What is it about?

(Blurb from GoodReads)

No one believes I was at the wrong place at the wrong time…

Grant it, I kind of get it. I have been found around an abnormally large amount of dead people lately. The thing is, I’m not the dangerous murderer they think I am. If I could tell the truth about my not-so-human father, they’d understand.

But I can’t.

Because his kind shouldn’t be able to breed with humans, and because, well, it’d be an instant death sentence if they found out. So while the prison leaders know I’m not entirely human, they haven’t figured what I am… yet.

Now, I just need to clear my name before someone discovers my secret. If only the four sexy inmates who’ve taken an interest in me understood that I’m not “playing hard to get.”

I’m trying to save my life.

Note:

WRAITH CAPTIVE is a prison paranormal reverse harem romance. It’s steamy, humorous, and with just the right amount of an edge. So come join an amazing group of authors in Nightmare Penitentiary, a place you’ll never want to escape from.

Thoughts on Wraith Captive

What is going on in that prison??

If you’ve followed Nightmare Penitentiary so far, then you are well acquainted with the Warden, along with the nuances of this sprawling place. Into that saga comes a new set of characters, each a supernatural of dubious design.

It showcases the prison a bit more, the lax, though brutal, guards, and the seemingly ambiguous undercurrent that flows through the entire inner connected universe. It’s strange.

This book, unlike a couple of the others, is not stand alone (which is odd, since the subtitle says STANDALONE), as these characters will go on to finish their story (or so it appears? It ends on a cliffhanger), which is great – because things are far from settled, or even really started, for this quartet.

Pros:

I like her spirit.
The warden shows up again.
I like the characters individually, not sure about together though.

Cons:

Emotional build is blah
Takes place over maybe 2 days?
Brina….. someone in one of these books needs to kill this bitch…. Seriously.

Perspective

My Final Verdict on Wraith Captive

Fast paced and dangerous, this installment brings old lovers together again while dancing around new relationships and bonds just starting to form. Add in diabolical events, blood and plenty of death – and you have a mixed cake of dark entertainment. Free on Kindle Unlimited.
