Narration In Pursuance Of Books Captivate (Submerged Sun #1)
In a glittering underwater world, nothing is as it seems...For the past twelve months since her parents’ death, seventeen-year-old Miranda Sun has harboured a dark secret — a secret that has strained the close relationship she once shared with her older sister, Lauren. In an effort to repair this broken bond, Miranda’s grandparents whisk the siblings away on a secluded beach holiday. Except before Miranda gets a chance to confess her life-changing secret, she’s dragged underwater by a mysterious stranger while taking a midnight swim.
Awakening days later, Miranda discovers that she’s being held captive in a glittering underwater city by an arrogant young man named Marko...the King of this underwater civilisation.
Nineteen-year-old Marko intends to marry Miranda in order to keep his crown from falling into the sinister clutches of his half-brother, Damir. There’s only one problem. Miranda is desperate to return home to right things with her sister and she wants nothing to do with Marko. Trying to secure her freedom, Miranda quickly forms an alliance with Robbie — Marko’s personal guard. However, she soon discovers that even underwater, people are hiding dangerous secrets...

Checkout my full review on my blog!! http://omgbooksandmorebooks.blogspot....Everything about this book is unique. The world building, characters, and the overall plot. This book is definitely out of the box. Though I wish there was more about the underwater world, I really enjoyed Captivate. Honestly, I picked up this book because of the cover. There is a love triangle. It did bug me at some points but I looked past it. I felt so many emotions while reading this book. I was sad for Miranda, herOk so I thought it was a mermaid book at first, I was expecting thisBut it turns out that it's an underwater civilization where everybody is human and apparently none of the women there are able to have children.Then the King, Marko, and his sister Sasha (I changed her name cause Sasha sounds more like an evil name) come up with the brilliant idea of kidnapping a girl from a beach and they send Markos best friend the lead guard and he gets the wrong girl because she was suppose to be 18 years
I had hoped this was going to be a good book. I had been wanting to read it for awhile. However, this was just not that great. It really needed some kind of action.I felt bored throughout. On top of that I just didn't care too much for the main character. She spent too much time whining. It was really annoying. Needless to say I will not be reading anymore of this trilogy.
[Full disclosure: I received a free ebook copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.]You know what? I didnt expect to like Captivate as much as I did. The only reason I really took a chance on it was the fantastic cover. Sometimes, as Ive found out, you can judge a book by its cover.At first I thought this would be a mermaid book. In hindsight Im not quite sure why I thought that but it turns out that this book is more science fiction than fantasy. I dont want to give the big
A copy was provided by Harlequin Australia in exchange for an honest review.BREATHTAKING UNDERWATWER COVER!!! Should've known better, right? To be fair, it wasn't particularly bad, but it was definitely strange and cliché.The book reminded me a lot of Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge (the 'kidnapping to be made a bride for the king' part) and Renegade by J.A. Souders (the 'underwater city surrounded by dark mysteries' part). Sadly, I did not like this book as much as I liked the two aforementioned
I only just finished Captivate a short while ago and everything is still swirling around in my brain. Not sure where to start lol...Ok, well firstly the cover, well I'm sure we can all agree it's absolutely stunning! The story that lies within matches the cover to a T, which is awesome! This story was a different experience for me, from all the books I've read not alot revolve around the sea, especially an underwater city. An underwater city, could you even imagine it? ^_^Now to the story....
When I received this book for review I really wasnt sure what to expect from yet another YA mermaid book, but I was pleasantly surprised by this very well-written tale of duty, betrayal and romance.Miranda has been struggling following the death of her parents in a car crash a year ago. Her older sister, Lauren, has become distant and Miranda feels now than ever that she is living in Laurens shadow. During a moonlight swim at their grandparents summer beach house, Miranda is stolen away to a
