Entangled

Sep 24, 2011 Larena rated it 5 of 5 stars · review of another edition

Halloween Frost by Jennifer Estep
This one is part of her Mythos Academy series though readers reading this one really won’t feel lost if they haven’t read the other books in the series. Based on the myths and gods and goddess it is story that is different and fun to read.

The Fat Cat by Edie Ramer
This story gives new meaning to witches and their love of cats though the cat in this story is anything but a typical cat and has a personality that makes this story very entertaining. Tory is the witc...more

Like a great buffet, this anthology gives you the chance to taste a little bit of everything. Short and sweet, these stories did a good job drawing me in, setting the hook, and adding books to my to be read pile. While not every story in this anthology was a winner, there were enough great entries and variety to keep me eager to flip to the next page.

This dual review was originally posted at Book Lovers Inc

Stella: When I asked for Halloween read recommendations Marlene was quick to name the Entangled anthology, and when we started discussing it we thought why not make a special Halloween related dual review of it? Since it has more than 10 stories we thought reviewing the whole anthology would be way too long, so we decided for each of us to pick 2 stories and give you our thoughts on them.

Seriously, what can I say? I love short paranormal suspense stories! And you can really beat the bunch line here all the proceeds go to the Cancer Foundation. :) No one can feel bad about buying this book. I really enjoyed all the stories, I loved the Halloween theme!

I feel like I'm so bad at reviewing anthologies - because a good anthology to me has stories in an order that makes sense to a reader, which Entangled has. But I find it hard to evaluate the stories on there own when there are many....more

Nearly all of the stories in this book are based in, and around Halloween. The majority of them are urban with the acceptation of A Night of Forever by Lori Brighton, which is set in 1859. The majority of the stories feature characters from the authors’ others books.

The majority of them are urban with the acceptation of A Night of Forever by Lori Brighton, which is set in 1859. The majority of the stories feature characters from the authors’ others books. Sometimes this can mean the reader does not understand what is going on, or is unable to develop any bond to these characters. This was true for me in a couple of these stories (Allison Brennan’s Ghostly Justice, Jennifer Estep’s Halloween Frost). On the other hand featuring characters from certain stories can also draw in readers (Edie Ramer’s The Fat Cat, Dale Mayer’s Sian’s Solution).

All of the stories have a female leads, and a main man who is attracted to her. The problem was the man or woman fights whatever is after them, usually connected to Halloween, The Blood Moon, or Paranormal woo-woos so much that the stories started to feel the same. There are some stories that held some neat ideas that stood a part like, Nancy Haddock’s Medium Rare, was an all-out ghost battle.

There are a lot of vampires, werewolves and witches. Some of my favorite out of these were, Dale Mayer’s Sian’s Solution, and Liz Kreger’s Feel the Magic. Sian’s Solution has vampires and humans living apart, relationships between the two are looked down upon. Sian must save her man from not being a blood donor. Feel the Magic is about Jenna who has been contracted to turn a woman into a cat. Both put interesting spins on the usual Urban Fantasy world. My favorite is Dale Mayer’s The Fat Cat, about a witch whose cat can speak to her.

Some stories didn’t do it for me, or I thought were too long for the point they were trying to make. One of those was Allison Brennan’s Ghostly Justice which featured a couple trying to discover who was murdering people. It felt like the couple kept chatting about the past just to inform the readers of the past, and it made me feel a little lost. This is also true in Jennifer Estep’s Halloween Frost, the story feels more like an event inside of the novels instead of a standalone story.

There are more than a few stories in this book that set me on new (to me) authors. It is also nice that this book is for a good cause, breast cancer. Out of eleven stories there were only four I didn’t care for, and the rest I would rate a three or higher. That is really good for a book like this. It is also a good book to get into the Halloween mood.

I picked this anthology up because all proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which is a wonderful cause. Many of the authors' lives have been touched by cancer in one way or another, some first-hand. The volume is Halloween-themed, as well.

I don't believe I've read anything but short stories by any of these authors in the past except for Jennifer Estep, and I haven't read the Mythos Academy series in which her story is set. I'm more likely to read it now than I was before.

This review is based only on the following stories:

Jennifer Estep - This short was set in the Mythos Academy. I loved how blase Gwen was about Halloween, more interested in the treats that the costume and other goodies that they got. It didn't surprise me that trouble seemed to find Gwen and that she handily took care of it, too bad about the lost treats though.

Cynthia Eden - This short seemed like it would easily fit in her shifter series set in New Orleans. I did like Julian and felt sorry for...more

I decided to do a mini review of this book since the descriptions were so good at profiling all the stories within this book. This was an enjoyable anthology even though some of the author afterwords were a bit bittersweet since many of them knew of someone with breast cancer or cancer in general. I've always believed that the cure to one cancer will lead to others (and cures for other diseases as well), so I believe it is important to support these endeavors even if it isn't the type of cancer...more

Jennifer Estep –Halloween Frost
It’s Halloween at Mythos Academy, but Gwen Frost and her friends are in for more tricks than treats when they run into a mythological monster intent on killing them.
This story is a short from her Mythos Academy world. I have not read book 1 and this story took place after that but I still could read and enjoy this story. I liked Gwen who is the heroine, we got to see her fight and we got to hear about her doomed crush. All which made me interested in this world.

This has been an entertaining anthology. Each story has left me wanting more than just a taste from each author. This is a must buy for the worthy cause of raising money for breast cancer research. This anthology includes one of my favorite authors, Jennifer Estep. After reading this book, my to-read list has grown; I will be adding Cynthia Eden, Misty Evans, Lori Brighton (The Ghost Hunter was pretty good!) and Edie Ramer to my list ASAP.

Only one word describes this book--boring. There wasn't a speck of originality in any of the stories. They were boring, flat, and I honestly didn't care what happened to any of the characters. I barely finished this book. If you by chance happen to like good literature, or maybe something original, steer clear of this book. If you just like anthologies, try Charles deLint's Waifs and Strays. Now those are good reads!

I bought the Entangled as soon as it was released but I wanted to wait until October when the book tour was over, and perhaps reach a few people who still hadn't heard about this amazing anthology. I loved the stories-all ten are worth buying on their own, so $2.99 is a bargain. Some of the authors were favorites, but others were new to me. That's the joy of an anthology. This one though is special for another reason; proceeds from the sales are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

I liked this book in theory - or at least I like the fact that it was for Breast Cancer.

However, the stories in here I found less thrilling. Most were very stereotypical paranormal romance and I ended up skimming my way through the bulk of it. Sorry to say but this anthology did not catch my interest at all. Pass.

Halloween Frost by Jennifer Estep - This is a very short short story. Gwen goes trick or treating with her friends. She encounters a prowler and of course, Logan. This story was to short to give a review. This is definitely the shortest novella I've read. Nothing significant happens. If you don't read it, you're not missing anything.
