My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With Lorelei being a bounty hunter and Aiden having a huge chunk of his memory missing, it was very easy to get invested in this story. I can’t think of another one I’ve read where one of the characters was a phoenix so it was nice to get a little bit of variety in a genre that is pretty repetitive at times. The fact that when Aiden is reborn he loses his past memories was a very interesting concept to me and I immediately started thinking about how one would combat such a situation and what instances you could come up against that would put that in jeopardy. It reminded me a bit of one of my favorite books where every twelve years, everyone forgets everything. They write in books but books are easily destroyed with fire so that wouldn’t really be a good option for Aiden. As I’ve said before, I love any book that really gets me thinking so I’m sure I will read this one again and again.

5 Stars!!!!!

I love finding new authors and books. This was just such a great read. I found that the plot and characters were very addicting. I was glued from the first chapter and couldn’t put the book down. I must confess that this is the case most times as I love to read but I really love shifter and paranormal books.

Aiden and Lorelei have such a chemistry that it adds to the story. I like how the authors unfold the drama around them and that the story wasn’t predictable. I like how the authors use the lore around Phoenix and that along with the drama makes for a very addictive read. I will definitely be reading more of this series and these authors in the future.

4 Stars

This was an intriguing story with an original twist to it. It is set in a time where supernaturals are kept as pets in gilded cages. Aiden manages to escape and flies away. He was kept in his phoenix form for so long that when he changes into his human form, he is confused. The Magical Creature Underground brings him in and tries to help him. Lorelei works for the Phoenix Location Agency. She was hired to find Aiden and return him to his master. She manages to enter the Magical Creature Underground’s compound and realizes that Aiden is her lost love. When a phoenix rises again, they have no memory of their former lives. Aiden doesn’t remember Lorelei. Will she finish her job and return Aiden or can they rekindle the love they once had?

Interesting alliances are formed with surprising plot twists. Captivity will pull you in from the start and keep you wondering what will happen next. This is a quick, light read filled with action, surprises and a variety of fascinating characters. It is a delightful story that I’m so happy I read.

3 ½ Stars

Captivity is the first book in the Captivity series by Molly Zenk and Sarah Biglow. It is a novella length paranormal romance and is a quick and easy read. The premise intrigued me right away, and I couldn’t wait to find out all about the interesting characters we would meet along the way.
I liked the story, but I think it suffered a little by not being longer. The story felt a bit rushed in places, and I felt like we were getting the abbreviated version, like something was missing. I had questions that I think more background information and building more backstory would have helped answer. Also, even though they were really intriguing, I had a hard time connecting with the characters, even though I really wanted to- I mean A Siren and a Phoenix, original and cool- right? But I think my lack of connection was due to not ‘getting to know them’ enough. Don’t get me wrong, this story is enjoyable, but I feel it could have been even better if it had just a little extra development.
I am intrigued by the story and want to know what happens, especially since we end on a cliffhanger- so I will definitely have to read the next book to discover how things play out.

Thank you, Ms. Zenk and Ms. Biglow!

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella is the awesome first book in the Captivity series by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk. I had not read any work by either of these authors before reading this book but I will definitely be reading more – in particular, the remainder of this series.
As this is a novella, it’s a very fast read. You feel that you are just getting into the story and starting to know the characters when the story abruptly ends, leaving you at a vital part of the story…arghhhh
I loved the main characters of Aiden and Lorelei. Lorelei is so sassy and not afraid to say what she’s thinking. The authors did a really good job of developing exciting characters. They provided detailed descriptions of how the characters looked so you could picture the scenes in your head more easily.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what the authors have in store for Aiden and Lorelei next.
If you are a fan of fantasy/paranormal then I’d definitely recommend this book for you.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk is a wonderful story .At first I wasn’t sure but the more I read the more I found myself lost in the pages and on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. Next thing I know I’d read the whole book in one setting. I was left wanting more. This is my first read by both of these author’s and definitely won’t be my last .Lorelei and Aiden,She’s a siren who is searching for the man she loves. He was abducted. She finds him when on a mission to find a escaped Phoenix. He has no memory of her or their time together. Aiden’s has a poison flowing through his veins. Will they find a cure for the poison? What does their future look like? Can they have a relationship? Find out what happens next in this must read. I look forward to reading more from both these authors.

Captivity was a really enjoyable novella, it may have been a short read but it absolutely was not short on anything at all! I was pulled into the story straight away and my interest was held from beginning to end. The two authors writing melded together seamlessly and it was like reading a book written by one author, their writing styles complemented each other perfectly. Shifter books are probably one of my favourite paranormal reads so this book was definitely going to be a hit with me. I loved Lorelei and Aiden’s story, I wanted to keep turning the pages just see how their story was going to end. Lorelei has a job to do but also she can’t help what happens when she finally sees Aiden after all these years!
This is just the start to this series and I cannot wait to read the next book and see what happens and where the authors take the storyline!

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a paranormal romance story that is original and tells the tale of shifters and another time. These magical characters were interesting and well-written and this story about love and hope, friends and fear, torture and breaking rules, but most of all it is about freedom and being who you are meant to be. The storyline flowed easily but we were left with a cliff hanger, I hate those but the story was good don’t get me wrong, I just hate cliff hangers.

Lorelei has been searching for the man that she loves who was taken from her. When she takes on her latest case, she finally knows what happened to him.

Aiden has escaped his latest captivity and has no memory of the woman who has been looking for him. They soon discover they are in the hunt for a cure to save his life but will they be too late to save not only him but her as well.

If you love something original and paranormal then grab a copy and enjoy

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Molly Zenk and Sarah Biglow is a brilliant story and a great way to start a new series.
Both of these authors were new to me so I was glad to get a chance to experience them both at once. Their writing styles really seemed to compliment each other. I didn’t feel like you could tell them apart in a seamless way.
The story was interesting too. It was exciting from the start and really caught my attention quickly. The characters were strong and easy to read about.
This book is a great way to introduce yourself to both of these authors. I would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a short exciting read. Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk are new authors to me. I find that their writing style is one of mysteries, excitement, and over all easy to read. This story is about Lorelei and Aiden. Lorelei is a siren who is looking for her long lost boyfriend. Aiden is that long lost boyfriend, but there is a catch. Aiden is a Phoenix and he cannot remember any of his former lives. Aiden has a deadly poison running through his veins and Lorelei is the one that tries to help him. Will Lorelei be able to save Aiden? Will Aiden remember Lorelei from a past life? You will have to read the story to find out.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when opening this book up. Both of these authors are new to me but boy am I ever glad I took a chance on this short book. From start to finish the action-packed pages left me feeling like I had more story than I would have anticipated I would find in such a short book. The authors did a fantastic job leaving this tale of shifters into a new house I didn’t anticipate. It opened a world wide open for a series to continue. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. Extremely well written and well done. Loved it!

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk was an exciting and fast paced novel. This is the first novel I have read by these authors and I can tell that this will be an awesome series. I loved the numerous paranormal shifters in the storyline. I felt the authors did an excellent job describing them and giving each their own creative personality. I enjoyed both Aiden and Lorelei as the main characters but I definitely favored Lorelei more. I loved her spunk and how dedicated she was to finding her lost love. She was also strong and determined. I really enjoyed this easy read. I can’t wait to read more in this series. I definitely feel it deserves the 5-stars and I highly recommend it!

This was a super quick read and my first read by both of these authors, I completely enjoyed the whole story and if I didn’t know there were more books to read after this one I would have been sincerely upset with that ending but thankfully there is more to come.

I’m just beginning to read more paranormal fantasy type reads and although I did enjoy this, it moved quite fast and I didn’t have enough time to connect completely to these characters and really get a grasp on the whole shifter pet aspect. I am truly looking forward to reading more because my interest is definitely peaked and the writing styles of these authors was amazing.

I do recommend this especially to fantasy fans and can’t wait for the next.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella by Molly Zenk & Sarah Biglow was a unique heart clutching read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read from both authors, I didn’t know what I was getting into; but I’m glad I took a chance on this short yet powerful read. It’s told from dual POV, and I like that we get both side to this tragic love story. It starts out dark, and it was that darkness that pulled me in, and as the story switches’ POV’s, as I’ve said, we get both sides of the coin, and two sides of different darknesses.

Now as this is a novella, and is only about 119 pages, this book moves fast and it does end on a very abrupt cliffhanger. But there are other books in the series, so all is not lost. Though I don’t mind if there’s cliffhangers, this one just felt off, as it was more like the story stopped, rather then ending in mystery. It’s hard to explain in words what I mean, like a song ending on a fade out, vs one just ending, I guess is a good way to put it.

Overall though, this book was unique, original and flowed with a smooth rhythm that you can’t help but get sucked into. I loved the writing style and I loved the way the two MC’s had to untangled the mess of their love. And of course the suspense and action that came with it. This book is worth your time and energy, and it gets my super high recommedantion and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

The story Captivity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a wonderful paranormal book. It pulls you in right from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. I liked the world-building that is done and also reading about the magical creatures that are introduced. I loved reading about Lorelei and Aiden. Lorelei is a siren who has been searching for the man that she loves. He was abducted. She finds him when on a mission to find an escaped phoenix. Aiden is free however has no memory of Lorelei and the time they were together. A deadly poison flows through his veins. What will the future hold for Aiden and Lorelei? Will they be able to restart their relationship? Will they get the cure for the poison? Read this book to find out what happens. I loved the characters of Lorelei and Aiden with each chapter that I read. Lorelei is a woman who has conflicted emotions and doesn’t get close to those around her. There is interesting and intriguing dialogue and the story makes me want to know more about all of the characters. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t be able to put down. I highly recommend reading it.

The shifters are kept as pets, unfortunately, Lorelei works for a company that drugs them. What will happen when the next target is her lost love? Will they find their way back to each other? I enjoyed these characters. They bring the story to life and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. I highly recommend this book.

Lorelei, a siren, has spent the last three years searching for the man she loved after he was abducted in front of her. When the bounty for an escaped phoenix crosses her desk at the Phoenix Location Agency, she expects a typical bag and tag. Instead, she discovers the target, Aiden, is none other than her lost love.

Aiden has no memory of the sultry siren who insists they were once in love. Rising from the ashes comes with a price— he’s a new person, with no memories of his former lives. After years of being kept in bird form to harvest his healing phoenix tears, Aiden is not the man Lorelei knew.

When both are taken in by the Magical Creature Underground, reconciliation seems possible. But Aiden’s captivity comes with a dire consequence: a deadly poison is working its way toward his heart. The only known cure is a long shot at best. Can Aiden and Lorelei reclaim their stolen past before the clock runs out?

The Fish That Climbed a Tree By Kevin Ansbro. This is my first read by this author and I found it to be a very interesting story. The author did a great job of writing something unique and engaging. I like the authors writing style it’s a good mix of humor and serious without feel too heavy. The characters are complex and different from other books. This book is a perfect example of don’t judge a book by the cover , mind you I don’t dislike the cover I just almost passed this one by but am trying to open my reading to things I’d normally pass. And I’m so glad I listened to my “don’t judge a book by the cover .” Talk because I definitely would have been missing out on a unique story by a new to me author. I’m giving this story a four star review and recommend it. Excited to see what the author offers readers next.

Before I stumbled across the Fish That Climbed a Tree, I was not familiar with Kevin Ansbro or his writing. I will say, after just one book it is clear this won’t be the only piece of writing I’ll read by Kevin Ansbro.
The Fish That Climbed a Tree is different than many of the books I’ve been reading lately and it was a welcomed change. This book provided humor while painting imagery that was truly thought provoking.
The Fish That Climbed a Tree was a unique story that has the feel of a literary classic. I was intrigued by the title, then the cover, then the synopsis really piqued my interest but the book exceeded all expectations. I am looking forward to read more of this author’s writing.

So this was a nice surprise. I am new to this author and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I loved it. It kept me on my toes and kept me guessing all the way through.

This is a book that makes you think while reading it and even after. It makes you analyze those thoughts and I sat and thought about it well after reading the book which to me is a sign of a great book.

This book was a turning point for me. I haven’t had a book lately that really made me think and reflect. Actually that is something that is hard to come by so I don’t want to give anything away but I will say this is a MUST READ. This book stimulates my brain and it won’t stop

The Fish That Climbed A Tree was an interesting read from start to finish. I was immediately drawn into the story with the tragic opening scene and I was unable to stop reading. The author was very creative with the main characters and supporting characters . It was also easy to visualize each character and the setting for every part of this novel. There were some gruesome scenes in this story that may not be appealing to some but I felt they helped make the storyline. I really enjoyed this book and I know others will as well.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I found it to be uniquely written. This story has a lot of emotion throughout. It is a very detail oriented story that makes you feel like you are right there in it. Henry is a loner and odd child so you wonder how his adulthood will play out, especially after the horrific event he witnessed. The author has such a wonderful imagination that makes this book different than any other I have read before. To find out about Henry’s journey this is a must read. I recommend this book.

This is the first book I have read by this author so was unsure what to expect. Also, I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone a bit recently and reading different genres so again was tentative about reading this. All I can say is that I loved it. Not quite sure exactly which genre it fits as it could fall into many. It has supernatural, religion, thriller, crime and a bit of romance too.
Although mainly centred around Henry Drummond, there are many characters with a major role in the book. Kevin Ansbro does an amazing job of creating characters that you love, hate, despise and just about every other emotion. The evil Pascal and Yuri are so well written, you get really into their heads and see what makes them the evil gits that they are. Sebastian is another story – on my god can he get his head any further up his own backside!! I loved Henry and Amber, especially the way in which Amber deals with Henry’s poshness (is that even a word?) My favourite character is Mr O’Connor, Henry’s landlord. I love just how he took Henry under his wing and became a father figure to him encouraging him in his ambition to be an author.
Honestly I could write forever about the characters in this book as they are so wonderful. I’m so glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something different.

The Fish that Climbed a Tree by Kevin Ansbriso is a story that has a little bit of everything from humour and fantasy, immortality and cruelty, murder and violence, the afterlife and coming-of-age, mystery and thrills, ghosts and a lot more. Kevin has written a story that is very imaginative and thought provoking. He leads us on a wild journey where anything is fair game and his storytelling is very vivid. There is a cast of characters that you will either love or hate which brings a different narrative and picture to the whole book.

It is one book that you will have to read to understand the simplicity in the complexity.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Fish that Climbed a Tree by Kevin Ansbro is a four star novel. Before picking this book up, I only saw the title and thought it intriguing. This novel was not at all what I was expecting from that. Not that I was disappointed because this novel has a lot of redeeming qualities. It was hard for me to follow at first that we are dealing with two different spheres of reality. My heart was breaking for Henry and the pain he would be feeling as a young child after his parents are murdered. As we follow him growing up, he seems to be doing ok but with the pitfalls of childhood that a lot of us face. Then as that story is flowing, we also see the realm of his father, Ulysses, as he is navigating through the after life. The way the author uses names and his large vocabulary to spice up his novel, the reader needs to really pay attention to be able to catch all of it. That part of the novel is brilliantly done.

I was leary at first but its such a complex book that the more I read the more I loved and I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I had finished. That’s the sign of a good book. This is the story of Reverend Drummond who is brutally murdered in his London Vicarage. Its the story of the journey of his afterlife. The Reverend’s son Henry is left to live without his father and make it thru this rough world dealing with bullies, big hearted friends and cruel killers. Henry is very sweet, kind and loves to read and write. Will Henry find love and happiness in this life or will he suffer a cruel death like was foretold. This story goes from present to afterlife and you have to pay attention to be able to grasp the full story. I loved this book and will look forward to reading more by this author!
