Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 King's Captive is one epic, delicious mind fuck of a book. I started it after finishing another book at 11 p.m. and read it in one glorious sitting (Bad Decisions Book Club, y'all) and when I was done I needed a cigarette. And I don't smoke. 
 So first of all, this book is total crazysauce but the best kind of crazysauce. I was totally invested in what was happening. I gave up many precious hours of sleep for this book, and I love sleep almost as much as I love chips. 
 It's hard to discuss this book without revealing anything, and I really think that it needs to unravel organically to really get the delightful buzz I got from reading it. I will say this: part of the fantasy of the book is that it's a captivity story. The Captive Heroine has been a staple of romance from way back when, and generally speaking, it's problematic. King's Captive turns that narrative on its head and allows readers to enter that fantasy without feeling icky or exploited on behalf of the heroine. 
 Also the sex scenes are hot as hell. Like wake your husband up in the middle of the night hot. 
 The way everything wraps up in the end is stretched my credulity a bit, but I was so invested in the wild ride up until that point, I didn't really care. If you like darker romance or like me love a good psychological thriller, King's Captive is so much your catnip. If you prefer your hero to be squeaky clean, then maybe steer clear.
