She’s the only thing that excites me.
She’s forbidden, but that won’t stop me from making her mine.
Gabriella
I’ve trained all my life for this moment.
My ascension—to gain my wings and … from making her mine.

I’ve trained all my life for this moment.
My ascension—to gain my wings and join the Celestial Royals.

He thinks this is all a game. My life. My purity. My purpose.
I have to escape him or everyone I love will die. For if I don’t ascend, the world will fall into chaos, and sin will reign on earth.
Knowing the Fae King, that was his plan all along.

Xander and Gabriella have a connection her is trying to get her to realize on her own. She us to Ascend to wed an archangel. Her eyes are opened during her time with Xander, and decisions must be made before it’s too late. I thoroughly enjoyed this acyion-packed, angsty book.
What happens when you learn your entire life has been a carefully cultivated lie? Follow the story as one innocent, sheltered woman learns a devastating truth and possibly discovers a new world. The choice is ultimately hers… Will she choose the right path? Angels and far take center stage in this fascinating tale, but are not what you’ve come to believe all your life. A page turning read filled with suspense, prophecy and so much more!
The idea of angels versus Fae. The sacrifice of a Pure human who can wash away the sin of the angels…… this was a story of truly original ideas for me.
The characters are well fleshed. The plot was superb. The ending was….. enticing and maddening with leaving me begging for more.
The bounce between Gabriella and Xander helped you see things from both sides in a way that truly enhanced the story. I can’t wait to enjoy book two
I’m usually not a big fan of paranormal romance. So even though it started slow and it’s not my typical genre I just couldn’t put it down. I’m assuming I liked it so much because of the unusual conflict between Fae and angels. I thoroughly enjoyed learning just who the angels really are behind the veil and that Gabriella finally was revealed the truth. I can’t wait to see where the next book takes her Xander and the rest of the world they live.
This is a good story that is very original for me. It is a very different perspective type of world. I really loved and enjoyed it. I loved the Fae and Angel angle and will be looking forward to more. This story left me in awe.
I received as ARC an I am leaving this Totally Honest Review because I choose to and I feel that it is a good book!!!
I knew it was going to be good, but this was even better!!! War between good and not so good has never been so confusing, lol. I am rooting for the “bad” guy here!! Can´t wait to read more on this series!!!
Captivating! I really enjoyed the story up until the end. It hooked me from the start. I loved the twists and unique concept of the story.
Love this new start to a series. Thorn has give us a new world to love with both Angels and Fae. Very original!
Not really an uncommon theme in the world of PNR, we have a female character who was raised under very strict, very protected rules. She’s generally naive outside of the small world she knows, which has raised her to be the Pure, the next bride of the Archangel, who will save humans from mass sacrifice and death with her own ascension. The world is basically angels versus fae, and the humans are kind of stuck in the middle of it all, being a resource needed by both sides to fuel their magic and vitality. As far as the humans know, the fae are evil, and the angels saved and continue to protect them. On the other side, the fae, who are growing more and more bored with their long lives, especially Xander, the King of the Fae, are very interested in the Pure who is about to ascend, as it has been a long time since the last Pure ascended.
There are many questions posed throughout, some which we don’t get an answer to by the end of the book (it’s the start of a series, so I wouldn’t expect to). When the fae successfully abduct Gabriella (the Pure) and bring her back to Xander’s castle, it triggers the brink of war between angels and fae. She is determined to return to the angels and maintain her Pure status so she can fulfill her destiny, but Xander intrigues her. There is an ongoing question about what actually makes her Pure, is it moral, is it physical, is it something else? Xander pushes the limits to test his questions on this, and Gabriella is basically along for the ride as she is drawn to him. As truths about history and their lives come to light, things become even more confusing for Gabriella. She’s not really uneducated or unintelligent, but she is definitely naive, and that really comes back to bite her by the end of the story.
There’s a decent amount of world building happening in this book, so it does tend to move a bit slower at times, but I think that this additional information will likely become useful as the series continues. There is definitely a cliffhanger style ending, although to be honest, I’m not sure who’s side I’m on. I think I feel more for Xander at this point, because Gabriella’s naïveté and refusal to admit some truths have caused her situation. At the same time, Xander did his best to help her make her own decisions, but at the same time didn’t really give her the total picture – but was there a reason he couldn’t? That’s unclear. Regardless, the next book is sure to be filled with revenge and a decent amount of steam. I’m also curious to see how the angels can spin all this to make themselves look good here, because in the end, they really do look like the bad guys.
Captured by the Fae King
An amazing story which casts doubts on who you think are the good guys and who are the bad Gabriella has been groomed as The Pure, to be sacrificed to save humanity by being the Archangel’s bride, when she is kidnapped on her Ascension Day by the Fae King himself The Fae King has a plan which has been 500 years in the making, however, his reaction to The Pure might destroy everything he’s planned
A story worth reading and I can’t wait to see what happens in Book Two I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review
Once again I am sucked into another series! But it is completely worth it.
I originally had high expectations for this book, having read many but Thorn by now. I knew what to expect. However it was better than expected! The world building is fantastic as always. The characters are well thought out and so detailed. The story is original which in this day and age is a bit hard to do.
All in all, will be anxiously awaiting more.
This far romance adventure was such fun to read. The world building was phenomenal and I adored the world that Jennifer Thorn has created. It’s full of wonder as you read all the details and you can really picture each scene in your head. The characters were well balanced and really likable. The romance was lovely and I enjoyed every aspect of the relationship building and changing. The plot was solid and kept me engaged right from the start. If you live far stories, this book will have you smiling from ear to ear. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
I recieved an arc copy in return for an honest review.
Another great addition for this author! This new book is steamy, fast paced, and left me reeling! I loved the main characters, the intricacies of the fae and angels culture, and I can’t wait for the next one. I especially loved the fae king as an anti hero character trope who falls for the innocent maiden…. it never gets old. Truly different from other angelic or fae stories I’ve read.
This series is off to a wonderful start. The world building is incredible and you get sucked into the story straight away with it’s intriguing storyline. I love Gabriella, her character is so strong and is on her way to be ascended when Xander the fae king kidnaps her. An exciting slow burn Paranormal Romance that I am intrigued to see what happens next.
Captured by the Fae King (Sins of the Fae King Book 1) by Jennifer Thorn is a wonderful story that I loved reading. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand series that I am so hooked on. I highly recommend this story to everyone.
I read a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.
This was marvelous. Very interesting and kept me jumping several times. Gabriella have only her faith. Prayers and light is all that she knew all her life. Till the day he had captured her, at the most glorious moment of her life. Or was it? She is pure and was fed lies all her life. He is sin, always planning something, but at least he don’t lie to her, he does hide some informations, but never lie. He opened her eyes, shown things she would never believe could be true. At the end she made her decision, she lost a lot by doing so, more than she was ready to, still lost in imagination of her faith. It was a beautiful story of believing and searching deep within to uncover the truth. And truth is never as we expect it to be.
ONE SPECTACULAR ADVENTURE

The scenes are abundantly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating a majestic backdrop that’s so rich and lively it feels as though you’re part of the story instead of on the sidelines, feeling everything the characters feel. Fabulous job Jennifer, thanks for sharing this awesome little gem with us.
FINALLY. It took me a while to secure a copy of this via one of my local libraries and I’d been dying for it!
Is it worth the wait? Yes, yes it is! This went FAST, between just an intriguing world, witty characters, lots of tensions between races, and action and heartache and so much happening … it’s an extremely fun read and I’m dying for the next book.
I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of angels as evil and corrupt, it was well done and added more fun to the read.
I recommend this read.
4 stars.

Wow! Kale has a super sexy voice and he just performs really well. He fits as Xander and gets the attitude across really well. Cassandra does a pretty good job as well and is pleasant enough to listen to.
Great performance, overall.
