Need (Need, #1) by Carrie Jones
Need by Carrie Jones

Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal.

Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.

With suspense, romance, and paranormal themes, this exciting breakout novel has all the elements to keep teens rapidly turning the pages.

Captivate (Need, #2) by Carrie Jones
Captivate by Carrie Jones

Zara and her friends knew they hadn't solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.

A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his.

Entice (Need, #3) by Carrie Jones
Entice by Carrie Jones

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not quite how things have worked out.

For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla?

And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't just turned. She's Astley's queen.

That's the way I like to read books, I'm not big on ebooks. And I bought Captivate, but haven't read it yet.


Debbie The Book Vixen (goodreadscomdebbiethebookvixen) Awesome bought Need yesterday Looking forward to reading it in one of my March book Challenges. It's always good to hear from others what they really think.

I really liked the first one, and am over halfway through the second one now, which I'm also liking

***SPOILER***
I can't believe that Nick died!!!!! I cried it was so sad :'(
But I have to say that I really like the new pixie guy eventhough he is a pixie.

I don't know if I think that one is better than the other, i like them both. I really like how they aren't overly complicated. For me the books that catch my eye are the ones that are simple and have good contrast.

Basma (basmakaid) | 11 comments I like the Twilight series too but the movies just ruined it to me, you know what i mean?

Heather B (heatherbenson) | 1345 comments Mod
I 100% know what you mean. I almost wish they hadn't made the movies or at least done a lot better job with them.


Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) I like this series, and i'm looking forward to reading Entice after the way Captivate ended.
*sigh* Nick....

Heather B (heatherbenson) | 1345 comments Mod
Me too.
But I do kind of really like the new pixie guy even though I know I shouldn't :p


Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) I like him also and it's getting to me cos i love Nick so much. If he wasn't in the picture i think i'd totally be going for the pixie dude.

Heather B (heatherbenson) | 1345 comments Mod
Truth be told, I was getting a little board with Nicka nd I think that's part of the reason I like the new guy so much.


Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) No! *gasp* Nick is such a cutie! Hes' so, so....Nick!

I know but I get bored easily lol


*Mrs. Brightside* Same here(: I was happy when the pixie dude came, because I was starting to get bored /:

Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) I regretfully admit that Nick was getting a tad boring (and i say tad, meaning an ittie bittie bit) and i like Mr. Cute Pixie, but i'm still Team Nick.....for now *sobs*

Heather B (heatherbenson) | 1345 comments Mod
I can't decide what team I am anymore.


Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) Lol, that happens to me somethings. This and the Strange Angels series are hell on my nerves....


message 28: by Heather B, Your Moderator (new)

Heather B (heatherbenson) | 1345 comments Mod
I haven't read that other series.


Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) I really like it. The love triangle is nerve wracking cos i don't know who's side i'm on most of the time, and the last book ended on a cliffhanger.

Heather B (heatherbenson) | 1345 comments Mod
They always do lol


Rachel (The Rest Is Still Unwritten) (rachybee) True. It's an annoying thing though
