this is the 5th book in The Captive series, and i would recommend that you read those first, HOWEVER, this is written as a stand alone, follow on, and it is not really necessary. i just think it would help!Jack, Braith's younger brother, is still with the Rebels, although now they are visiting the outlaying towns and villages to ensure that Braith's laws are being followed, with the abolution of blood slaves. some are not taking the new laws so well. Hannah is an inn keeper in such a town, but this town is putting on a front, with a leader who SAYS he is abiding by the new laws but isnt wuite. Calvin has his sights set on Hannah, ut Jack's reaction to Hannah makes him bring his plan fast forward and everyone lives are at stake. Also the town is keeping a secret, one that Hannah fears could force Jack away, and leave her in Calvin's sadistic hands.i will be honest, i didnt write reviews for the other 4 books, but rated them all 4 stars, and i did think i might struggle to remember the story, but I didnt! Its laid out with enough information to bring it all forward, and then some, but not in a retelling sort of way, its all very well written, so you get Jack's story, with Braith and Aria popping in for some time too!i loved the interaction between Hannah and Jack in the beginning, well ll through, but especially in the beginning as they both have no clue whats going on between them, and once Jack bites Hannah, there is no way either can fight it. Jack's discovery of Hannah's secret (so not saying!) is a good one, and Hannah's reaction to Jack's reaction, or lack thereof, made me smile.i starred this 4, but i'm upgrading to 5. its all wrapped up in this single book, and thats why. but i would love to see what William, Aria's twin brother gets up to now he....well, again....so not saying!
