Synopsis: Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not quite how things have worked out.
For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla?
And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't just turned. She's Astley's queen.
Review: 4 Stars - Entice, the new book in the Need series by author Carrie Jones picks up right where we last left Zara, Nick, Astley, Issie and Devyn. The action never stops for long in this thrilling third installment. Jones’ story and characters continue to grow with each book in this fun, entertaining and adventurous series featuring Pixie’s and various otherworldly creatures. Its Jones’ writing that makes these books and the book to come a must read for anyone who loves a story about good and evil and love and hope.
Zara has lost a lot in the last two books and in this one she’s working hard to get some of those lost things back. She’s changed… in more ways than one. She has had many hard choices to make, some of her friends and family didn’t understand. She’s a character I enjoy reading about as she continues to fight for what she believes in and knows is right and now she continues to fight for her friends and family as well.
And while there are is a lot of action there are a few slower spots here and there as well, but as a fan of everything Jones, her writing and this series has to offer, it didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of this book.
All in all I more than enjoy this series. I was excited to get a chance to read it early. After reading Captivate I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next and what a thrilling ride it was with Entice. Jones has such a core group of characters and solid writing that any fan of paranormal books shouldn’t pass these by. Be sure to start with the first book in the series – Need and be ready to for more with Captivate. Enjoy!
