though.
This book is... well as fantastic as ever, Yeay The Holloway Pack! What more can I say? When's the next one??
So did I enjoy this book? YEEESSS! Would I recommend? I'd recommend the Series! Would I read the next book in the series?Yes, when's it available? Would I read other work by J.A. Belfield? Definitely! One word description for the book? Exceptional!

I am going to start this review by saying I don't read romance. I have read exactly two romantic novels at my wife's recommendation. Nothing against the genre, I just usually read things with explosions and other stereotypical guy junk.

Okay, that's out of the way. The actual review starts here:

I've never read any of the other Holloway stories, but Caged was great. Sure there was a small romantic part to the plot, but the majority of it relied on suspense and action and werewolves. All of which a...more

Disclaimer: I had no experience with the preceding Holloway Pack stories before reading my advanced reader copy of “Caged”, and I dislike sex scenes and profanity. Those obstacles aside, however, I did enjoy the book. Ethan is largely to thank for that.

I’m happy to say that the hype I’d heard from those who’d met him before me has not proven groundless. Ethan’s fun and loyal (not to mention British and a werewolf, both of which score “coolness factor” points with me), and his heroic heart had me...more

I got a copy in exchange for an honest review.

As soon as I got the e-mail with the ARC of Caged I knew it would be my next read. I just couldn't wait to read what would happen. And I was especially curious because Caged is from a different point of view than the earlier books in this series.

At first I had some trouble adjusting to the new pov, I knew it would be from a different pov, but it was still weird. Soon I got a sense of who Ethan was and got used to his pov. The beginning of Caged was a...more I got a copy in exchange for an honest review.

As soon as I got the e-mail with the ARC of Caged I knew it would be my next read. I just couldn't wait to read what would happen. And I was especially curious because Caged is from a different point of view than the earlier books in this series.

At first I had some trouble adjusting to the new pov, I knew it would be from a different pov, but it was still weird. Soon I got a sense of who Ethan was and got used to his pov. The beginning of Caged was a bit slow, I knew there would be danger and someone would get captured so I just wanted that to happen already, I also saw danger in everything and it was a little bit frustrating the characters didn't, but obviously they didn't know there would be danger. Another problem I had was that I didn't really feel the romance, only at the end of the book I actually began thinking they would make a good couple. I am not sure why I just didn't feel their connection and it is explained they already knew each other, but the reader hasn't read about this, so it stil felt a bit like insta love.

When the danger finally arrived I couldn't stop reading and when I put the book down I just kept thinking about it and picked it up again. The middle part of the book is really good and had that keep-reading-feel. After that there is a slow patch again. There is also this escape scene and it felt like everything got so slowly and I just kept thinking hurry up! Escape already! The ending came with a nice surprise and it wrapped this storyline up nicely. The ending was really sweet and it made me sad it was over.

In this book we get to know different characters better than in the previous books. Because of the different pov I got a much better idea of who Ethan was and what kind of person he is. We also get more information about Josh and Nathan. And I liked seeing Jem from another perspective. There are also some new great characters we meet in this book, I really liked Lauren and Brook. Both are great characters and I instantly liked them.

This book also broadens the world again. New supernatural races are introduced and the danger ofcourse. I liked learning more about the world, but I would've liked learning even more. There are some loose ends that aren't explained enough. And some background about some characters I would've liked learning more about. Also about some supernatural races and powers there isn't much explanation, although it is understandeable from the pov, but still I would've liked learning more about them.

To conclude: I really enjoyed this book, but there were also some parts I didn't like and some slow parts. I liked the different point of view, although it took me some time to adjust to the different pov. I liked seeing everything from Ethan's point of view and meeting new characters. There are some awesome new characaters introduced in this book. I think the middle parts of this book is the best, I wanted to keep reading, but I didn't really feel the romance. The world building is interesting, but I would've preferred more. All in all an enjoyable read. And I can't wait to read where the author takes this series from here.(less)

Lucky me! I got an early look at Caged, and I can promise that you won't be disappointed. Belfield hits a grand slam with her latest Holloway Pack novel. It's impossible to put down and will leave you jonesing for more. :)

I had the honor of winning Julie's own printed ARC of Caged, which came with red notes in the sidebar, which made this an even better read!

Dare I say I loved Ethan even more than Sean? Yes I do!

It's hot, it's exciting, it's fun, it's action-packed, it's my favorite Hollow Pack Story so far!

I devoured this book, I had to go grocery shopping once, but other than that I read it in one sitting/laying/sitting again (etc, you readers know what I mean!)

Awesome! Better than Blue Moon? Totally different (yet the same)... like choosing between icecream flavors.
