More About This Book

Overview

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not exactly how things have worked out. Nick is dead-supposedly taken to some mythic place for warriors called Valhalla, where Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. Bedford needs its warriors more than ever, since a group of evil pixies is devastating the place. But even if Zara and her friends can reach Valhalla, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. Will Nick even want to return with her? Especially since she's not just any pixie . . . She's Astley's queen.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Book three in the "Need" series picks up with Zara, who was formerly half-human and half-pixie, but now turned fully pixie, and a queen at that, trying to figure out how to get to Valhalla to retrieve Nick, her werewolf boyfriend. Zara enlists the help of her close friends (some of whom are shape-shifting weres and an elf) and pixie king Astley. As if figuring out how to reach Valhalla wasn't enough trouble, they also have to help protect the town, which is besieged with violent and blood-thirsty evil pixies. Teenagers are dying and going missing, but no one beyond Zara and her friends know the real reason why. Zara and Astley do their best to figure out how to save Nick, but find traps and complications at nearly every turn. A book about pixie history and magic gives them the lead they need, but it takes a few false starts before Zara is able to get to Valhalla. Here, she must defeat Frank, Astley's uncle and the pixie responsible not just for Nick's death but for the larger pixie war that is unfolding. Her reunion with Nick is fraught with worry—if he will accept her as a pixie and if she can shake the feeling that she is betraying Astley. Though Nick arrives safely home, the impending pixie war looms large, leaving Zara and friends without much time to revel in their victory. Though their quest is fairly straightforward—get to Valhalla—the interruptions and blockades keep the story interesting. Readers may find this book nearly impossible to understand without having read the first two in the series. Twilight fans will feel right at home here, in rural Maine, which feels a lot like Forks, with Zara and her love triangle. Reviewer: Amanda MacGregor
VOYA
Entice is a mythical adventure of pixies, humans, and weres. Following in the fashion of its predecessors, it has a dark, mysterious, romantic feel that makes readers feel enticed by the characters. This reader was right next to Zara as she discovered herself and searched for Nick. After finishing the book, readers will desire more; Jones outdid herself this time. While Need (Bloomsbury, 2008/VOYA December 2008) and Captivate (Bloomsbury,2010/VOYA April 2010) are good, Entice is fantastic. 4Q, 4P. Reviewer: Linda Infantino, Teen Reviewer

VOYA
Things are getting worse across the board. Bedford is under siege by a group of evil pixies led by a wicked king who killed Nick, sending him to the mythic land of Valhalla. Wanting to do all she can to help bring him back, Zara is pixie kissed by Astley and becomes his queen, causing a rift between her and her friends. No one expects it to be easy for them to reach Valhalla and get Nick back, but the journey will be far more perilous than they imagine. Each bit of information comes at an increasingly terrible price, causing Zara to question her motives and wondering how much she is truly willing to risk bringing Nick back. The third book in the Need series, Entice takes your hand and pulls you along on the dizzying journey to reach Valhalla. Zara's struggles grow even more complex with the complication of her being a pixie, as she finds herself constantly questioned by her friends. Like an experienced runner, the book takes off at a solid pace that will carry readers quickly and fluidly through the pages. Fans of the series will not be disappointed by the latest installment in this great series. Reviewer: Susan Hampe
School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up—In Carrie Jones's sequel (2010) to Need (2008) and Captivate (2010, all Bloomsbury), Zara has been kissed by Astley and turned into a pixie, which is the last thing her friends and family wanted for her. But as she sees it, it is the only way that she can go to Valhalla and rescue Nick, her one true love. One of the main problems with this plan is that she is now Astley's queen and has a deep connection to him and his people. As the story progresses, it also becomes clear that someone is trying very hard not only to stop them from rescuing Nick, but also trying to kill Zara and Astley. Although well-narrated by Julia Whelan, this book leaves listeners with more questions and loose ends. A must-buy if your library already circulates the first two titles, but not a stand-alone by any means.—Genevieve Gallagher, Charlottesville High School, VA
Kirkus Reviews

Jones picks up directly after the end of Captivate (2010), when Zara allowed Astley to kiss her and turn her into a pixie. Being a pixie, never mind Astley's pixie queen, terrifies Zara—but she did it so she can potentially travel to Valhalla and retrieve her maybe-dead boyfriend Nick. The thrust of this third installment is that quest: Find Valhalla, recover Nick. Pixie king Astley helps Zara and loves her; she begins to reciprocate even while pining for Nick at every moment. Unlike most love triangles in the genre, this one's outcome feels refreshingly unpredictable. The small Maine town establishes a curfew and the FBI arrives, but evil pixies still murder teen after teen. Epic war approaches, on earth and in the gods' realm. It's hard to say whether Zara's burning need to find Nick either trumps her earnest desire to protect innocent people from deadly pixies or blends with it—Nick's a critical leader/warrior, after all. Fans of the first two will continue to swoon, enjoying prose that's idiosyncratically casual (Valhalla feels "ungettable") and indulgently, oh-so-teen-like angsty ("Your sigh smells like sorrow"). (Paranormal romance. YA)

    Awesome Series!!!!!

    This is one of my favorite series of all time!! It does have the little love story in it yes, which i do indeed love, but it is also so much more than that. I love the story line. It's not just one of those books I read just for the love story part although this one does have a pretty good one, so good I can't make up my mind who to like, but I also find myself wondering what will happen next in the actual story. I guess you can tell that I highly recommend this book...=D.

    Still A Great Series

    I love this series and can’t believe I waited so long to read the third book! This one veers out of our normal world, well normal in that there are pixies and all, and adds in the mythology of Valhalla, yes, that means a little bit about Thor and Odin too. Zara is one of my favorite female characters in a young adult series because she doesn’t just sit around and whine, she gets off her butt and does something about the problems. While her choices sometimes put her in danger, they are still choices that she is taking responsibility for and doing for more than just herself. Actually, she’s a pretty unselfish girl. Yes, she wants Nick back because she loves him, but it’s more than that. She knows his friends all need him as well and so she is risking life and limb to get him back. Zara isn’t without her own internal conflict though. Astley is always around, she is his queen now after all, but she’s not quite sure what that means. We get to see into Astley’s character a bit more and whew, there’s some unexpected stuff in his life. I know I won’t wait so long to read the next book in the series, it can’t get here soon enough!

    This book was good, but i absolutley hated how ruthless she became! She pushed all her friends to the breaking point and still expected them to find Nick. And she had a perfect guy right in front of her... okay read, extremly frustrating.

    Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo

    With ENTICE we come to the third novel in Carrie Jones' NEED series. Zara is determined to find her boyfriend, Nick. In CAPTIVATE, Nick was taken away by a warrior to Valhalla. With the help of Astley and her friends, Zara begins her quest to find a way to Valhalla. Zara is really stuck between two decisions. She finds herself drawn to Astley throughout ENTICE, but yet she is single-mindedly determined to bring Nick back. Zara is unsure how Nick will react when she gets him back, because since his "death," she has been Pixie kissed and been turned into not just a Pixie, but Astley's Pixie queen. It doesn't get more complicated than that. Though Zara wants to solely focus on finding the path to Valhalla, Bedford is besieged by evil Pixies and Zara and her friends must defeat them to protect the town. It's all so complicated for a high school girl who just wants to be normal again after her step-father's death. There were some plot twists in ENTICE that I totally didn't anticipate. I won't give anything away, but her father makes an unexpected appearance and there's an interesting character named BiForst. The story moves quickly and will satisfy fans of the series. ENTICE reminded me a bit of P.C & Kristin Cast's BURNED. The story mostly revolves around Zara's journey. There are background stories going on, but overall, the content is the quest. I thought this was to be a trilogy, but after checking out the author's website I found that the 4th book in the series is due out in 2012. So I for one will be eagerly waiting for more of Zara's (and Nick's and Astley's) story!

    Perfect example of YA literature and why other series should not be considered in the same category.

    Well written for youth, but holding almost no real character development or depth, this series is the perfect example of what YA literature is. It also shows why a series like "Harry Potter" should not be considered YA fiction. Just because a series is about young people does not necessarily mean it reads like it was written by a young person. This book most certainly reads like an 18 year old girl wrote it. The author captures the selfishness and lack of vision in the young mind very well.
