Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer CAwg
Captivate, by Carrie Jones, is the second book in a series
that follows Zara and her friends as they fight the nasty
pixies. It turns out Zara is half pixie and she turns blue
when she's around other pixies for too long. In addition,
Zara is a pixie princess, the object of much interest from
potential pixie kings, those who would wish complete
control of the pixies. Of course, Zara must save the day
and stop the pixies from wreaking havoc in the human world.
It gets a little complicated when Zara's boyfriend mauls
Astley, a potential king, in the woods. He's one of the
more decent pixies.
Captivate was a very interesting book. For one thing, it
had pixies, not vampires, which are a little overdone. It
was well written and the characters were intriguing and
seemed real. For instance, I thought it was pretty funny
when Zara turned blue. I would definitely recommend
Captivate to those interested in young adult fantasies that
aren't about vampires. It would be advisable to read the
first book in the series, Need, in order to have a better
idea as to what exactly is going on.
