Captive by Anna Santos

4.0

I enjoyed reading this story! It's an interesting world that Anna Santos has created here. It's different than anything I've read before. Aria is very excited to go to Paris but things go very differently than planned once she gets there. She is rejected by her vampire soul-mate and then has to escape afterwards. She is then rescued by Cedric, prince of the gargoyles and angels. They both get a second chance as Cedric and Aria become soul-mates because she was rejected. Aria had no idea about the paranormal world before all this went down so she has a hard time accepting everything. Especially the way that she was introduced. There are a lot of obstacles that Cedric and Aria have in trying to get to know each other and fall in love within their time frame. Things are complicated again, when Aria's first soul-mate decides he made a mistake. There is a lot going on in this story and the book is longer because of it. Things get fleshed out enough for you to have some guesses and to intrigue you into wanting to figure out the rest. Things book doesn't end on a cliff hanger but things are not fully resolved. There is a lot of kissing and some foreplay but no sex in this story. There is some action in this story but a lot more intrigue and twists and turns. I was drawn in and can't wait to see how Cedric and Aria's story ends up.
