Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the complete Trilogy in one book. This book includes:
Captive Bride:
This is a dark psychological thriller. It might hold some triggers for some. In this book we meet Ember. She is a girl that lives in Hallelujah Junction with her father Papa Rich and a man named Scarecrow lives up the mountain from them. Those are the only two people that Ember ever sees!! She is allowed to travel tunnels and go to the old school house but their home with electricity is hidden behind the schoolhouse and no one can see it. This place is an old mining town and everyone that once lived there left in a hurry, even leaving their belongings behind and no one knows why. But there is a legend about the ghost in the schoolhouse and it is quiet possible that Ember is the ghost people are thinking their seeing. However, no one is allowed to be there in that town and her father, Papa Rich is the ranger assigned to keep people out. What they do not know is that if they get off the wrong trails and there is a price to be paid and Ember usually witnesses them getting taken care of. It is a job that Papa Rich takes very seriously and he also protects Ember and keeps her hidden away. This girl has never been in the outside world that she can remember. She has only ever known Papa Rich and where she lives now. One fateful day though there is a very handsome guy with a huge camera that has wondered where he isn’t suppose to be to take photos for Rolling Stone of the ghost town and he is trying to catch the ghost of the old schoolhouse. However Papa Rich catches him trespassing and the next thing Christopher knows is he wakes up chained to the wall in the cellar of the house that Ember and Papa Rich live in. He has decided that at twenty five Ember needs to get married and Christopher is the one she is to marry. Its a messed up twisted way to meet your husband. I have to stop right there for I don’t want to give anything away but I fell in love with these character’s and this story is twisted and just crazy!! I loved every second of it though and I couldn’t wait to get to the next book to see what happened. If you love dark captive books then you are going to love this one.
Kept Bride:
This one picks up right where Captive Bride left off too and I so could not lay it down. Ember and Christopher have escaped from their life in Hallelujah Junction and are headed back to his home in New York with his mother. And can I just say that I can not stand Louisa Davenport!!! Oh my gosh, she might be Christopher’s mother but she is really one high and mighty socialite piece of work!!! Christopher knows that this is going to be hard for Ember as all she has ever known has burnt to the ground and they just found out that Papa Rich might just have survived the fire they saw him running into. However Christopher is determined to not let Ember ever thank about that man again and he refuses to give him any of his worry either. He knows that she is going to have major adjustments to get use to being in New York and not stuck in a house alone never seeing anyone but Scarecrow. Now they are being hounded by the police and reporters and Christopher is going to keep them all a bay and stay married to Ember. But his mother is not a fan of Ember and she sure does everything in her power not to make her feel welcome. This is where you see how strong the love is between Christopher and Ember, you see how protective they are of each other. But strange things are happening and Ember just might be losing her mind or someone might just be helping her to fall over the edge. While this one is not quiet as dark as Captive Bride it is so good and the ending just about had me falling off the edge of my seat!!! To say I need Taken Bride in my hands right now is a understatement. I can’t wait to see how things play out. You guys are going to love this series!!!
Taken Bride:
This is the conclusion we have all been waiting on. I was so happy to be back with Ember and Christian. I don’t really want to tell you anything about the story that will spoil it for you. I read this book in no time and I feel like if I say much of anything I am going to ruin it for someone. I was holding my breath for a little bit but then I realized that Christopher has this and everything will be ok. You just need to grab this book and dive in. I promise it is the conclusion you have been wanting and needing.
