LILY: Captive to the Dark (Special Edition #1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 93 ratings

Lily. She was my gift. A reward for all the years of hard work I'd suffered through. Her fear excited me. Her fight...seduced me. From the beginning, I wanted to keep her. I knew there was no other woman for me. When she was taken, I vowed to get her back. There was nothing that would stop me.Nothing, but my father.The deal he had with the Governor stripped me of all entitlements over my slave. She was returned, and me, I was stuck back in the life I'd hated for so long.Until...she became a murderer. Her actions broke the deal and erased any agreement to keep me away. And I haven't been far. Even though years have gone by, I've refused to give up. Her guards are relaxing. She's all but forgotten her past. Forgotten ME. The time has come to remind her of who she really is. Of WHO she belongs to.LILY is over 120k+ words!!! (Super novel length) It can be read as a STANDALONE, but to connect with the characters, it's best to read them all. (SLADE, BLAKE, GAIGE).*****Alaska Angelini has one of the most original voices as an author of dark erotica, the way she crafts each scene makes you feel like you’ve been thrust into the middle of the fray. Every emotion felt by the characters is your emotion to feel; their pain is your pain, their joy is your joy. Lily Captive to the Dark, Special Edition 1 wraps itself around your throat and painfully squeezes until you don’t think you can take one more moment before you’ll expire and just when your lungs fill back up with sweet oxygen, the floor falls out from under you and you’re thrust headlong into the darkness. Five stars doesn’t even touch how good this book is — Lily and Zain deserve so much more. ----A certified Mommy’s a Book Whore must read now: FIVE plus star storyline with FIVE drenched panties … the only way they won’t be drenched is if they catch fire. *****Alaska Angelini has one of the most original voices as an author of dark erotica, the way she crafts each scene makes you feel like you’ve been thrust into the middle of the fray.

Lily was his gift, his light... then she was ripped away from him. Nothing will stop him from getting her back. His devotion to her is unequalled. From the very first sentence, my attention was caught and Alaska Angelini's words held me enthralled until the very last line. Lily and Zain's story is a must read. Their tale will haunt you, and leaving you begging for more.----Nadia (ARC Reviewer) 5 STARSWARNING: This book contains VERY graphic violence, disturbing situations, dubious consent, and very strong language.

    If you are a fan of the past three " Captive to the Dark" series, this is a must read. You first were introduced to Lily who is Slade's sister that was kidnapped in the previous book "Slade: Captive to the Dark", but that book didn't go into too much detail in what happened to Lily while she was kidnapped. With this book you find out and what happens after she is rescued. The author also brings not only Slade back into the picture, but also Blake and Gaige. A new character is Zain and his and Lily's relationship is the force that drives the book. There is only so much of the sweet rainbow romance novels I can take and Alaska Angelini's books have enough darkness and conflict to interest me. I like strong woman characters and even though her female characters are submissive to their men, they are all strong characters and they ultimately hold the power in the relationships with their men.

    This book returned to Lily, the woman captured in book 1, Slade. We get to see all the characters from previous books and we finally get Lily’s full story.

    Lily and Zain are two incredibly broken individuals that fell in love under more than unusual circumstances. Even though Lily had been given to Zain, doesn’t mean that Zain was part of the evil trafficking empire.

    This book had so many twists and turns. I am glad that everyone got what they deserved. A fitting end to an deeply disturbing dark series. This series isn’t for everyone but if you like dark, I recommend it.

    Review for Lily: Captive to the Dark, Special Edition 1 by Alaska Angelini

    I’ve been waiting what feels like years for this book. When I first caught wind of what Alaska had planned to do with this one I was instantly intrigued, I honestly had no idea how she could pull it off. As the storyline unfolded and the hours passed by as I read, threatening the lives of any and all that dared interrupt me (Sorry, family, sort of…) pieces kept clicking into place and I realized she did it. She managed to get all of our Captive to the Dark ‘heroes’ in one place, at one time, and they didn’t try to kill each other —- much.

    For all of the series fans, you are going to remember why you love to hate to love Slade, Blake, and Gaige. Plus, you’ll get a whole new understanding of the love to hate, hate to love dynamic wrapped up in one larger than life Zain. The readers who haven’t read the original Captive to the Dark series you will easily follow along with the storyline … a slight warning, you might love to hate some of the boys a little more than the rest of us without having read their books first.

    This review is going to be so hard to write without spoilers. The storyline is such a complex and intricately woven web that the slightest detail could derail the whole experience.

    We met Lily in Slade’s book … in fact, you could say that Slade had a story to tell because of Lily.

    I have to derail for a minute here… I love epilogues. Like I would love to marry epilogues and have little epilogue babies. Getting that glimpse into what happens next for the characters I just spent countless minutes living for just DOES it for me as a book whore. There is nothing more satisfying than reading that last little touch.

    This special edition version of Captive to the Dark is like the very best kind of epilogue to every one of the original Captive books. I don’t even have words.

    Back to Lily. So we met Lily because she’s Slade’s little sister and she was kidnapped. Long and the short of it is that Slade did what it took to get his sister back. This book shows us her side of the time she was held captive and her journey back into normal life … and beyond.

    Zain. FML.

    “I may be your Master in this new life of yours, but I’ll become your
    everything before it’s over with.”

    I knew from the teasers that he was going to be intense, but I didn’t expect the level of devotion he held for Lily. What he did, what he went through, all in order to protect what was his? Lord have mercy. Talk about every book whore’s wet dream of a book boyfriend.

    “You have no idea what I feel when I see you give yourself to me like this.
    Why would I want to risk losing your submission, slave?”

    It didn’t matter how tender his words or how harsh his touch was, it was unmistakable how much he loved his slave. His Lily. I had several moments while reading that I wanted to scream at Slade that Zain was PERFECT and to cut the guy some slack.

    “I treasure what we share and there’s nothing that could get me to ruin that.”

    Let’s talk some smut now… some dark, twisty, light you on fire from the inside smut. I’m fairly certain that Zain’s tastes for the dark run darkest of all the captive men… I could be wrong, but there were some moments when I was questioning what was wrong with me that I thought it was so freaking hot. I’m not going to give spoilers, but be forewarned if you don’t like your smut with a huge helping of dark, you might want to walk away.

    I reached up, gripping the length of chain that would come to hold
    me captive to his darkness.

    Alaska Angelini has one of the most original voices as an author of dark erotica, the way she crafts each scene makes you feel like you’ve been thrust into the middle of the fray. Every emotion felt by the characters is your emotion to feel; their pain is your pain, their joy is your joy. Lily Captive to the Dark, Special Edition 1 wraps itself around your throat and painfully squeezes until you don’t think you can take one more moment before you’ll expire and just when your lungs fill back up with sweet oxygen, the floor falls out from under you and you’re thrust headlong into the darkness. Five stars doesn’t even touch how good this book is — Lily and Zain deserve so much more.

    A certified Mommy’s a Book Whore must read now: FIVE plus star storyline with FIVE drenched panties … the only way they won’t be drenched is if they catch fire.

    Review by the Head Whore… please note that while this book was read prior to release every sentiment in this review is 100% honest.

    Lily's story was the best of this series. We not only meet Zain, the master she was gifted to in Afganistan, but we get Slade, Blake and Gaige all together at once.

    Zain was kidnapped from his mother and stepfather when he was eight years old. His real father Amir, a human trafficker and evil man involved in drugs and guns, beat and trained him to be a killer. When Lily was kidnapped, she was given to Zain as a gift. He protected and loved her while she was there and she also fell in love with him. When Lily was returned in Slade's book, we had no idea it was against her will. In this book we learn more about she and Zain and how they wanted to stay together. Zain has spent the last three years finalizing his plan. He's gradually killing his family members to make it possible for him to get Lily back and live in peace. He's close, but something happens, and Lily is once again taken. Shot and in the hospital, he has no choice but to tell Slade the truth. With the help of Blake and Gaige, they plan to get her back.

    This story had a whole lot more action than the previous ones. It's spread throughout and will keep you on a roller coaster of emotions trying to keep everyone safe. You'll fall in love with Zain. You'll immediately see the love he has for Lily and know he had nothing to do with her kidnapping. He risked his life to save her and went against his family to keep her safe. Zain was as much of a captive and she was. Together they make a whole and feel safe in each other's arms.

    I loved seeing everyone together from the previous books and watching them work together. We get glimpses of the other leading ladies, Mary more so than the others. These were some darker stories, but I enjoyed each one.
