Captive by Jex Lane is an intriguing, dark and violent story, filled with all sorts of beautiful monsters that lurk in the shadows. Lane has created a unique and interesting world where vampires and incubi are ancient enemies, each unafraid to use those of the other race as a means to an end in the everlasting war between them. The characters are compelling and beautifully-developed. The battles are intense and brutal. The sex is steamy and plentiful. This was a captivating start to a new series with the beginnings of a vast mystery to be unfolded, which made me immediately dive into book two. If paranormal romance is your thing, then you should give this a try.

Warning: This is very graphic and intended for mature audiences. There’s a lot of sex…A LOT. And torture. And humiliation. And a master/slave dynamic. We are talkin’ vampires and incubi here…
