Wonderful mind twisting erotic romance.

Lydia wakes to find that she's chained down and blind. The only reference point she has becomes a man's voice and hands. She learns that they are required to perform in order to live. As long as the audience remains entertained, she will be allowed to live.

This story is dark. There are warnings on it for a reason. If you are not prepared for this book, do NOT read it. There is horror and torture. There is also romance and many scenes are very erotic, even if, on some, your mind screams that they shouldn't be.

I loved this book. It is not my normal type of read but I could not put it down. The story has many layers and twists. Some of them are very obvious and some hidden until you stop and think about it. This is not a story to read for escape. It requires you to use your mind, and quickly involves your emotions.

This book is definitely on my pile to be read again and again. Of course, I'm also waiting for the next book in the series!

I have mixed feelings about this book, some of the character development is there, some just isn't. The premise was different certainly from sparkly 'I can walk in the sunlight' vampires. (Not that sdparkly vampires are bad...) but the story revolves mainly around sex, a great dfeal of it non-consensual, which may be difficult for some readers. And although I do enjoy reading erotica some of the scenes portrayed extremely sadistic acts agaainst the female lead. So, if you like a little vampire action spicing upy your S&M, it might be worth your reading.

Finding Love and Light in the Darkest of Places

When I first heard of an author named Bianca Sommerland she was suggested to me by another author who knew that I liked the work of Cherise Sinclair and Carolyn Faulkner, and she (the author who made the suggest) was very up front with me and told me that Bianca Sommerland’s, writing style was not the conventional cookie cutter style of writing and that her books were something I should checkout, because she knew I could and would appreciate it, now that being said I’ve had plenty of hits and misses when it comes to people suggesting books to me, so I went into it with an open mind not expecting or dismissing anything, and the first book I read of Ms. Sommerland’s was her short story “The Trip” which I read in a few hours and fell in love with, I immediately went looking for more and I came across Deadly Captive, and to be honest when I told some people that I wanted to read this book I got mixed opinions , some said I should and others said I shouldn’t. However, me being a person who doesn’t bend to conventional opinion or wisdom said “the hell with it” and purchased it, because anytime someone tells me what I shouldn’t do, I’m always compelled to do the opposite, and in this case I did not regret it.
I will not try and sugar coat it and say that “Dark Captive” is not a dark tale, but that’s a small part of it and in spite or because of its setting and circumstances it’s also a story of hope, love and redemption. Lydia and Joe find themselves at the mercy of the “original” sadist Cyrus who captures unsuspecting humans and uses them for sport, sexual amusement and dinner whichever tickles his fancy at the moment. And although he is the villain to be sure Cyrus intrigues you and sucking you into his sadistic and at times deadly games. In the beginning Lydia and Joe are Cyrus’s captives, his playthings to manipulate as he sees fit, but as the story progresses the captors become something more separately and together. Lydia and Joe become reborn in the process of trying to survive in this deadly game that they have become unwilling players, instead of succumbing to the inevitable the go through what can only be termed as a baptism of fire, two strangers who find that in order to not endure and survive their own personal version of hell, they have to learn to trust and depend on one another, that their very lives depend on one another.
Yes, I can’t say it any planner than this, Dark Captive is an unconventional love story and not for the faint hearted, and that’s what makes it unique, it mirrors what love truly is at its most basic. Love is in fact scary, messy, uncertain, powerful, all-consuming and yes dark. I always think that if actual love was all hearts and flowers, than who would write the sad love songs, poetry and stories that express its pungent and lingering effects on those of us who are both fortunate and sometimes unfortunate to experience it. If, you can tell by now I love this story and all the emotions that it takes you through. Bianca Sommerland, is an author that has the ability to make her characters linger in your mind longer after the story is over and that is a rare gift.
