About this listen
Ethan Fletcher’s a rising star in the modeling industry, and after landing an ad on a billboard, things were looking up for him. From the outside looking in, he was living his best possible life. No one knows the struggles Ethan faced, or that every night he removed the carefully constructed mask he had to slip on just to face the outside world. However, the camera wasn’t the only thing in love with Ethan’s face.
When the gifts started to arrive, they seemed innocent enough. But, the attention from the fan who called himself the Suitor had Ethan on edge, and when someone important in Ethan’s life goes missing, he knows it’s no coincidence. Receiving no help from the local police, Ethan seeks comfort from a very unlikely source. Together, they find themselves in a race against time to catch the Suitor before Ethan becomes his next victim.
Captivated is book one in the Out of Darkness series. It talks about stalking, kidnapping, murder, and mental illness. Captivated ends with a happy for now and is a continuing series. This audiobook is an extremely slow burn with a romance that progresses throughout the series.
©2019 Brittany Cournoyer (P)2019 Brittany CournoyerWhen we first meet Ethan, we soon find out that he suffers from severe anxiety, but only his best friend who is also his agent, knows this about him. He also has no family, so he seems to find ways to cope by himself, with his agents help.
Ethan seems to be ok with everything, until a modelling contract he participated in, then has his image on billboards all across town, and it is here that someone sees it, and decides that Ethan looks like someone special.
Now Ethan is beginning to receive anonymous gifts to his home address, and this scares him, so much that he gets his agent over to collect the gifts. Even wondering how the person, who calls himself The Suitor managed to find out his home address.
Now things seem to get worse for Ethan, as not long after it seems like his manager has disappeared, but he has nobody he can call - or does he? He then finds someone he can call, but will he show his true self to this person?
I really enjoyed listening to this audio, and I can't wait to see what happens next in this series. This is one story that kept me hooked from the first, and I think what I really liked was that you were getting both Ethan's and The Suitors point of view with each chapter.
Brilliant start to the series

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.
PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good
it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A
3* - it's more then a one-time-listening, but not more then twice a year.
it's like a B
as good as the ebook

Kenneth Obi does creepy extremely well, amongst his many other talents. He switches effortless between the Suitor (stalker) and Ethan bringing their characters out so well. If it wasn’t for his narration I’m not sure I would’ve continued with the book because it’s not my thing but I’m so glad I did.
Wonderfully creepy
