Not exactly what I thought it would be. It was so much better. So Davina was pretty much homeless at the age of thirteen. Her parents where young and stupid and decided that she could take care of herself at a young age. She ended up getting into trouble my borrowing money from a gangster that she couldn’t pay back. She was running out of time and decided it was better to steal the money from the trio of vampires. She did manage to get it but they caught her and you need to read to find out the rest. I received a free arc copy of the book and I am leaving an voluntary honest review.
Captured is Book 1 in the Nightborne Renegades MC series by Imani L Hawkins. This is a fantastic story with characters you want to know better. The combination of vampires and motorcycle club is intriguing. Davina, FMC, has had a rough life since her parents abandoned her at thirteen. She has become a gambler and a computer hacker. We find her in the Nightborne Regenerates bar where she plans to steal $50,000 from Devon, one of the trio who started the club, and is captured. This is a fast paced, action packed, page turning adventure which I thoroughly enjoyed. Am anxious for Book 2 to see what Imani has in store for Davina, Jon, Devon, Smoke. Looking forward to learning more about these individuals. Received a copy from StoryOrigin and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Davina knows what she wants, and she is a gambler. When one gamble doesn’t work out, she turns to another, higher risk one as a hope of escape and finds herself in a situation she never dreamed of. Orphaned as a young teen she is a strange combination of an ingenue, struggling to get by, and the sophisticated manipulator, skilled at getting what she wants. And of course, everyone wants her – or wants to help her from the moment she walks into the bar.
This is the first novella in a serial. While it does use some tropes common to the genre, it was an entertaining read. There is definitely potential and I’m intrigued enough to see where it might lead.
Does a female human really want to be under lockdown protection of vampires?
This story is probably the first series (ever) about vampires and magic that intrigues me.
The story opens with Davina Blackstone sitting in the Nightborne Renegades Vampire motorcycle bar. She plans on doing a computer heist for fifty grand. She owes Jed (a drug dealer) that fifty grand; she needs to pay off the money, or Jed will take her life.
Jon, the vampire bartender, takes a shine to Davina and puts her under his protection. Davina meets Devon, one of the mighty vampire Trio, and it is an instant attraction, unusual, even for a vampire. They hookup. Devon sleeps; she hacks the computer and gets the fifty grand.
Then things really get interesting. A payoff to a drug dealer with designer drugs targeting vampires, a cult that wants to control vampires and humans (with magical gifts) are just part of the action in this multi-threaded tale. We have paybacks from criminals, vampires, cult members. There are secret sanctuaries, gifted children, dirty politicians, and traitors within the vampire community.
What’s a gifted female to do when vampires decide she needs to use her illegal skills to help them take down criminals? A female who stole fifty grand from them. Read and find out.

Alamogordo girl
Once upon a time, when humans and vampires in New Mexico lived under a treaty of detente, a thirteen year old girl raised herself, sleeping in the high school gymnasium when her parents abandoned her. Grown into a streetwise hacker, she makes a bad bet with an underworld type and ends up needing a huge amount of money in a hurry. Out of desperation she targets the wealthy vampires of Nightborne Renegades Motorcycle club, never expecting to find help and friendship– and much more.
Everything in this world is over the top sensational including the villains. This is a version of New Mexico where the 21st century easily intermingles with centuries of supernatural otherness without a single hiccup. Davina’s never lived anywhere else and never considered herself unusual, but the sexy leaders of the MC do. Her flavor is rare and endangered.
The only thing wrong with this book is that it’s inconclusive. It’s going to take several volumes for the whole story of Davina and the Club to unfold.
This is a great start to a new series! It was short and was an easy read. The characters are developed with room to grow as the series expands. It is definitely a different take on the whole motorcycle club trope with the PNR aspects. This made it much more appealing to me. I definitely recommend it for anyone that is into the vampire side of PNR and/or PNR MC stories.
I have got to say that this is a brilliant story. It is jammed packed with action, suspense, and mystery. It had me unable to put it down. It was a feeling of I must find out it’s secrets. Davina is one sweet and tough lady that has been through a lot. Smoke is one intriguing vampire that has you wondering about his past. Devon is one that we don’t yet know but can’t wait to learn about him. Jackson is a mystery unto himself. This is a story that is a quick read but draws you in. This is a must read and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Loving this book. It sucks you right in and the next thing you know it’s the end of the book.

Best Beginning to a Series Ever!
“Captured” the first book in the Nightborne Renegades MC series begins with a bang! This well-written MC tale finds the main character Davina is a vampire biker bar owned by the Renegades attempting to steal $50,000 from Devon another main character who is part of the “Trio” who started the MC. The humor, drama, suspense, intensity, and action continue throughout this dark tale and it doesn’t hurt that Davina and Devon have the hottest chemistry imaginable. This is a wonderful and exciting intro into the Nightborne Renegades world and I look forward to finding out more and more about these characters.

Davina is definitely one person who has lived her life on the edge. She steals from vampires to repay a debt, but winds up hacking for said vampires for forgiveness. What is it that the HU (not vampires) want from her?
The plot and characters of this book were very good. When I came to the end of this book, I sighed until I remembered I had the second book.
“I loved this book, once i started reading it, i read straight through and still wanted more, An action packed story with fab exciting characters. book 2 here i come.”
Love it!!!
This is a great start of a new series, easy to read, page-turner, action-packed book, with a great FMC and two hot as hell vampires MC.
Davina finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy to start a war between humans and vampires, after she stole money from one of the leaders of the Nightborne Renegades Motorcycle Club and now she is working for them… Vampires are going missing, only to return stronger and with a bood lust hard to control, and they are looking for her…. Why and what it is about her that scares them off???… Doubt is threatening her relationship with The Trio, but the chemestry between her and Devon and Smoke is stronger, now they must work together to find out wtf is happening… Can’t wait for the next book, totally recommended!!!
I absolutely loved this book. This book had me from the start and I couldn’t put it down. It’s very well written and loved the characters. The authors did a great job on this book and I’m so excited for the next book. I highly recommend reading, you will not be disappointed.

I liked this story as it mixed vampires and motor cycle gangs together with a mystery. I liked the different take of both and thought it made for a good story. I liked that the MC guys were not all horrible guys but ran the mix of personalities. Some characters were good and some I wanted to slap. The first chapter was a hoot and it got better as the story went. Got hooked after the first chapter and had to keep reading to see how Davina would get herself out of trouble and what would happen next.
Davina has been on her own since her parents abandoned her at thirteen. To pay back a huge debt, she steals from a vampire motorcycle club and ends up working for them in recompense. To her surprise she finds herself happy with them, even if she is sometimes terrified. She is drawn to two of the leaders as they start working together and they feel compelled to protect her. Unfortunately, someone is targeting the club members and is after Davina. Davina is a strong, likable heroine and her love interests are protective and conflicted. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
The series starts with a bang! This may be one of my favorites yet.
I have two wishes. 1. That the book was a bit longer and 2. We had more back story on all the characters.
I can’t wait for book 2 to come out!
A great vampire story. This is a wonderful story of Davina who is a hacker and wants to get a chance at vampire money. This brings her to the attention of a MC that wants to try and keep the fragile peace with vampires and humans. But vampires are disappearing and returning deranged. Someone is trying to get a war between them but who and what does Davina have that scares them? Can’t want for more! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
