Fae Captive by Sarah K.L. Wilson
5.0
Fae Captive is book two in Sarah K.L. Wilson’s Tangled Fae series and true to form this author does a fantastic job of picking up where the first book left off and moving forward. The shoe is now on the other foot. Scouvrel struck a bargain with Allie and in the process outmaneuvered her gaining his freedom and trapping her instead. Now she is his prisoner and his to do with as he pleases. Allie is about to get a firsthand lesson of the dangers of Faewald and the fae that call it home.
Fae Captive hooked me in from the beginning, and while I felt that it was a bit slower than Fae Hunter it still kept me thoroughly engaged in the story as Allie discovers things in this world and the dangers that are soon to come for those she loves. While she managed to find useful tools in the human/mortal realm because she was not warned of the consequences of their use she is finding herself constantly in the blind. She’s found her sister and she’s found her father, but at the same time, she has lost her sister as she struggles to fight for her father. Scouvrel is a truly fascinating character and I can’t help but be drawn to him…and trapped in due course. He has his own agenda, but the author does a beautiful job of keeping that under wraps throughout the story. Scouvrel is a true manipulator and you never see it coming until you are already snared and then it is spelled out for you.
The twists in this story are so well done that you don’t even see them coming and I absolutely love it. I couldn’t get enough of it. The author has Allie adapting and gradually learning. I know that there were moments of where I felt annoyed or put out by a situation, but the author is such an expert writer that I can’t even recall the parts that cause me even the mildest amount of annoyance. LOL!
With that, I will say this…if you read the first book in this series and were immediately captivated then I highly recommend that you grab this book and start reading. While this book does have it slower spots it’s a worthwhile book to read and I am eagerly anticipating the next book in this series. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars and I highly recommend it to those who have read the first book in this new series and/or those who are fans of Sarah K.L. Wilson’s immersive writing.
