I loved this novel and the chance to revisit some characters I thoroughly enjoyed meeting in previous books in the series and learning more about Jack.This book picks up about a year after book four left off with Jack traveling throughout the country to make sure that his brother's laws are being enforced.  He is using this excuse as a means of escaping his grief and it isn't until he arrives in an isolated town that he finds purpose and a reason to move beyond the grief he felt after his father-figure and mentor dies.  He meets Hannah and feels an almost immediate connection to her.  She is reserved around him, however, as she and many other vampires living in the town are considered defective in one way or another.  They keep to themselves and don't trust that Jack, and the king's laws, will protect them from further persecution.  However, they are being ruled by a tyrant that controls the town and, when Jack steps in to help, others, including Hannah, begin to trust him.There is plenty of action and romance in this book with characters that the reader can relate to.  Stevens also writes with enough humor to temper the darker sides of the plot.  I wouldn't mind seeing a book 6 in The Captive Series.
