Captive: Beautiful Monsters Vol. I by Jex Lane

I didn't know if I was going to like this book or not but I took a chance and decided to try it. I do have to say that the first part of this book put me in a funky mood and it took me a little bit to get out of it. This is a bit darker read than what is normal for me but I really liked this book all the same.

The characters are really well developed in my opinion and the storyline is awesome as well.

I really liked the fact that the author developed the MC throughout the whole book. I think part of why I was in a funky mood after about the first quarter of the book was because Matthew was in a funk and it put me there too as Ms. Lane does an amazing job following the psychological effects everything has on him.

Matthew doesn't have the easiest time after being turned and then abandoned by his sire, so when he finally does find someone to talk to and help him be what he is he can only hope that his life will get easier.... and at this point hope is all he has.

After learning some new information Matthew doesn't know who to trust, but eventually it becomes very clear who can actually be trusted.

This book is quite long and I suggest having a large block of time to be able to just read this book. At some points I didn't want to put it down and others I wanted to chuck my laptop across the room, but all in all I can't wait for book 2.
