Freaky Friday gone wrong anybody? Imagine living only every other day. This is what Graylee has to deal with after she dies, only to wake up in her sister's body - except, her sister still uses it too. Eep. Doesn't this sound horrifying? It is! It's also wildly entertaining.
I'm guilty - again - at having completely forgotten what this book was about when I got around to reading it. I knew it related to witches (which is enough for me) but that is all I could recall. As soon as I was introduced...more

Initial reaction: I'll write a full review of this once I get home, but I haven't read a book that made me this upset in a while. It wasn't so much for the premise itself as much as the execution of so many things, and honestly, I don't think Jefford writes characters of color and their experiences well AT ALL. This book was not funny, not engaging, and ultimately did not improve as the story went on. Hopefully I can explain in more objective terms what went wrong in my full review.

First off I have to say that the cover for this book is absolutely lovely. The colors make it really stand out.
I went into Entangled with the expectation of reading a decent book. The premise goes like this: Graylee Perez is a witch, and two months after her death she wakes up in her twin sisters body. Now they have to figure out the mystery of Graylee's death and how she ended up resurrected before she disappears for good. Sounds good right? Unfortunatley it only took me about 15 minutes of r...more

Graylee "Gray" and her twin sister, Charlene, don't quite get along. They are both witches, but Gray's power is less than her sister's - until she finds out Charlene was shielding Gray's power and holding her back.

This is a DNF review. Below you will find the reasons I could not finish this book.
Essentially, what it comes down to is the simple fact that Entangled was written horrendously. Nikki Jefford was all over the place, and I wasn’t willing to put myself through the process of reading this book.
Entangled’s narrative was sloppy and inconsistent. The few transitions were rough and badly-done. Jefford’s pacing was inconsistent, her sentences didn’t fit well together, and her purpose in writing this nov...more

You see, I really have great respect for self-published authors. Writing a book is no small feat to begin with, but taking a chance with it, publishing it yourself, I think that’s great. I know some people shy away from self-published novels, thinking they are bad, but I’ve never thought that. A book can be good or bad, no matter the means by which it went to the presses.

*I received this book from this Author for an honest review*
Before I start I would like to say that recently Ive been reading a lot of Indie books and most of them have become some of my favorite books and this book is one of them!
In Entangled we are introduced to Graylee "Gray" and Charlene Perez. They are Identical twins who share the same face but are totally different in every way. Except the fact that both twins are witches and are always trying to be a step ahead of each other. We have Gra...more

This was a fun book. I was able to finish it in almost one sitting and I enjoyed getting to know Grey and Raj. I thought Grey was a really spunky girl. I loved her snark and the heart she showed when things got really crazy which was often. I liked that the POV was split between her and Raj. Raj was this troublemaker type of guy, who turned out to have more depth than you'd think. Raj acted like he didn't care about anything and was totally above it all but he was really just a good guy who has...more
Entangled is a book perfect for inciting WTF reactions from normal people who have common sense. I outline here some of the completely nonsensical reactions and decisions from some characters, along with other idiocy:
1. Firstly, a half-Indian boy who also happens to be a warlock with an infatuation - oops, sorry, I meant he's in tru wuv with the main character, a girl by the unusual name of Graylee, and gets away with doing mildly perverted things to her thanks to his magic. She doesn't return h...more

I heard about this book via the lovely people of the bloggersphere and after being mesmerized by the cover, I had to give it a shot.
Graylee Perez is your average bookworm, Glee-watching, teenage witch. One day she wakes up in her sister's room, in her sister's clothes, and finds out that she has been dead for two months. While she has returned to the world of the living, she and her sister, Charlene, are inhabiting the same body and must share it in 24-hour shifts.

A Review of Nikki Jefford's Entangled
This book is just plain unfair. Shouldn't they have at least put on some sign that said Warning: Do not read when you're not prepared to die of starvation.
I didn't get a single pint of food in my system when I was reading this. Literally.
My mom went up to my room a bazillion times just to get me down to eat. Her efforts were in vain as I was engrossed in this.

I found this story was one of loss, betrayal, discovery, love, acceptance, renewal, and second chances. I am looking forward to continuing this series...I can’t wait to see what Lee and Raj have in their future.

When I first read the synopsis for this novel, I instantly fell in love; I'd never heard of anything quite like it, and I couldn't wait to start reading it. Unfortunately, the book didn't catch me.
I don't tend to write reviews on novels that I haven't finished, since if I haven't read the whole of it, I can't really give it a truthful review. However, I will say that from reading 30% of it, I got the gist of how poor it was. It was dull and poorly written, all of the characters were whiney and i...more

I first read it as the short story "Spellbound" on the Death by Chocolate anthology and was ENTANGLED! I could not put it down, and with the full length novel, the same thing happened. The story is fresh and original. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to see what else Nikki comes out with! Especially book #2!!!
If you haven't read it, then you MUST! NOW!

I felt a bit out of my element and so lost when I read Entangled. I actually started reading it a few months ago but I kept stopping. And now that I just (finally) finished the book, I'm feeling a little lost and dazed.
I enjoyed the book a little, and it was not such a struggle to finish it, but my attention was not altogether captured by the book. I even forgot about the title, although the plot is not easily forgettable so I was able to track it down again.

Graylee must manage the normal pressures of high school while attempting to solve the mysteries of her death and her presence in her sister’s, Charlene’s, body. Graylee must also negotiate her feelings for Raj, the teen warlock who loves her and who realizes that she’s inside of Charlene....more
I'm surprised at how much I disliked this book. I went into this book expecting a really great read. The cover is really pretty and the premise seemed really interesting. However, this book was nothing like I expected.
My first issue is that the characters are all horrendous. I disliked all of them. Each one is more self-absorbed than the last and not in a cute way. In a truly odious way. Greylee and Charlene are identical twins that also happen to be witches. They spend the first 25% of the boo...more

Picking a star count (which is 3.75) for this book is difficult, mostly because I really didn't like the beginning of the book, and really liked other parts.
As for the beginning, we start off with Charlene threatening to jump off of a building because her boyfriend, Blake Foster, broke up with her. Not only that, but she thinks it'll teach him a lesson (among other things). Graylee tries making fun of other people to m...more

I chose to read this book because of the interesting idea of trying to live in somebody else's body, and let's be honest, the cover is amazing. Unfortunately, this book didn't meet my expectations, nor (in my opinion) did the cover hold any relevance to the novel.

Being a twin is hard. My ex had twins, and they faced constant challenges to find their own friends, their own identities, to gain some separation from their former womb-mate. As difficult it is for any twins, identical twins have it especially rough. (Fortunately, my ex had a boy and a girl, so it was a little easier)

You know when you are in the mood for a nice, easy and pleasant read? Entangled is just the book for that. The book is easy to breeze through and will still quench your thirst for a new adventure. The characters are engaging enough to keep the reader interested without giving an insane amount of detail to describe their inner workings. The pacing is nice and quick and the writing smooth and easy to process and enjoy.

I was really excited to get Entangled when I saw that it was a self published work. The story is based on a set of twin witches that are in high school and in my opinion are polar opposites. Charlene is melodramatic, self centered, snotty and just downright mean-girl-psycho. Graylee is down to earth, sweet and caring and likes to dress a bit goth.
