“Captive in the Dark” is C.J. Roberts’s debut novel. Her work has been said to be sexy as well as disturbing. The novel is the first instalment to a whole series called the “Dark Duet”

Caleb has a mission in life: revenge. To fulfil that revenge he has to train a sexual slave. He has done it before quite few times since Rafiq, as a kid, took him in. The difference is that he has to kidnap an American girl.

Olivia is taken by the attractive Caleb. She doesn’t know what is going to happen to her, neither the reason why she was taken.

“Captive in the Dark” was one of the dullest books I have ever read. The parts told by Olivia were kind of captivating. On the contrary, when Caleb point of view was shown the story seemed really distant. My personal belief is that the Stockholm syndrome is quite an interesting subject, even if it isn’t the most original theme.

As I said before, I found “Caleb chapters” impersonal, which made me unable to connect with him. In addition to this I couldn’t actually feel like the development that the characters suffer. What I mean is that the characters really develop, however it seemed quite unrealistic. And last I felt like most of the times, the book was just written to arrive to the sex scenes.

Overall, “Captive in the dark” wasn’t a good book. I had to push myself to read it, and finally finishing it. Moreover, I don’t really recommend it.

Half Year Wrap Up and July TBR

Hello everyone, as I said on my update and favorites post I’m sorry I’ve been absent lately. Because of that, I’m not going to do a monthly wrap up, but a middle of the year wrap up. I can’t believe we have already hit the middle of the year, but here we are and I’m four books behind in my goodreads challenge, which is more or less like a month. It isn’t much considering how little time I have had to read, as well as many other things, and considering there were two months in which I didn’t finished one book. We start with January, the best month reading wise I’ve had in years, I completed a total of 8 books in addition to a novella and a graphic novel. Not only that, I also highly enjoyed most books I read during that month “Captivated by You” by Sylvia Day. The last book published in the Crossfire series, really liked it, and I can’t wait for the next book which I think might be the last. (4/5) “Conociendo a Raul” by Blue Jeans. The novella I read, prequel to “El...
