I can't stand this series. I want to punch myself in the face for continuing on and checking these out from the library. That's one thing though; I haven't spent a single dime on these books. Yes, I've spent a few hours reading them, but the investment has been small. I'd advise the same for any others out there who are curious about this series - check them out from the library, because then at least you'll hate yourself a little less when you've finished reading them and realize you've only wa More...

I've read Entice more than 5 times. I've listened to the audiobook every night since I got it (Dec 11th). THAT is how much I LOVE this book! I've been Team Astley since he was introduced in Captivate. I won't post any spoilers here. But I truly loved getting to know more about Astley and seeing him and Zara's relationship develop. Issie, Devyn, Cassidy and Grandma Betty were wonderful as well. Zara really matured in this book. And she is learning to accept the changes in herself and her circumst More...

Solaris rated it:

OH MY GOSH! Okay so first of all I thought this book was pretty awesome. It mostly concentrates on Zara and Astley finding Valhalla to save Nick. Along the way they both face a lot of loss and find that people aren't always as they seem. And your friends and family can sometimes leave the deepest scars. With only each other for company most of the time, Zara and Astley become quite close. But Zara soon finds out that he's not being completely honest with her about his past. Zara always says she More...

This review may also be found on A Thousand Little Pages.

3.5/5

Various predicaments have presented themselves to Zara since the death of her stepfather and the unwilling move to Bedford, Maine that followed. There is, of course, the whole pixie situation, but now Nick, her boyfriend and warrior werewolf, is gone, too. Zara, heartbroken and determined, allows the pixie king Astley to transform her into a pixie herself as a last resort to aid in the quest to retrieve Nick. The p More...

Ally rated it:

At the end of Captivate I was a complete Nick supporter. I was so sure that Zara and Nick were soul mates that it was almost religious... All that has changed. I am pro-Astley. Throughout Entice you fall in love with Astley. Its inescapable, he is caring and personal in a way that Nick can't possibly be as he lives in Valhalla, worlds apart from Zara. Where things will go from here, I am excited to find out!

This book was freaking amazing!

I really hope that Zara gets with Astley because he is the sweetest thing ever. I can't wait until the fourth book!

For some reason I thought this series was a trilogy and that this was the last one.... I was so very very wrong. There is going to be more!

Entice starts right where Captivate stopped.... Zara is a pixie... and she'll stop at nothing to find Nick. And she does not stop.... she will find him... or else. Don't read this next sentence if you have't read the book yet. (Was anyone else a little annoyed in Zara's quest.... I mean I'm glad she found him when she did, because I think if anyone More...

Taylor rated it:

Darn, I hate where the book ended- sorry but it ended with a sort-of cliffhanger and I don't like cliffhangers very much. Othervise Entice was really amazing. It picks off exactly were Captivate ends and basically all through the book, Zara is on a quest to save and bring back Nick. The plot does twist and turn a bit during the book (not in a bad way) and the relationship between Zara and Astley becomes stronger and as you may have guessed, Zara's got herself stuck in a love triangle.

**A disclaimer to anyone who doesnt like this review, New Moon & Breaking Dawn were my favorite Twilight books. I dont need action, but I DO need character development in a series!** Even though I put this book on my Amazing YA bookshelf I really wanted to put it on the Total Dissappointments shelf! If youve read the past 2 books you know that Zara changed into a Pixie to save Nick from Vallalah. SO one would expect that Entice is all about dealing with that change, a growth book, if you will More...

Zara and Nick are soul mates - they are meant to be together for ever. But that's not quite how things have worked out. For starters, Nick is dead, and has been taken to Valhalla, a mystical resting place for warriors. If they can find the way there, Zara and her friends will try to get him back. But even if they do, Zara's turned pixie - and now she's Astley's queen! Meanwhile, more teenagers go missing as a group of evil pixies devastate the town of Bedford. An all-out war seems imminent and Z More...

Life has gotten really crazy for Zara. Her soul mate Nick has been taken to Valhalla. She might be able to get him back, but she had to allow Astley, the Pixie King to turn her into a Pixie to save her life and make it possible to get to Valhalla. Nick may hate her for that but they still need him, because rogue Pixies are kidnapping teens from Bedford. [return][return]I will admit that I felt Captivate was pretty weak story and overall this was a more enjoyable read. Most of the focus of th More...

Entice is a book about a girl named Zara White. She has now been pixie kissed and has turned into a pixie queen. She did not turn to a pixie queen because she truly wanted to, but because she wanted to go to Valhalla and get her boyfriend Nick. Nick has died and is now in the resting place for warriors. Now as a pixie queen, Zara has the ability to go to Valhalla and get him.
My favorite part of this book was one she finally got to Nick. It was nice to know that she did this transformatio More...

Oh Carrie, Carrie, Carrie...
When I saw this book I thought it would be nice to see another take on the fae world, instead I get this mind-numbing crap. There was SO much promise, so many areas that could have been explored, and the only thing focused on is Zara's ignorant, arrogant boyfriend. News flash: no one cares!!
I dont know how the author could destroy such a great idea and reduce it to this. Your in the world of the Fae, you should have so many things to ask; how the systems More...

Anya rated it:

Personally,I think Entice was great. Jones drops all the crazy hullabaloo and gets on with the story fast. Maybe a little to fast to follow, but fast is good in fiction. Sort of. Anyway, despite the fact that the logic of the books mythology seems slightly mushed together by either word-weaving genius or plain-ol desperation, the book is intense, and the characters seem to have toughened up, faced reality and most importantly come alive. It seemed like real people facing a dreaded pixie invasion More...

This was an easy fast read, and picked up exactly where the second book left off. Zara is going to the school dance with Issie, Devyn and the elf girl whose name escapes my mind right now. At the dance, she spots 2 pixie girls trying to kidnap a boy. She puts and end to that. Then Astley shows up to tell her he may have a lead on how to get to Valhalla so she can get her wolf, (aka Nick).

This entire book is a quest for Zara to get Nick back. Thankfully her friends and her grandmother More...

Werewolves vs. Pixies. So to recap, Zara has now turned herself into a Pixie in a desperate attempt to save her werewolf boyfriend Nick. Astley plays a bigger role in this novel as Zara is now his pixie queen. And with Astley’s help Zara sets off to get Nick back. Only problem, wares hate pixies. Will Nick even still love her once she finds a way to get him back?

My thoughts…I loved loved loved NEED and loved CAPTIVATE, but I only liked ENTICE. This book was kind of slow and repetitive. More...

I adored this book. As for the question of, Nick or Astley, I'm Team Astley. I like Nick too, since book one, but I think he's too ordinary, despite the werewolf factor. He's sweet and all, but there's nothing about him that is really "wow". I do want to find out if he accepts Zara or not, but I believe he will. I really hope that Ms.Jones touches more on the virus and "he had to kill his dad" issue. I thought that was good character development for so More...

After reading Captivate, I had to know what happened next RIGHT AWAY! I couldn't handle the ending, so I had to know if Zara's quest, and her heart was going to be doomed! I needed to know if it was worth it! So I zooooomed through Entice, only to be all, "what?" THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BOOK! Wow. Boy did I feel dumb at that point.

Either way, I'm enjoying this series. It wasn't as creepy as Need was, but the story still had a purpose, the stakes just changed. Ni More...

I could have sworn this series was supposed to be a trilogy! I'd actually forgotten about the series, and then became excited when I could read Captivate and Entice together, thinking it was the end. Guess not.

The ONLY reason I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 4 is because Zara annoyed the crap out of me in this book. I admired her dedication to going to get Nick, but holy cow she practically ran over everyone just to get there. So many sacrifices were made to get him home, and it ju More...

I really did like this one. We got a ton of Astley, who is easily my favorite character at this point. We got to see Zara dealing with some of the consequences of her transformation. She started to get very conflicted about her feelings for Astley and it was all very go-go-go from the beginning.

The things I didn't like:

*spoilers*

The end was tied up in a neat bow for the most part, except that Astley was left out of that bow. He's constantly regulated to the outside More...

These books keep getting better and better, honestly they do. The narration is perfect, so descriptive. I've grown to love Zara more and more and I really like her, being able to see things as she does. If we're gonna start with the whole team thing (like, even though I hate it to say it, Twilight) I would definitely be team Astley no questions asked. He is so different to many of the 'book guys' out there and I love how we get to know more about him in this one, and how he doesn't hold back whe More...

Now that Nick has been captured to be a warrior and Zara kissed Astley to become a pixie queen, she is off on an adventure to get back Nick and return peace to her small town that is swarming with pixies. Zara will never give up finding Nick even though she meets devastation and obstacles all along the way! She has new responsibilities though now that she is Pixie Queen and she also has to deal with the family and friends that aren't exactly supportive of her new pixie self.

Nick may be dead, carried off by a Valkyrie to the mythical halls of Valhalla, but that doesn't mean that Zara is going to let him go. Zara will give anything to get him back, already she has given up her humanity but if her quest is to succeed more will be lost, lives will be sacrificed. Selfishly she risks all to get back her protector, her warrior, her boyfriend, but will he want her now that she has been kissed by a pixie?

What started out as a way for her to gain access to Valhalla More...

Entice is the third installment in Carrie Jones's Need series. Now, despite the fact that I own the previous two novels, I haven't read them yet. I received this for review for the Amazon Vine program and it is an audio book. To my surprise, I really enjoyed listening- though I still prefer actually reading. The person reading the story had a great voice. Now, that being said, I wouldn't recommend reading this as a standalone novel. It was absolutely enticing and I'm going to go back and read th More...

Entice is the third book in a series written by Carrie Jones. If you have not read the first two books in the Need series (Need and Captivate) this review will contain spoilers.

Entice starts right off where Captivate left off. I like when a series doesn’t rehash every detail of the previous book in an attempt to draw the reader back into the story.

As Zara and her friends try to figure out the mystery of where Vallhala is and how to get there to rescue Nick, they run int More...

Again, Carrie Jones has left us with the same ending that she did with Captivate. Only this time, we have to wait until 2012 to continue the story. But I must say, the way in which she leaves these books off really leaves you; 1: wanting to read the next installment immediately, and 2: with a very clear memory of what has happened. She opens the next book in the exact same scene. And I cannot be more grateful for that. There is no time lapse. It is indeed a direct continuation of the story. Yet More...
