The Captive #1-6
The Captive Series Bundle
Book 1, Captured.
Blood Slave.
Captured, taken from her beloved family and woods, Aria’s biggest fear is not the imminent death facing her, but that she will be chosen as a blood slave for a member of the ruling vampire race. No matter what becomes of her though, Aria knows that she must keep her identity hidden from the monsters imprisoning her. That all changes when Braith claims her as his.
Book 2, Renegade.
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. Stunned by Braith's sudden arrival in her world, Arianna is uncertain if he has come to recapture her, or to kill her for daring to escape.
Book 3, Refugee.
Horror stories abound about The Barrens. Aria is fearful of entering into the land she’s heard nothing but cautionary tales about, but she’s determined to help Braith locate vampires that may help them with their cause. The more immersed they become in The Barrens, the more she realizes that it won’t be the war, or even the king that will eventually tear her and Braith apart.
It will be her.
Book 4, Salvation.
Imprisoned by Caleb and at the mercy of the king, Aria is determined not to let them break her.
Tormented by the loss of Aria, Braith is forced to choose between his need to rescue her, and the impending rebel war he’s been chosen to lead. A war that all of them will fight but not all of them will survive.
Book 5, Redemption.
Growing up in the small town of Chippman, Hannah had long ago accepted the fact that she would never leave it. When Jack walks into her life, and turns it upside down, she quickly realizes that not everything is what she’d believed it to be.

Great Box Set
Every book in this box set is absolutely fabulous. So very well written with adventure and excitement. The characters have been develop so very well that the stories will keep you on the edge. I didn't care for the cliffhanger endings but I guess the author felt it was necessary to keep you wanting more.

Wow, just Wow! I have read, and loved, all of the Vampire Awakening books by Brenda K. Davies, Erica's other pen name. This was my first go at an Erica Stevens book and I was definitely NOT disappointed.
Captured:
This is an amazing tale of bravery and perseverance in the face of utter hopelessness. It's a tale of surprising love between mortal enemies. A love that creeps up so slowly neither of them notice until it's already wrapped it's tendrils around their hearts and souls, drowning them in it's intensity. Aria is a 17 year old girl brought up to believe that all Vampires are monsters who are nothing but cruel, abusive and violent to all humans. Then, she's claimed as a blood slave by none other than the Prince. Braith is a Vampire, a Prince of the Royal Family. His father, the King, is the worst example of the brutality his kind is known for. Aria and Braith's characters are so in depth and complex that there was never a moment when I was not hanging on to the edge of my seat wondering what would happen between them next. I am disappointed, and intrigued at the same time, by the ending. I won't say much just that while I understand the need for the story to end this way it doesn't mean I have to like it. I am jumping right into the next book, Renegade. I'll be back with an update when I'm finished with it. Amazing job so far, Erica!!!!!!!
Renegade:
This series is still amazing, and I'm still in love with it. The way this story began and the first meeting between Aria and Braith was so tense and the stress so palpable that I felt like I was standing there watching in real life instead of reading about it. Their story still continues to grip me. It still pulls me in but, now there is so much more than just their love story to hold my interest. There is conflict, war, betrayal, love, enemies finding common ground, new alliances being made, old ones coming to light. Plans now have to be made of how they all move forward from everything that is revealed. The bond aspect between Aria and Braith and Melinda and Ashby remind of Brenda K. Davies Vampire Awakening series. However, the story is fresh, intriguing and so in depth and detailed that you never have a chance to get bored. Well done as always, Erica. Off to read the next book, Refugee. Be back with more another update when I'm finished.

I own all the books and OMG everyone needs to grab this bundle. GREAT price and hours of brilliant reading.
I LOVE Erica Stevens vampires. They are more human like and you get close to them. Aria and Braith are the love story we have all waited for.
There are so many emotions running through this series. For Broken, I am telling you to make sure you have plenty of tissues with you. You will need them.
I don't know what else to tell you except BUY this bundle now. The weekend is coming and this will keep you company. Grab a beer, wine or tea and begin. And, as always, YOU ARE WELCOME!!!
