The Holy Terror
rated it: 
Captivate picks up where Need left off. The first half of the book is pretty much about building up the importance of Zara's and Nick's relationship and how in love they are. They try to go on with their lives and live normally after imprisoning Zara's Dad and his pixie subjects. More pixies are coming to their town and they can't figure out why. Zara, Nick, Devyn, and Issie all capture the pixies that come to the town and trap them in the house. This is obviously only a temporary solution.

I Need more! I was completely Captivate-d..... I devoured this novel. This is such a fun and entertaining series, I absolutely loved it.
Zara, my favorite phobic is back, and even more entangled in a pixie web. I did not see the story developing this way at all. The introduction of Valhalla, took the story to a whole new level and I can not wait to see what Jones has in store for us next.

Captivate is the perfect title for this book because that’s exactly what it did. I was completely engrossed in this entire book. All of the suspense and action had me glued to the book. In the snowy state of Maine, Zara is dealing with the danger that her friends are in and the new pixies that are coming to town. Although she is half pixie, she is still tied to her human life style and emotions. New pixies have come to town when Zara realizes that she is not strong enough to protect everyon

Reading Captivate was so thoroughly unenjoyable that I found myself doubting how much I loved Need to begin with. Which is crazy, because I truly did enjoy Need and thought it was a great stand alone book.
So many probelems with Captivate I don't even know where to start. The story itself was....odd. There just wasn't a flow. Lot's of dangerous action scenes. Lots of pukey teen romace between Zara and Nick. But a clear plot never seemed to take shape. When everything was said and don More...

Captivate was an amazingly entertaining read. Like its predecessor, Need, the novel is full of creative elements. The words fly off the pages, sucking readers into this unique world that Jones has created. The plot picks up right where Need left off: Zara is beginning to settle into her new life with her grandmother, her relationship with Nick is going strong, everything seems to be a positive... except Zara's father.

O.k, so the first book didn't grab me, but I didn't give up and I'm glad I didn't. Finally all you YA romance\paranormal book lovers, I join your ranks. Don't ask me why, I'm not sure why this one grabbed me; why I was able to overlook its cliche's and bask in the story. Maybe it's my intense liking of the new love interest, Astley. There was breath holding, smiles, sighs and frustration when it ends on a cliffhanger.

Zara is half pixie and half human. In the previous book she and her friends managed to imprison her rogue pixie father and his followers. In this book we discover that more pixies have been arriving, because they are drawn to the power vaccum that has created. They will be after Zara because of her connection to the previous king and that will put Zara's werewolf boyfriend in danger. To make matters more complicated, one of the pixie kings appears to be good. He tries to convince Zara that

*Because this is a second in a series, I will be keeping this review short. I don’t like giving away parts of a book before you read it!*
Captivate by Carrie Jones wasn’t as good as the first in the series, Need. With that being said, I don’t think that it was bad. I feel like this was kind of the filler book before the real exciting part begins in the third and soon to be released, fourth books.

The second book of the Need series continues with where it last left off. I was really excited to read more of Zara, whom I thought was an independent, loving person, but I ended up uber dissapointed. Captivate is a pretty ironic name, since I experienced nothing close to captivation. Authors shouldn't put thoughts into their readers' heads from their titles. This second installment deals with the unmentionable importance of Nick and Zara's (sappy and pukey) love for each other. It was cute at f

This book picks up shortly after "Need" left off. Zara is with Nick and they're still fighting pixies. Her bio father is still trapped in the woods in the house with all the pixies, but once in a while they run into a pixie here and there and Nick either kills it or imprisons it.
Issie and Devyn are very much a part of this book too. I really like these characters because you just want them to be together. Zara runs into a pixie in the woods that is bleeding and tied to a t More...

Slightly better than the first, just. This story focuses once more on Zara and her friends. After locking up her pixie father with iron, they have been capturing any lone pixies and forcing them into them into the house too. Only doing this has meant that new kings are trying to take over the territory, and Zara is forced to choose her pixie heritage in order to save 'the love of her life' Nick. There's also something about an apocalypse and the end of the world, and of course Zara will be the o

This sequel was a fun read and the story had a creepy element that kept things balanced, but suspenseful. There was a different twist to this love triangle, because someone's (well, a few someone's) existence relied on its outcome. I don't dislike Astley, but I'm really so in love with Nick *swoon*. Nick and Zara's relationship is reeeeally tested in this book and there are a lot of fun twists and turns involved. There were several times throughout the story where I was audibly freaking out

This book was better than the first, because of Astley, and the writing style.
This new character, Astley, added a sort of mystical feel towards the book, and I enjoyed his and Zara's conversations. I thought her decision to turn was a bit reckless, and needed more pages for her to decide.
This reminded me of the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr. I do not know if that is good or not.
The imagery was same old same old, beautiful like always.

Thank goodness! This one was much better than Need for me. The story grew at a good pace and didn't seem forced. I wasn't bludgeoned over the head with the fact that it was cold or that they were in Maine. It seemed like the author let things develop at their own place and more organically. It also left more mystery for the next novel which I liked a lot.

I read Captivate straight after Need so it was very easy to get engrossed in the story and its characters again. It begins shortly after the first book Need and we find Zara and her friends facing more problems with the pixies as the needs of their King grows everyday as they remain shut away. Zara is plagued by guilt at this the decision she was forced to make to protect everything that means a lot to her as she fights for the freedom of individuals contained through Amnesty International.

There is a house deep in the woods hidden by glamour, fenced by iron and full of pixies. Everyday as more and more pixies show up in Bedford, Zara, Nick and her friends round up these pixies and trap them in this house. Everyday as more pixies are rounded up the house becomes more volatile, its occupants more deranged and it is only a matter of time till something gives.

But they soon learn that it is far from over, and their little Maine town is attracting more Pixies than they can handle. Unfortunately for Zara, two new Pixie Kings arrive on the scene and they want her as their Queen.

i read the first one, and was hooked. i then found the second one, and i couldnt stop reading. Zara, Nick, Issie, and Devyn has locked up the pixies that ruled over the place, including Zara's real father, A pixie king. But with the king locked up, their need for blood grows larger, attracting new pixie kings from all around to town. Zara meets Astley, a king who claims that he's different from the pixies that she's known so far, and that Zara is his queen.

Oh. Heh. That's pretty much how I started my review of NEED, the first book in this wonderful series by Carrie Jones. Sequels are tricky, especially when there is such massive book love of the first book. I'll admit it: I was nervous. I was so in love with the characters and story in NEED that I was afraid CAPTIVATE wouldn't live up to its predecessor. Big shoes and all that. Luckily, I had nothing to worry about.
