Kitty Doe has been forced into a life she didn't ask for
but
she's willing to join The Blackcoat Rebellion.
However, she wants to be trusted by her supposed allies as
part of the charade she's forced to play. Kitty Doe was
kidnapped and surgically altered to resemble Lila Hart,
the
niece of the Prime Minister (see Pawn for more details).
Now, instead of a life relegated to a lowly III cleaning
the
sewers, Kitty is hobnobbing with the elite as a VII. What
sacrifices will Kitty continue to make as she realizes the
society she lives in is even darker than she imagined?
Will
Kitty lose her beloved Benjy as the conspiracies around
her
deepen further?
CAPTIVE picks up right where the first book, Pawn, left
off.
It's not necessary to read the first book in The
Blackcoat Rebellion series in order to enjoy CAPTIVE
as
Aimée Carter provides the reader with a general overview
of
the story. However, I can't imagine why anyone would miss
out on a single moment of this stunningly good dystopian
series!
I can't rave enough about Aimée Carter's world building!
CAPTIVE held me captive from the very first page. CAPTIVE
is
darker than the first book as we begin to delve into the
hidden aspects of Aimée Carter's world. We fully explore
the
horror of Elsewhere, a sort of dumping ground for the
unwanted residents of the world. We saw a taste of it in
Pawn, but Elsewhere is much worse than I ever imagined.
CAPTIVE contains one particular scene that encapsulates
the
horrors of Elsewhere and what the desperate bid to survive
can cost others as Aimée Carter does a marvelous job at
showing how power and the desire to move up in the world
can
corrupt at any level.
CAPTIVE is a dark, disturbing, but oh-so-compelling entry
into the dystopian young adult genre. Aimée Carter has
some
twistedly clever surprises in store for the reader in
CAPTIVE and I can't wait to see how she concludes The
Blackcoat Rebellion series! CAPTIVE is one of the best
dystopian young adult books I've read this year, and
perhaps
ever. I highly recommend CAPTIVE and The Blackcoat
Rebellion series!
For the past two months, Kitty Doe's life has been a
lie.
Forced to impersonate the Prime Minister's niece, her
frustration grows as her trust in her fake fiancé cracks,
her real boyfriend is forbidden and the Blackcoats keep
her
in the dark more than ever.
But in the midst
of
discovering that her role in the Hart family may not be as
coincidental as she thought, she's accused of treason and
is
forced to face her greatest fear: Elsewhere. A prison
where
no one can escape.
As one shocking revelation
leads to the next, Kitty learns the hard way that she can
trust no one, not even the people she thought were on her
side. With her back against the wall, Kitty wants to
believe
she'll do whatever it takes to support the rebellion she
believes in—but is she prepared to pay the ultimate price?
