Kristine's Review:
Reviewed: April 2015.Penny Reid.... No words... Capture was an experience to behold. Reid's ability to draw every single emotion from me, she has this knack of pulling me in so subtly that I don't know where her story ends and my emotional response to it begins. Reading Reid's words, emerging myself in her world is effortless, sheer, unadulterated beauty leaks from the page, ensnaring even the most weary of readers, Capture didn't just draw me in, it captivated me, it held me prisoner, setting fire to my heart and my soul. I couldn't put it down, I couldn't think about anything other than Kaitlyn and Martin, I was engrossed in the story as it continued to unfold, I felt every raw and painful emotion with Kaitlyn, I felt her innately as she questioned how long she could grieve for her ended relationship, I felt her sense of coasting through life always doing what was expected of her as she played the role of straight A student, of dutiful daughter, without ever really knowing her own true place in the world.
Martin is just as charismatic as before, still the world weary young man he always was, quick to anger, and untrusting of those around him, but he's also grown, he's matured, he's realised continuing on the same destructive revenge filled path will only lead to pain and emotional ruin. In some ways he was forced to grow in order to change a desolate future.
I don't want to give away anything from this story, from this series as a whole, experiencing the world Reid creates is one of the great joys of reading, and for me, Capture not only hit the mark, it exceeded it. The author never fails to isolate and draw out all the feels in her work, leaving you at times a little raw, a lot happy and so very grateful for the journey.
