RENEGADE
CAPTIVE
#2
ERICA
STEVENS
GENRE:
YA/PARANORMAL ROMANCE
Though she is free of the
palace, rescued from her position as a blood slave, Aria is haunted
by the memories of her time spent within the fortress, tormented by
memories of Braith, the prince that betrayed her and shattered her
heart. Every day is a struggle to get through, and the only solace
she is able to find is with Max, her best friend, and fellow captive.
Though Max does not understand her bond to Braith, he knows some of
what she endured, and helps to ease some of the tattered pieces of
her soul. Aria slowly begins to salvage the broken parts of her
wounded spirit by throwing herself into the wonder of the woods she
had so greatly missed, and the secure and reassuring love that Max
freely gives her. Her world is thrown into a tailspin again though
when a marauding group of vampires destroy the caves she had found
temporary shelter in. Scattered about the forest, seeking to stay
hidden and find her family, Aria is stunned when Braith, the monster
that savaged her heart, reappears. Stunned by his sudden arrival in
her world, Arianna is uncertain if he has come to recapture her, or
to kill her for daring to escape.
MY
RATING: 2.5 STARS
Renegade
is the sequel to Captured.
I really liked the first book, this one not so much. It just didn't
have that special something that caught my attention with the first
book.
It
seems that Renegade faltered due to lack of detail, action, etc...
even the relationship between Braith and Aria didn't work for me in
this one. I have higher hopes for Refugee, the third book in this
four-book series.
There was some useful information revealed in this book that helps set up the next book regarding the circumstances behind Braith's mother's death. I also liked the cover art for this book better than the first.
