Length: 5 hrs and 49 mins
Release date: 08-08-19
Ethan Fletcher’s a rising
star in the modeling industry, and after landing an ad on a billboard, things
were looking up for him. From the outside looking in, he was living his best
possible life. No one knows the struggles Ethan faced, or that every night he
removed the carefully constructed mask he had to slip on just to face the
outside world. However, the camera wasn’t the only thing in love with Ethan’s
face.
When the gifts started to
arrive, they seemed innocent enough. But, the attention from the fan who called
himself the Suitor had Ethan on edge, and when someone important in Ethan’s
life goes missing, he knows it’s no coincidence. Receiving no help from the
local police, Ethan seeks comfort from a very unlikely source. Together, they
find themselves in a race against time to catch the Suitor before Ethan becomes
his next victim.
Captivated is book one in
the Out of Darkness series. It talks about stalking, kidnapping, murder, and
mental illness. Captivated ends with a happy for now and is a continuing
series. This audiobook is an extremely slow burn with a romance that progresses
throughout the series.

I admit I had heard a lot
about this and was so excited to listen.
The suitor is creepy as
hell. I loved how the author calls him
the suitor instead of giving us a name.
I also loved how he was a main character and we got his POV too. the
story is well written and suspenseful.
Ethan has his own issue as
he hates crowds and getting out in public. The suitor sending him gifts makes
it worse. He finally lets X a model he has worked with in the past close since
he needs food and would like more puzzles, but the disappearance of his agent
has him out of work and money.
I loved the slow
development between X and Ethan and that in this book it is mostly friends
only.
I can't wait to see what
the next book brings.
Kenneth Obi gave the
suitor just enough creepiness but also made him seem like a real person as
well. I love how he adds excitement and
character to a story, and I think he really adds something to this book so if
you can get the audio, do!
There are emotional
triggers: obsession, stalking, abductions, beating, murder. But this is mostly
off-page and handled well but if these things bother you this isn’t for you it
is a very dark story)
