How do you escape a man who believes he owns you?

Sophie Steele’s life is ruled by fear. Her husband, Ben Steele, tracks her phone, her bank accounts, her every move. His position as part-owner of a successful surveillance and investigations company gives full rein to his controlling instincts.

When Ben allows Sophie and their son, Benji, to travel interstate to visit family without him, she hopes he’s trying to change. But when he continues to monitor and manipulate her from afar, she realises she no longer wants to live the lonely life he’s forced upon her.

As her determination to leave him grows, she develops a much-needed friendship with Lee, an attractive Taekwondo instructor who promises to help her however he can. But even thinking about leaving Ben is dangerous, and it quickly becomes apparent how far he’ll go to keep her under his control.

How can she escape a man who has the means to hunt her down no matter where she hides? Is the chance of freedom worth risking her and Benji’s lives?

A powerful blend of deceit, manipulation, and intrigue, Captive will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, shocking revelation.

Please note the following content warnings: sexual assault, domestic violence, coercive control, cheating, pregnancy loss.

Intense and brutally honest!

What an intense read! I was hanging on every single page as this terrifying thriller unfolded. The main character Sophie is married to Ben; a controlling and violent man. She's unhappy and wants out as his violence gets more intense. But he's hiding even more treacherous things that she doesn't even realize... yet. As the events unfold, Sophie realizes she's not the only woman in Ben's life that's in danger.This story is heavily about domestic violence and how scary that experience is and how it can feel suffocating to even consider trying to escape. Sophie is surrounded by those that are able and willing to help, but that puts them in danger as well. Sophie's experience was very well represented and supportive of those in that environment. Domestic violence is a very serious thing and Cally Jackson is sensitive to the subject and tells a story about bravery and perseverance, even when facing your worst fears.Highly recommend for all those thriller fans out there!

Absolutely amazing read!

Read in one day because I couldn’t put it down. I must say it kept me engrossed the entire time. Not to give away any spoilers, but the book certainly made me want to keep on reading. Highly recommend Cally's other books also, check them out!
