I can’t recommend this author enough!
Dark, raw, and brutal.
A story of survival
And finding love in the darkest of places.
This story is full of twisted cruelty wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket of first love. Dark and gritty, no sugar coating in this one. I loved every minute of this story and can’t wait for book two! Cliffhanger warning…
Exciting and intense!!
This is my first book read by this author, and definitely not the last! Currently reading Severance the book 2 in the Entangled Duet!
I’m utterly speechless after this book! Chaos is unlike any book I’ve yet to read. It’s hands down the most intensely, terrifyingly graphic book I have ever come across! This book will twist you up and leave you Mindfu9cked! Let’s talk about that beginning, I went into this book without being prepared. I hadn’t read any reviews just the blurb and once I started I couldn’t stop. The prologue killed me, it turned the blood in my veins to ice. But I.COULDN’T.STOP.READING. It’s so frightening, the first few chapters had my heart trying to beat out of my chest. My body went into that heart-pounding, frozen panic that I get from watching a scary movie. But I. COULD’T. STOP. READING. I was well and good terrified but unable to pull my eyes from the pages. I had to know what was going to happen next. I swear I could hear that creepy tempo music drifting all around me. It hurt to breathe through some of these graphic scenes. This book is NOT for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach. Because of the story starts off intensely sick and twisted! And it’s hella descriptive! This book could be a movie. I could finally breathe again when we get to part two, ten years have past and our main characters come face to face with each other after all these years! And the heat cranks up while everything unravels and our nightmare is back! This book had me on edge! It was wayyyy too short, that cliffhanger ending came way too soon! And now I’m too far gone with this book! I have to know what happens! Radcliff created a magnificent story! I loved it! This should definitely be on the big screen! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I don’t even know how I got through this book without fighting someone. It messed with my emotions in so many ways. I didn’t know what was going to happen from one page to the next and I was riveted. I don’t think I even blinked while reading this. It’s dark and twisted and full of twists and turns but so much passion. The way Kai and Dahlia are drawn to each other should not make me happy but their relationship works and it’s all because of the words in this story and how the characters are developed.
This is the 1st part of a duet, and my word, I am blown away!! This is Dahlia and Kai’s story, and how they meet when they are young, and fate separates them and now they reconnect years later. No spoilers: this is a must read, you will not be disappointed. This talented author had done a superb job in penning this story which covers issues which are sick and are part of current issues in our society today. This is a mind-blowing tale which is dark, twisted, and suspenseful, and I cannot wait to read #2. This story is not for the feint-at-heart and may contain triggers for some readers so just be aware! I was totally captivated throughout this riveting story.
I absolutely loved this book. I would definitely say this book is dark, well the first part. Delilah is a complex character. She lost her power for a while so when she gets it back she is a complete different person. She is back in control, I think she needs to be in control to function, which I dont blame her one bit. Kai, was thrown into a horrible world at such a young age, but he didn’t let that break him. I love how he is such a strong, caring person. This book leaves off on a bit of a cliff hanger, super excited to dive into the second book!
Oh wow was this book good!!! It went in a direction and I didn’t suspect and I loved it. I’m a huge huge fan of dark and this didn’t disappoint one bit. Kai and Dahlia meet under horrible circumstances and it changes them in every way possible but when they meet again as adults it has them questioning certain things. I can not wait for the next one!!!
CM Radcliff loves to twist me into a knot of darkness. Absolutely brilliant! I cannot wait for the next book, I need to know what happens. Why do you do this to me Cali?! Get it, read it, cry, die a slow painful death, then beg for more! Gah! I’ll be in the corner fighting my feelings.
4.5 stars
With my second book by CM Radcliff I willingly threw myself down a rabbit hole I couldn’t have been prepared for even if I tried. This book kept me on the edge from the first page to the last.
The story about two troubled and broken souls who found each other in their darkest hour, is something that won’t let you go. The past (part one of this book) is definitely not for light-hearted readers. It’s sick, dark and twisted.
With the second part comes the second chance, here the book gets gritty, raw and sexy. The characters chemistry is off the charts. And everything in this book will keep your eyes glued to the pages. Because sometimes the past has its way to find the way back into your present.
This book entangled me, my soul and my emotions in a web of thrill and angst and left me waiting on hot coals with the cliffhanger ending.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Cold and numb from her past-Dahlia lives life on her own terms, letting no one in. She shines under the right lights, using herself as a pwn in the game of survival. She dances with danger as she hides behind a mask shielding her weakness. A weakness is a threat that will destroy you, and Dahlia’s is back. But he sees right through her mask. He created it.
With the time and distance between them, Kai clung to her memory. Years ago, he made a deal with the devil to spare her life. He leg her go and played his part as the puppet they created, left in a world without Dahlia. Whether it was fate or destiny, Kai was thrown back into her life and this time,he wasn’t leaving. e cut the strings and the puppet became the puppetmaster, leaving their fate in his hands. But life is precarious when the devil is breathing down your neck. And one mistake is all it takes to hell to rise again.
This is the first book in the Entangled Duet. This book is told in two halves. You have Dahlia who doesn’t understand why she has woken up in a living nightmare. Then you have Kai who is where he is and is just trying to survive it because that is all he knows to do. As a 15 year old Dahlia is trying to run from her nightmare or a kidnapping she bumps into a 17 year old Kai. When she asks him for help and he agrees to help her. Then you have to second half of the book and it is ten years in the future. I am so terrified I am going to give away something in this book and I so do not want to. I will tell you that this book is dark and had me on the edge of my seat. This book is also amazing but you do have to wait for the next book to find out how this story is going to end. I can not wait to get that book in my hands. I am invested in the lives and these characters now and have to know what is going to happen. C.M. Radcliff did an amazing job with this book andI am so glad I got to read it.
The characters are raw and the story flows red with their blood. Kai hides under a mask but when Dahlia crashes into his life they’re both rocked to their core. Their connection is instant but in their depraved world it’s a weakness that should be stamped out. The story flows forward at full speed and I was glued to my seat holding my breath unable to imagine what could be next. A tale cloaked in despair and a deep rooted need to protect. I enjoyed every moment of this wild ride that never stopped. It’s dark and disturbingly captivating.
, what did I just read! This book is dark, sexy and raw everything I’ve come to expected from C.M Radcliff.
After 15 year old Dahlia Moretti wakes up after being kidnapped all she knows she’s in immanent danger and terrified, knowing she needs to get out!
“The Farm” as it is called by the people who are here, the place your worst nightmares reside and for a 17 year old Kai Marino,who bumps into Dahlia on her way to get out and begs him to help her, but will he be able to save them both?!
The second half of this book takes place 10 years later and Dahlia has grown up from the sweet innocent girl to a women who shows no weakness and doesn’t trust easily. One night her past comes back to haunt her and she comes face to face with that part of her life she’s tried to forget.
I cannot wait for the second book in this series. Will Kai step up and be the man Dahlia knows he can be? Or will the monsters from the past win out?!? 5
Utterly Phenomenal and Completely Intense!
WOW! This is one intense rollercoaster ride of twisted darkness! The story is dark, raw, gritty and intensely sexy! It will take you an a journey of SHOCK and AWE – and suprise you with one intense cliff-hanger of an ending!
‘The Farm’ is a sick, dark and twisted place. Kai is shackled to it as this is where his sick and twisted father chooses to raise him and make him part of the family business. Dahlia is a young, sweet and innocent girl who happens to wake up to a nightmare world that just might kill her. When she meets Kai they forge a bond that links them together forever.
Dahlia and Kai are in an impossible situation that creates ripple effects on their futures! Escaping ‘the farm’ put a kink in their relationship and separated them for a while. Once these two souls find each other again, their worlds are very different, but their connection and intense need for each other still exists. Their interactions are explosive and highly combustible. The connection that these two characters have is raw, emotional and powerful. Will they be able to survive the next phase of their futures?
This was a phenomenal and brilliant story that will keep you captivated and entertained right to the end. There are so many little twists and turns throughout that will throw you for a loop and keep you guessing on what the heck is going to happen next. Highly Recommend.
Boy talk about dark. This is a tale that is dark, twisted, and so page turning good. I was sitting at the edge of my seat the whole time. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Entangled Chaos is dark, gritty, and a definite page turner. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I loved the characters and how their story was told in 2 parts. I have never read anything quite like this before and I am looking forward to whatever C.M. Radcliff has in-store for book 2. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone because trust me when I say you won’t be disappointed! You, like me, will also be begging for book 2 as soon as you finish!
5+ WTF did I just read stars!!!
My mind is still reeling from this book.
So many questions I’m dying to have answered.
Jesus. The graphic detailing in this book makes you believe you are right there beside the characters.
Every book this author produces breaks me just a little bit more.
Definitely a must read!!!!
My first book by C.M. Radcliff & it’s OMG good!! I loved this book!! Definitely a page turner with awesome characters Dahlia/Kai, and cliffhanger ending. I received a ARC for my honest opinion.
“The farm”…it’s where your worst nightmare resides…where Kai Marino & Dahlia Moretti are caught in its trap. They might both be stuck but for very different reasons. Can Kai save not only himself but Dahlia too? This is a very dark romance that you won’t be able to put down. Two troubled souls caught in a web they might not be able to escape. It’s better to go into this blind so I don’t want to say to much.This ends in a cliffhanger so my anxiety of what’s to come is off the charts! This is also told in two parts to see Dahlia and Kai from teenagers to adults. Be prepared; Told in dual POV
