~ 2.5 Trapped Stars ~

Trapped is a quick short read set in The Blood Rose series by [a:Caris Roane|3500801|Caris Roane|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1306189763p2/3500801.jpg]. Probably best to read The Blood Rose Tales only if you have read the rest of the series first. You only get a taste of the world and you may have some questions otherwise.

Alesia and Zephyr know each other and had a previous relationship, so the relationship did not have to be built from the begging which helped since the book was so short. I got frustrated with Alesia ’s view point on the wraith’s and her inability to see what Zephyr goes through as a warrior protecting the realm. They both did some growing in their view points and found a true compromise in the end.

Trapped is part of the Dark and Deadly box set. It’s a quick short read with some action, hot romance and a fascinating world. Recommend reading The Blood Rose series first.

This is proving to be an interesting and unique series that takes the vampire genre and turns it on its head. The story line is different and as it is a short story a very fast and easy read. The story makes it feel that it is longer than it actually is with all the detail and action that is in it. It will also having readers wanting to read the next book in the series which luckily is already out.
