In the last scene we see, Erik has been captured and being held and experimented on at Tramblewood. Then switches again to Talia's POV after Penny's trial, while their awaiting her execution and Talia is holed up at the McDonough home and Erik comes to visit and they get some time to just be, and Erik reassures Tals of his place by her side. Then it shifts to after Talia's solo mission and run-in with Ian Crane, when she is injured and Erik goes to visit her in the hospital while she is still unconscious (Erik POV). It starts with their very first meeting when Talia and Erik fight for her chance to join the Hunters (Talia POV). It is the condensed version of Talia and Erik's story without all the extra storyline. *Read the other stories or review before this!*Ĭaptivated isn't your normal go-between novella. These short stories have me hungry for more! I won't give anything away, but suffice to say it is from Erik's point of view, and it gives a hint as to what comes next - in Created, the next book in the series. Oh my! The fourth story - now that has me excited. It is so sweet in its simplicity, but exactly what Talia needs at the time. But Erik is oblivious as he has planned a lovely surprise for Talia. Mac isn't altogether happy about it, and shows it in how he speaks to Erik. In this one Mac has agreed that Erik can come and visit, staying in their house, and spend some time with Talia.

The second of the stories is one we don't know about from the previous novels, because Talia wasn't told about it! Following Talia being admitted to hospital after finally meeting Ian Crane, Erik manages to spend just 5 minutes with her, and agrees not to contact her again following a short conversation with the Director.Īgain we return to Talia's point of view for the third story. It is also the first time she meets Erik. The first of these short stories is from Talia's point of view, and is of her final fight in the trials she had to go through in order to become a Hunter for Toxic. This is not a standalone novella, you need to have read the full length books in order to fully appreciate what the author shares with us in these stories. This saga contains 4 books so far, with a fifth due out this summer, all of which I have previously read and reviewed.

This is a short story, well actually 4 short stories, giving us an insight into several moments in the lives of Talia and Erik, 2 of my favourite characters from the Talented Saga.
