Review ~ Entwined with You (A Crossfire Novel) by Sylvia Day
Entwined with You by Sylvia Day
Summary:
From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Something I couldn’t resist. I saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside–so much like my own. I was drawn to it. I needed him as surely as I needed my heart to beat.
No one knows how much he risked for me. How much I’d been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our pasts would become.
Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession…
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I wish I knew how to put those GIFS on here, because right now I’d insert one with my head blowing off.
Ugh, this book was so frustrating. A lot of circles, unanswered questions, then more (new) problems, and even more unanswered questions. Not to mention she ended the book the same way she did the 1st one, as if it was the end of a chapter.
Seriously, I’m sort of angry with this book. All of the previous issues could have been resolved and done in the one, and there really was no reason to add more except to keep writing and selling more books. I have no problem with the writing and selling of books, it’s just we don’t need a story that could be told in 2 books dragged out into 3 never mind 5.
Very few good things happened in this book and, as always, every time things were looking up, shit rained on them in torrents. I felt a lot of aggravation while reading this, and I understand that it was part of setting the mood and the story itself, but it was all left unresolved. Each book should feel resolved in a way, yeah, there are going to be plots that will need to continue throughout the series, but to leave everyone of them open. NO!
And does every woman in the world that sees Gideon want him so badly they can’t live without him. It’s a bit much, if ya ask me. Although, I love Gideon. Love how much he needs Eva and how much he does for her.
And honestly, the only reason I got past book 1 was morbid curiosity. I hate knowing there’s more to a story I’ve started. I can’t NOT finish it.
I recommend this book for suckers like me that have to read a whole series even though it’s annoying. Well, and for those who LOVE a great love connection. There are some great qualities in this book/series, read my review of the second book Reflected in You. There you’ll see the wonderful things that have intrigued me enough to continue to read these books.

I understand what you are saying and yes, it is very annoying if it seems to be more about the money than the book. Your review was abrupt but honest and I respect that. Sometimes authors have to take the good with the bad in order to become better writers. You told the author how to improve their writing, hence, positive criticism ;0
Thank you. I tend to wait before I review so that my immediate, knee-jerk reaction does not convey in my post, but I didn’t, hence, the abruptness in my words. I hate being like that, too.
And, I honestly liked the story as a whole and I’ll be reading the others when they come out too. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I think honesty is always the best policy and readers appreciate so, you are very welcome 🙂
