💔

Eden has changed beautifully - becoming every bit the warrior she wished to be.

In this book, we see the crashing, the repairing, and then the devastation of Eden's relationships - both romantically and platonically. 

Truth be told, I feel devastated myself. What do you mean the third book to this Trilogy isn't out yet? And this book ended on a cliffhanger like THAT?! What do you mean this is how I start my 2025 reading marathon off?!

This read has been a roller coaster in the best and most unfathomable way. Hearts have been broken, they have been mended, they have been crushed. My own heart hurts for Dom and the fragility of the relationship they were forming, only for it to be exposed in such a way so early on. 

Eden is a quiet protector, suffering the guilt of doing what she thought could keep her loved ones safest. Her biggest downfall: not letting those loved ones in on her thought process. Instead allowing her protection to look more like betrayal and feel every single bit of it. 

My heart hurts. My eyes hurt. Day Death may have happened 5 years ago, but Ddomsday is looming on a knifes edge. 

To be completely honest, I have no idea how she is going to repair the chasms that have been created... How she will bridge across them and reach the ending she deserves. But I cannot wait to find out.

Don't break my heart too much Rebecca Quinn. I don't think I have the same kindness as Beau, the same understanding as Jasper, the same unquestioning faith of Jayk, the silent approval of Dom, and definitely not the resilience of Lucky. 

I am hoping beyond hope that this series ends with a happily ever after.

Thoughts: 💡
I’m still struggling to contextualize just how deeply and profoundly this book has rocked me. This is hands down my favorite book of the year. The emotional depth of these characters is astounding, the first book was beautifully written with some emotionally gripping sections, but this one was so much better. Jasper’s inner monologue on the symphony of sound, Beau’s doctor games, Dom’s rules, Licky’s Pranks, Jayk’s slowly thawing heart, Eden’s fury and character development, Beau with the cheese, and chapter’s 44-48 🔥. To be perfectly honest I had over 200 highlights in the text and even more bookmarks in the audiobook. And yes, you do need both of those experiences.

Writing Mechanics: ✍️ 
I will never be able to hype this book or audio enough. It’s brilliantly written and well crafted, and the narration is on point. One of the notes I made for myself while reading was that Ensnared was built around Eden’s quiet strength, while Entangled is about her quiet fury.
There are a multitude of moving parts to the plot and so many deeply developed and diverse characters. This book had me laughing, crying, and super 😉 on a repeating cycle.

Narration & Sound:🔊

The entire cast did themselves on this audio. I got chills more than once from listening to it. The story is incredible and the narrators portrayed accents and inflections perfectly. 

It’s a full cast audio so while the chapter is voiced by the character who’s POV it is, the individual dialogue is portrayed by the voice actor representing that character. Then the sound engineer did an incredible job piecing the sound bites together because it all flows seamlessly and makes an incredibly immersive experience.

There isn’t a cliffhanger, but prepare yourself for the ending. This isn’t the end of the series, so the end of this book…. Well, you’ll see.
