I read Captivate earlier this
year and when I saw this novella about Iris, I wanted to get to know her and
find out what her real motivations were. It turned out to be a great read and
really did give me a lot of answers.
Iris is a hard person to crack because of the heartache that she had suffered
in the past, but throughout this story her walls began to crumble. It was
interesting to see her let someone in who wasn’t her family. I met a lot of
other characters as well: Iris’ sisters Rose and Lilliana, and I also found out
how Kai fitted into the whole picture. I expected to meet all these people and
not like them as they are evil people, but I found that they weren’t that bad
and were doing something to keep their family together.
Iris was an enjoyable read and although they are the bad people in the
overall storyline, I liked getting to know them better. They weren’t as evil as
I thought they would be, but they were great characters nonetheless. This story
has given greater depth to the whole series. Now that I am done, I am
interested to see what will happen with the original characters, Kat and
Gabriel.
