Contains mild spoilersMy mind is confused.  I have seen all these wonderful ratings for Willing Captive and I was so pumped when I started reading it because I knew, I just knew it was going to be great.  After I finished the last page, I was torn.  Did I think it was a great plot? Yes!  Did it rock my world from the first page to the last? No.  Oh man, is there something wrong with me?After I found out why Lily was “kidnapped”, I loved her ‘screw you attitude’ up to a certain point.  What can I say? Nox was a jerk sometimes and deserved a rant thrown his way, however it felt like every interaction between them was a fight.  These fights at first used to make his jaw tick but after a while, he craved her attitude and I guess I missed the in-between part where this annoyance changed into like.Also, there were just some other things that I couldn’t understand that made me slightly confused about the plot.  First, Nox and Lily leave the safe house because it isn’t safe and stay in a motel for three days until it is safe again; why go back?  Isn’t the place compromised at that time?  That is just one out of a few but I’m not going to list them all.But I didn’t hate it; I promise.  I thought the whole “kidnapping” was a great twist.  I loved the eye opening experience that Lily had while she created friends (yay for Boo!) for the first time in a long time and was able to be herself instead of a hermit locked in her bedroom.  I loved being able to read how torn up she was throughout the book because it made her a real person to me.  However, I can’t rate it a 5/5.
