Product Description

**PLEASE ONLY PURCHASE 3RD EDITION COPIES**

EXCERPT:

I let out a huff and forced a smile. “You’re a vampire.” I stated.

Dean tilted his chin up and smiled. “I have no fangs.” he said through his teeth.

I examined the glistening white canines. They were normal, just like mine. “You retract them when you don’t need them.” I said.

Dean moved across the table and put his face up to mine. His mouth was a torturous breath away from my own. “Then why haven’t I sucked your blood Lina?” He whispered right before pressing his soft lips against mine. Then he inched towards my neck and lingered his lips on my pulse. His soft breathing tickled my skin and triggered a chill that shot up my spine. My blood jumped to a rush and began to throb for him. If he were a vampire, I swear I’d let him suck me. “Why aren’t I biting you right now?” He whispered. It took everything I had in me not to melt into the seat and land as a puddle on the ground.

DESCRIPTION:

After Mindy's childhood best friend, Dean Aiken, shuts her and everyone else out of his life, she learns to move on. Years pass and she gets used to the fact that he's no longer a part of her life, but things begin to change…

Mindy's new best friend, Markus Medina, witnesses Dean kill two people behind a club. Mindy has a hard time believing him, especially when he mentions that the bodies disappear. Poof! Into thin air. Markus decides he has to follow Dean around in order to get evidence that he's been killing people, so he doesn't sound like a nut to the police.

Despite Marcus’ crazy theories about the possibility of Dean not being human. And not to mention the fact that he's dangerous. Mindy can't help that she may be falling in love with him. Even after hiding their feelings for each other from the world. Dean and Mindy being together stirs up dangers that neither of them could ever imagine. When she finds out about what Dean really is and the world he tried to keep her away from...it's already too late.

BOOK CLUB REVIEWS:

"This book was well to sum it up in one word, perfect. When I first heard about Captivated, I thought "hey, this sounds good" but now that I have finished Captivated I'm like "omg omg omg, BEST THING EVER YOU MUST READ THIS"
-Haley- YA-Aholic

"I can whole heartily say that I absolutely, 100%, fell in love with this book, the characters and their world! This will be a series that will grab a hold of you and won't let go until you've reached the end & are trying to sell your first born to get a copy of the next book!"
-Jessica Hansen- Taking it One Book at a Time

"Captivated is a story full of suspense, romance and action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It pulls you in and you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from the page. With twists and turns that you won’t see coming, a backstory that will pull on your heart strings and characters that you will get emotionally attatched to, Captivated is a must read."
-Alishia Roza Ruly- Treasured Tales for Young Adults

"Idea behind the story line was unique, different, and the ending was definitely unpredictable."
-Katrina Whittaker- Page Flipperz

Mindy starts a new school year with her friend Markus by her side. She is like any other teenager though her thoughts often float towards her childhood friend, Dean. He hasn't spoken to her in years, not since his parents were killed. She can't understand how or why he has pushed her out of his life.
A new student starts school and Mindy finds herself drawn to him. There is something different about the boy, almost hypnotic. Dean hates this sudden interest and tries to keep them apart but Mindy has no idea why. Then Markus sees something totally unbelievable, impossible. He swears he sees Dean kill another man but the body turns to ashes and now he's on a mission to find out what is going on.

With trouble brewing Dean and Mindy slowly grow closer together but all it does is put her in harm's way. Now she is drawn into a dangerous game that could get everyone she cares about killed.
The writing was okay and the dialogue seemed genuine enough but the short sentences did nothing to enhance the flow or add to the tension. What first stopped me really caring for the Mindy was the attack with Ayden. Her reaction was unbelievable enough but the reaction of Markus was just wrong.

All the way through this all I could do was compare it to the Twilight series and unless it is a damn good book that is not a good thing. I couldn't get Jacob out of my mind when reading about Dean, though there was some cross over with Edward. The bare chest, the motorcycle and tattoo. They even felt a jolt of electricity when they touch and had a special place where they met and could be themselves. Sound familiar? And as in Breaking Dawn the POV changed with the change of chapters from Mindy to Dean and back again. In the end when the cliff hanger came I have to say I just didn't care.
I don't like to write reviews like this and as a debut novel, I have read worse but felt that it didn't have enough to recommend it. Sorry and as always its only my opinion.

WOW!!
I was not expecting that! And to those who say it is like twilight.....are you actually reading twilight instead of this book??? They are not similar in the slightest! And the ending OMG did not see that coming. Mindy is a great character and Dean ( i am crushing on him) is most definitely the hero. But i also love how Markus is beginning to get his own in this story. It is not just focusing on Dean and Mindy all the way through. As the story goes, it starts to spread and uses others to make it so great to read that you honestly dont know what is going to happen. And i dont like predicting books. whats the point of reading it if after 2 chapters you know what's going to happen.

I cannot wait for the second and this is going on my list as my most favourite vampire book so far.

Then those magical eyes start to look away. The time-freeze you were caught in starts to wear off. And fear takes over. You want to pull those eyes to yours again so that you could once again feel the fascinating sensations of happiness. Then, when shes out of your sight, you feel empty inside. Your heart is back to normal. Only this time, its left with an aching worse than before. But you can never tell her. You can never be with her. You are alone in your pitiful existence- &quote;
