Captivity
Finding freedom may be the last thing they do.
Siren Lorelei is no stranger to challenging cases. But when the bounty for an escaped phoenix crosses her desk at the Phoenix Location Agency, she's shocked to find the escapee is her kidnapped boyfriend.
Aiden has a target on his back, but no memory of Lorelei. He's desparate to claim his new identity, but he's running out of time. A deadly poison is making its way to his heart. Locating the cure is an impossible feat, but he has no other choice.
Will Lorelei condemn the man she once loved to captivity and claim the hefty bounty, or will her own humanity get the better of her?

A Phoenix and a siren join forces as they try to save the Phoenix's life. I loved the mix of creatures in this book. Great fun to read. I would recommend it.

Cute and an interesting idea!
While the novella would have made a good prequel to a series or trilogy, it was too short to be the 1st book in a trilogy.
It needed more everything- more character background, more world building, more plot. Interactions between the characters could have been more in-depth.
I’ve not read the other two books, and looking at the page counts of the other two novellas, I doubt I will.
I hope in the future, the authors decide to combine the novellas and flesh it out into a single, stand-alone novel. They have a great idea, it just needs more.

Captivity is a short paranormal romance novella only 119 pages. It’s the first book in the series by Molly Zenk and Sarah Biglow.
This is a book about shifters. It's told from dual POV, contains some adult and m/m content.
I loved the writing style, not the cliffhanger ending and I wish it was longer.

Captivity is the first book in the Captivity series by Molly Zenk and Sarah Biglow. It is a novella length paranormal romance and is a quick and easy read. The premise intrigued me right away, and I couldn’t wait to find out all about the interesting characters we would meet along the way.
I liked the story, but I think it suffered a little by not being longer. The story felt a bit rushed in places, and I felt like we were getting the abbreviated version, like something was missing. I had questions that I think more background information and building more backstory would have helped answer. Also, even though they were really intriguing, I had a hard time connecting with the characters, even though I really wanted to- I mean A Siren and a Phoenix, original and cool- right? But I think my lack of connection was due to not ‘getting to know them’ enough. Don’t get me wrong, this story is enjoyable, but I feel it could have been even better if it had just a little extra development.
I am intrigued by the story and want to know what happens, especially since we end on a cliffhanger- so I will definitely have to read the next book to discover how things play out.
Thank you, Ms. Zenk and Ms. Biglow!

Captivity (Captivity Book 1) By Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk
5 Stars!!!!!
I love finding new authors and books. This was just such a great read. I found that the plot and characters were very addicting. I was glued from the first chapter and couldn't put the book down. I must confess that this is the case most times as I love to read but I really love shifter and paranormal books.
Aiden and Lorelei have such a chemistry that it adds to the story. I like how the authors unfold the drama around them and that the story wasn't predictable. I like how the authors use the lore around Phoenix and that along with the drama makes for a very addictive read. I will definitely be reading more of this series and these authors in the future.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Molly Zenk & Sarah Biglow was a unique heart clutching read, that had me hooked from start to finish.
My first read from both authors, I didn't know what I was getting into; but I'm glad I took a chance on this short yet powerful read. It's told from dual POV, and I like that we get both side to this tragic love story. It starts out dark, and it was that darkness that pulled me in, and as the story switches' POV's, as I've said, we get both sides of the coin, and two sides of different darknesses.
Now as this is a novella, and is only about 119 pages, this book moves fast and it does end on a very abrupt cliffhanger. But there are other books in the series, so all is not lost. Though I don't mind if there's cliffhangers, this one just felt off, as it was more like the story stopped, rather then ending in mystery. It's hard to explain in words what I mean, like a song ending on a fade out, vs one just ending, I guess is a good way to put it.
Overall though, this book was unique, original and flowed with a smooth rhythm that you can't help but get sucked into. I loved the writing style and I loved the way the two MC's had to untangled the mess of their love. And of course the suspense and action that came with it. This book is worth your time and energy, and it gets my super high recommedantion and my stamp of approval.
Happy Reading

I give Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Molly Zenk & Sarah Biglow, 4 stars.
Aiden is a phoenix that has been held in captivity in bird form for so long that he can barely remember his human side. When he finally gets the chance to flee, he does. He runs into people that say they will help and protect him. And then there's Lorelei.
Lorelei fell in love with a phoenix 3 years ago before he was taken from her. Since then, she has taken a job as a hunter, hoping to find him again. When she comes across a job that sounds like him, she jumps at it. She finally catches up with him, but he has no memory of her whatsoever. What is she to do now? The people Aiden is with do not trust her, all except the one who has feelings for Lorelei. Is she just chasing a dream with Aiden, or should she continue? Does she go back to her job or give it up to help these who are fighting for the right cause?
I enjoyed this book. It is not very long, but there is quite bit going on. There is romance as well as action. The story is unique to me, as well as the world the author has created. I cannot wait to read more in future books. The characters are interesting too. Each one other them is unique and multifaceted. Some of the secondary characters peeked my interest and I would love to learn more about them too in the future.
If you enjoy paranormal romance that features multiple types of creatures, this book is for you.

amazing shifters series! siren and phoenix meet💙
Wow! This was amazing! Great way to start this series! In an apocalypse world where shifters and humans live... is not hard to tell who is at the bottom of the food chain! 😱Humans keep shifters as pets! especially when they have agencies who capture them, drug them and keep them sedated enough to stay in animal forms as long as they want 😥. Meet Lorelei , a siren shifter who works for this organization. Sadly it pays the bills. Her next target is a phoenix who escaped his cage...but once she meets him, nothing goes as planned! sparks fly and maybe there will be two fugitives instead of one! must read!!! ❤️

5 out of 5 stars
The story Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a wonderful paranormal book. It pulls you in right from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. I liked the world-building that is done and also reading about the magical creatures that are introduced. I loved reading about Lorelei and Aiden. Lorelei is a siren who has been searching for the man that she loves. He was abducted. She finds him when on a mission to find an escaped phoenix. Aiden is free however has no memory of Lorelei and the time they were together. A deadly poison flows through his veins. What will the future hold for Aiden and Lorelei? Will they be able to restart their relationship? Will they get the cure for the poison? Read this book to find out what happens. I loved the characters of Lorelei and Aiden with each chapter that I read. Lorelei is a woman who has conflicted emotions and doesn’t get close to those around her. There is interesting and intriguing dialogue and the story makes me want to know more about all of the characters. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t be able to put down. I highly recommend reading it.

5 out of 5 stars
Captivity is the first book in the captivity series written by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk and it’s the first book that I have read by these authors. This is a Paranormal Romance with a twist where shifters are captive in the future and what will they risk to break free?
This is a story about lost love and new beginnings Lorelei, a siren, and she has spent the last three years searching for the man she loved after he was abducted in front of her. After he was abducted she went back to work for the PLA (Phoenix Location Agency) in hopes she would find her lost love. She takes a bounty for an escaped phoenix thinking it would be a quick job but she soon finds out it’s her lost love.
Aiden has no memory of the sultry siren who insists they were once in love. Rising from the ashes comes with a price— he’s a new person, with no memories of his former lives. After years of being kept in bird form to harvest his healing phoenix tears, Aiden is not the man Lorelei knew
When they both are taken in by the Magical Creature Underground, does reconciliation seems possible? Can Aiden and Lorelei reclaim their stolen past before the clock runs out? But there is a big twist and a big cliff hanger.
I highly recommend this book…

Captivity by Sarah Bigelow and Molly Zenk is a tale about people who trap and keep shifters in captivity in their shifted form. This tale focuses on Aiden a captured phoenix who escapes his captivity and Lorelei the siren sent to recapture him. This was a wonderful novella but it felt unfinished because it ends with a cliffhanger. I really loved the story until it ended abruptly without a final resolution or happy ending. So because I felt like it was incomplete I am only giving it 3 out of five stars. Captivity is a good but incomplete tale.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk
4 Stars
This was an intriguing story with an original twist to it. It is set in a time where supernaturals are kept as pets in gilded cages. Aiden manages to escape and flies away. He was kept in his phoenix form for so long that when he changes into his human form, he is confused. The Magical Creature Underground brings him in and tries to help him. Lorelei works for the Phoenix Location Agency. She was hired to find Aiden and return him to his master. She manages to enter the Magical Creature Underground’s compound and realizes that Aiden is her lost love. When a phoenix rises again, they have no memory of their former lives. Aiden doesn’t remember Lorelei. Will she finish her job and return Aiden or can they rekindle the love they once had?
Interesting alliances are formed with surprising plot twists. Captivity will pull you in from the start and keep you wondering what will happen next. This is a quick, light read filled with action, surprises and a variety of fascinating characters. It is a delightful story that I’m so happy I read.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a paranormal romance story that is original and tells the tale of shifters and another time. These magical characters were interesting and well-written and this story about love and hope, friends and fear, torture and breaking rules, but most of all it is about freedom and being who you are meant to be. The storyline flowed easily but we were left with a cliff hanger, I hate those but the story was good don’t get me wrong, I just hate cliff hangers.
Lorelei has been searching for the man that she loves who was taken from her. When she takes on her latest case, she finally knows what happened to him.
Aiden has escaped his latest captivity and has no memory of the woman who has been looking for him. They soon discover they are in the hunt for a cure to save his life but will they be too late to save not only him but her as well.
If you love something original and paranormal then grab a copy and enjoy

Captivity was a really enjoyable novella, it may have been a short read but it absolutely was not short on anything at all! I was pulled into the story straight away and my interest was held from beginning to end. The two authors writing melded together seamlessly and it was like reading a book written by one author, their writing styles complemented each other perfectly. Shifter books are probably one of my favourite paranormal reads so this book was definitely going to be a hit with me. I loved Lorelei and Aiden’s story, I wanted to keep turning the pages just see how their story was going to end. Lorelei has a job to do but also she can’t help what happens when she finally sees Aiden after all these years!
This is just the start to this series and I cannot wait to read the next book and see what happens and where the authors take the storyline!

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella is the awesome first book in the Captivity series by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk. I had not read any work by either of these authors before reading this book but I will definitely be reading more – in particular, the remainder of this series.
As this is a novella, it’s a very fast read. You feel that you are just getting into the story and starting to know the characters when the story abruptly ends, leaving you at a vital part of the story…arghhhh
I loved the main characters of Aiden and Lorelei. Lorelei is so sassy and not afraid to say what she’s thinking. The authors did a really good job of developing exciting characters. They provided detailed descriptions of how the characters looked so you could picture the scenes in your head more easily.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what the authors have in store for Aiden and Lorelei next.
If you are a fan of fantasy/paranormal then I’d definitely recommend this book for you.

Captivity is a brilliant fantasy read that held me captive until the very end. Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk are new authors but after reading this I cant wait to read more by them, and what else they bring this series!
This was a quick read, but a read that was packed full of fantasy, action, adventure and suspense. It is a fast-paced read that leaves you wanting more with the anticipation of a terrific cliffhanger ending! Even though this read was quick it did flow and I loved that we get the characters POV’s throughout as it gives us a better understanding of them and their journey. These authors writing styles definitely draw you into this read and hooks you until you have completed it in one sitting, but with it comes a waiting game to find out what more is to come!
I’m so glad I got to experience this book, and I can’t wait to see where the rest will take us, but until then, don't miss this read!

New authors for me and I thought this book a was a good start for the series. This is a paranormal romance that was original and it kept me interested page after page. I thought the main characters were great and I felt for them when they were in trying situations. Aiden is a Phoenix shifter that has been held captive for a LONG TIME.. He’s finally got the chance to escape and runs as fast as he can to get away from his captives. Lorelei has been working undercover searching for Aiden and has been looking for him for years. When she finally catches up with him, he doesn’t recognize her as someone from his past and she has no clue how to proceed. Does she stay and help the people who have been helping him after he escaped or does she return to a job she isn’t sure about?
I am looking forward to reading more of this series because this one did end in a cliffhanger and I have so many questions I want to get answered! I would recommend this to a friend that like PNR!
Happy Reading!

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk
4 Stars
This was a super quick read and my first read by both of these authors, I completely enjoyed the whole story and if I didn't know there were more books to read after this one I would have been sincerely upset with that ending but thankfully there is more to come.
I'm just beginning to read more paranormal fantasy type reads and although I did enjoy this, it moved quite fast and I didn't have enough time to connect completely to these characters and really get a grasp on the whole shifter pet aspect. I am truly looking forward to reading more because my interest is definitely peaked and the writing styles of these authors was amazing.
I do recommend this especially to fantasy fans and can't wait for the next.

5-Stars
Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk was an exciting and fast paced novel. This is the first novel I have read by these authors and I can tell that this will be an awesome series. I loved the numerous paranormal shifters in the storyline. I felt the authors did an excellent job describing them and giving each their own creative personality. I enjoyed both Aiden and Lorelei as the main characters but I definitely favored Lorelei more. I loved her spunk and how dedicated she was to finding her lost love. She was also strong and determined. I really enjoyed this easy read. I can’t wait to read more in this series. I definitely feel it deserves the 5-stars and I highly recommend it!

With Lorelei being a bounty hunter and Aiden having a huge chunk of his memory missing, it was very easy to get invested in this story. I can't think of another one I've read where one of the characters was a phoenix so it was nice to get a little bit of variety in a genre that is pretty repetitive at times. The fact that when Aiden is reborn he loses his past memories was a very interesting concept to me and I immediately started thinking about how one would combat such a situation and what instances you could come up against that would put that in jeopardy. It reminded me a bit of one of my favorite books where every twelve years, everyone forgets everything. They write in books but books are easily destroyed with fire so that wouldn't really be a good option for Aiden. As I've said before, I love any book that really gets me thinking so I'm sure I will read this one again and again.

This is supposed to be the first of a new trilogy. Really though it is the first third of a book.
It was enjoyable enough but rather confusing. We have two peoples the humans (one assumes
as it is never spelled out) and the others, those who can shift forms, that the humans like to collect. We get rescues, captures, plans, and old and new loves. What we never get it much background or sense of urgency even as one of the characters is dying. I looked into the rest of this series and for the price of even the two other books that I would have to buy I don’t think I will bother.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a short exciting read. Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk are new authors to me. I find that their writing style is one of mysteries, excitement, and over all easy to read. This story is about Lorelei and Aiden. Lorelei is a siren who is looking for her long lost boyfriend. Aiden is that long lost boyfriend, but there is a catch. Aiden is a Phoenix and he cannot remember any of his former lives. Aiden has a deadly poison running through his veins and Lorelei is the one that tries to help him. Will Lorelei be able to save Aiden? Will Aiden remember Lorelei from a past life? You will have to read the story to find out.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Molly Zenk and Sarah Biglow is a brilliant story and a great way to start a new series.
Both of these authors were new to me so I was glad to get a chance to experience them both at once. Their writing styles really seemed to compliment each other. I didn’t feel like you could tell them apart in a seamless way.
The story was interesting too. It was exciting from the start and really caught my attention quickly. The characters were strong and easy to read about.
This book is a great way to introduce yourself to both of these authors. I would definitely recommend giving it a go.

I tried a new author because the book blurb grabbed my attention. I really like shifters and I like the new spin on this story of shifters, different because they are owned as a priceless pet. Lots of interesting characters that I hope have their stories told in more detail later in the series.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when opening this book up. Both of these authors are new to me but boy am I ever glad I took a chance on this short book. From start to finish the action-packed pages left me feeling like I had more story than I would have anticipated I would find in such a short book. The authors did a fantastic job leaving this tale of shifters into a new house I didn’t anticipate. It opened a world wide open for a series to continue. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. Extremely well written and well done. Loved it!

Captivity: Captivity Book 1 by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a short paranormal novella. I was not sure exactly what to expect when I picked this up but I was not disappointed. This is a fast read and left me wanting more. The end is a bit abrupt but hopefully all will be answered in the next book in the series. I liked the characters and the world building. Also, the story was unique and was not a cookie cutter story. I was left at times wondering where everything was going. I will be looking forward to the next story in the series and reading more from these authors in the future.

I enjoyed this shifter romance. The characters were interesting and well-written. There are many kinds of shifters in this story of rescue, despair, love, and hope. The descriptions in this book bring you into the story as you can see everything with the characters. The storyline was great and flowed easily to the end which, unfortunately, was a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the next one!

New authors for me and I enjoyed this. It is a creative story that brings a world of shifters and humans together. The shifters are kept as pets, unfortunately, Lorelei works for a company that drugs them. What will happen when the next target is her lost love? Will they find their way back to each other? I enjoyed these characters. They bring the story to life and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. I highly recommend this book.
