Aestas Book Blog’s review of Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #1) > Likes and Comments

I just got these today, dying to try them. They have an average 4.8 star rating on amazon. Unbelievable

Good luck and enjoy the book. Be prepared for the rollercoaster ride. It's super dark and intense. BOOK 2I feel is evn MORE instense but damn it was gutwrenching at times.

I can't wait!! I've been patiently waiting for the second one to be out and for people to start raving about it before I start and now they are and so... SQUEEE!!!! Im in the mood for an intense book so I'm seriously excited. It's all loaded on my kindle and I'm about to start!!

I waited for book 2 as well. I hate cliff hanger endings and I know I'll have to read these back to back. I don't mind a dark book every now and then.

Same here. It's not my norm, but sometimes, it's exactly what I want to read. I've cleared my reading schedule so I can read them back to back too. Cliffhangers just kill me, I'm not strong enough to wait between books lol

Me too. That's why I never started because I heard it had a bad cliff hanger. Now I just wait til the next books are out if I hear that. I'm like you Aestas, like my HEA's and no patience.

LOL!! I actually have been saving that series too! I've been grilling everyone about whether it has a HEA. I won't start it till I get one :p

I love the series, but book 4 almost KILLED me waiting for this one. I figured I've already waited now I'm not letting her do it to me again. LOL

I'll let you know when it's safe for you to start Chigagoland:)

YES!!! I love you for that!! Thank you =))

This is probably one of the BEST reviews I have read for this book. Everything you said is almost exactly my thoughts abou this story. This book hits practically every single emotions a human being can feel. What a fantastic review. If you think this was a mindfck wait until you get to the sequel. You are going to need a fluffy book right after it because it will fuddle your mind and thoughts. And there is one particular scene that I had to put the book down because I got so upset. I appaud this author.
Great job again!

Thank you Jessica!! :D

I'll be reading the sequel right after my ARC of Love Unrehearsed. I can't wait!!

and yes, I have a KA book lined up to read right after!

thanks Lisa!!

Love the review Aestas!!

I'm starting today. I have tears rolling down my face laughing at your status updates. I can't wait.

I like your Caleb, it's very close to how I imagined him, the hair maybe lighter, but the eyes are exactly what I thought they would be, there's a slight exotic look there...

Thanks everyone!!

Enjoy PA! Ive definitely read nothing quite like it!

Ellelou: in the color version, he actually has pretty golden hair and his eyes are a crazy cool blue. I posted a link to that version of his pic on the review on my blog if you want to see :-)

Great Review!! This book was amazing!

will do

OMG his eyes! As per his hair, in my mind was lighter, don't know why.
But his eyes and his chin give him an exotic look somehow...
He is very close to how I imagine Caleb...

I cant see your image....BUMMER....I wanted to see if "your" Caleb is "my" Caleb!!!

Great review! Just wait until you read Seduced in the Dark! It will blow your mind! My Caleb is and will always be Paul Walker!

I don't think I'll read the book, but is there anywhere where I can find all the spoilers?? I'm intrigued....

well, add that to the short list of must reads!

Thanks everyone *glows* :-)

Definitely bump this waaaay up the list if you haven't read it. It's one of THOSE books - amazing plot, great writing, wonderful deep characters and an unforgettabe story.

Great review!!! but for some reason I can't see the image of your Caleb :(

For those of you who can't see the casting image for Caleb, you can go to my blog and at the bottom of the page is a link to the color version of his picture. The version I have here is black and white, but at least it's the same image so you can see it if you want :-)

Fabulous review Aestas, excellent. I have had this book for a while and keep meaning to pick it up and read it. Your review makes me want to pick it up NOW. Your love of this book is so evident it jumps out at you:)

Wow...words can express so many emotions:) excellent review!

Sensational review Aestas! I love seeing all of your emotions right out there for all to see, because they were exactly the same as mine when I was reading. I'm super impressed that you managed to put them all into words. Can't wait to see you read the sequel ;)

BTW I'm thinking that first picture is pretty perfect!

Thanks guys :D You guys are way too kind <3

And I'm so glad you like the pics :-)

Great review!

I didn't read your review but I did run out and get last night. I can't wait for it to come in. Looks really good and disturbing.

Thanks guys :-)

Yea, it's really good. But definitely disturbing. But overall, I loved them! Definitely a fav series :)

I really can't wait to read this book. I think I need something like this. I have been reading light and funny books for months, so I think this will be a good change.

Lol haha its definitely not light and fluffy :p
I love having books like this to break up the 'fluff' too :)

Well it's high on my list. Hopefully I can get to it soon :)

:-)

Just finished the book... so I finally read your review!!!! YOUR REVIEW WAS AMAZING!!! I love the way you're able to pull it all together in these phenomenal books!! So many incredible quotes... I loved the book just as much as you did!!! Love your pics of Caleb and Livvie too!! Thanks for taking the time to put out these fantastic reviews.

Aw thank you so much Karen!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! I'm guessing you are gonna go right on to book 2 then? lol

Yes... starting it now!!! :)

By the way.... that guy you chose for Caleb in the photo... is just GORGEOUS!!!

SQUEEEE!!! :D
and I'm glad you like him... I've had that pic at the back of my mind for a looooong time waiting for the perfect role to cast him in :)

I have to keep going back and staring at him. He is just perfect for the broody Caleb...exotic looking!!
