The Captive by Fiona King Foster provided me with a bigger number of questions than answers. It unquestionably had my complete attention From the primary page.

The life they have chosen might be difficult to survive. However, they welcome the freedom and isolation. At the point when Brooke goes to the closest town to get supplies.

A wanted criminal Stephen Cawley is somebody Brooke fears. At the point when he appears on her farm in “The Captive”. Brooke realizes she has only one decision.

The setting was well visualized and captured into words in “The Captive”. I loved feeling like I was making this journey as well. However, I never completely associated with Brooke. She had a ton of hidden secrets, and I understand her concern to keep it hidden. Yet, when her past attacked her present. Then also she did not reveal crucial data that would have assisted her family with understanding what the hell was going on. The vast majority of her choices appeared to cause more damage than anything else, and I just couldn’t get why.
Other than that “The Captive by Fiona King Foster” was a fast-paced read that quickly tossed me into a recognizable, yet unknown world. Finding out about Brooke’s backstory helped me to relate more with her character, and I was left interested in the story, while not so captivated with the characters.
