Entwined (HELL’S BASTARD, #4)

I’m still reeling over everything I have read and this book didn’t soothe me like it was supposed to the ending sent me free falling again, just after I was feeling all warm and fuzzy. Yup this author has kept the steam billowing and the action speeding, and the dead bodies piling up. It aint over and the fat lady aint singing. Finally Boxer and Doc. Finally no blows between Boxer and Edge. There’s more but I aint telling. This is definitely a high strung emotional journey and I have succeeded in enjoying each book along the way. The author keeps the tension high and as soon as you think you can breathe she takes you on another spiral full tilt. They may have rescued Whisper and some of the ladies but they lost some good men in the process. They still don’t realize that Filip is still alive and a threat so don’t go thinking this author is done messing with your head and heart. Whisper is coming back with Miss C’s help but it aint over yet. As Whisper and Edge finally have some kind of talk the real stuff is being put off until after Christmas. The guys, Miss C, Doc and Phoenix are all there to make it the best Christmas ever. . . . we hope.

Entwined is book four in Emma James’ Hells Bastard series, it is highly recommended that you have read the previous Wrenched, Warped and Contorted prior to this book. Entwined continues on right where Contorted ends.

EDGE
Not once in all the thoughts going through my mind did I guess what Doc’s secret was.
Not f*cking once.

WHISPER
I need to cocoon myself from my reality.
Whisper is broken.
My name is Sara.

SARA
Edge hurt me.
He helped me.
He saved me.
I’m very confused.

FILIP
They think they are free to walk away.
Their own naïveté will be their downfall.

I couldn’t wait to get started on this book especially after the way Contorted ended, I needed to know what was going to happen after Edge was able to get Whisper. I was not disappointed, this book had me hooked from the very beginning right up to the end. Another emotional roller coaster, so many ups and downs are experienced in this book, it’s full of suspense, drama, heartache, love, devotion, trust and secrets will be revealed. Once again Emma James give an enthralling and addictive book with multiple pov’s with characters we know and love, characters new to the group and characters you want to shoot.

The struggles Whisper or should I say Sara goes through in this book are hard to witness, she may be free but is she really? Whisper has gone through so much her in life, she is strong but the mind can only handle so much before it cracks and the person you were needs to be boxed away and become someone else. She’s been help captive by two monsters, she been beaten, assaulted and threatened. Now she is pregnant to the man who shot her and she doesn’t know how she feels about him, but one thing she is sure about she won’t, can’t loose the baby, she will protect it no matter what.

Cezar may be dead and Whisper may be back with him, but Edge can’t get her to look or talk to him. He is obsessed with her and wants to do everything he can to get her in his life, but there is secrets between them and no one is telling him a thing. Boxer is blocking him from seeing her, he doesn’t know how she is doing and it’s driving him crazy. He needs someone in his corner, someone that will help heal Whisper, he must go and get Miss Catherine.

I loved this book, I love Whisper and Edge they are opposite sides to a coin, she is is sweet to his dark. I loved all the characters, especially with the Winterland they created to make Whisper happy and feel normal. But I do have to say I wanted to hit Boxer in this book, he really irritated me with his holy than now attitude towards Edge. Now here me out, I understand he is a little sceptical towards Edge cause he did shoot her, but let’s be honest if it wasn’t for Edge, they may have never found Whisper. If he wasn’t at the house the night of her abduction no one would have know she was taken or where to without him being there. Plus give the guy a break he has not stopped looking for her, he has been beaten not once but twice and never retaliated and he’s been shot, all in the while looking for her. Then Boxer shows up and refuses to let the one guy that has gone up and above to find Whisper from see her, right when they need each other. Plus the whole pregnancy secrecy, everyone knew except for the guy that needed to know, what’s up with that? (Rant over) but in the end things are settled and are an amends of sorts… also Adam, why you gotta be so mean….

Entwined ends on a massive cliffhanger so be prepared to have Venerated ready to follow on with as this is going to be one heck of a conclusion to Edge and Whisper.
