Erica Stevens - Author

I just got done re-reading Erica Stevens "Captured" Series. I love this series. You know when you start reading the first one "Captive" it reminds me of that movie, that I believe is called "Day Walkers"... you know the one with Ethan Hawk, and vampires rule the world, and humans are hunted for their blood! Well, the book Captive reminds me of that in the beginning, but as it progresses turns into something else completely.

Its set in the future, where Vampires have come out of the woodworks and take control. They don't want to live in the shadows anymore, they pretty much want the humans to live in them instead, the shadows that is. So the humans that don't want to be treated as food retreat into the forrest, and fight for survival. The humans "rebels" that are captured are taken into the vampire city and auctioned off, as food, to be blood slaves, or bled dry to feed the masses. So as you can tell, if I've written this in a non-confusing way, a human is captured and a vampire purchases her.

I loved this series, I can't wait for the fourth and final one to come out, I believe in July

Here is the synopsis for Captured:

Captured, taken from her beloved family and woods, Aria's biggest fear is not the imminent death facing her, but that she will be chosen as a blood slave for a member of the ruling vampire race. No matter what becomes of her though, Aria knows that she must keep her identity hidden from the monsters imprisoning her. She has already been branded a member of the rebellion, but the vampires do not know the true depth of her involvement with it, and they must never know.

Though hoping for death, Aria's world is turned upside down when a vampire named Braith steps forward to claim her. He delays her execution, but Aria knows it's only a matter of time before he drains her, and destroys her. Especially once she learns his true identity as a prince within the royal family; the same royal family that started the war that ultimately brought down humankind, reducing them to nothing more than servants and slaves.

Aria is determined to hate the prince, determined not to give into him in anyway, but his strange kindness, and surprising gentleness astonish her. Torn between her loyalties to the rebellion, and her growing love for her greatest enemy, Aria struggles to decide between everything she has ever known, and a love she never dreamed of finding.
