Book Description

Magic, Murder, & Romance – A Resurrection Spell Gone Wrong

Two months after dying, seventeen-year-old witch Graylee Perez wakes up in her twin sister Charlene’s body. Until Gray finds a way back inside her own body, she’s stuck being Charlene every twenty-hour hours. Her sister has left precise instructions on how Gray should dress and behave. Looking like a prep isn’t half as bad as hanging out with Charlene’s snotty friends and gropey boyfriend.

The “normals” of McKinley High might be quick to write her behavior off as post-traumatic stress, but warlock Raj McKenna is the only person who suspects Gray has returned from the dead.

Now Gray has to solve the mystery of her death while working out a way to disentangle herself from Charlene’s body before she disappears for good.

Raj glanced at Gray's lips. He remembered them on his ear. What would it take to get them on his mouth, her tongue against his tongue? Raj took a step back. "I won't be needing magic to get your shirt off."
The fear left Gray's face as she put a free hand on her hip. "And what does that mean?"
Raj pulled out his Zippo and flicked it open. "We'd make a powerful couple, you and me. We've got a lot in common. Think about it." Raj snapped the lighter shut. He moved his thumb to flick it open again then stopped when he saw the way Gray stared at him. The expression was hard to make out. Then it changed.
"You really want the invisibility spell that bad? Well, forget it. I'm not giving it to you and I wouldn't go out with you if you were the last person on earth."
Raj grinned. This wasn't rejection--just a bit of foreplay between a witch and a warlock. "That'd be nice. You, me, and the world to ourselves."
Gray loosened her grip on her pack and let it dangle from her fingers next to her knees. "Sounds like my idea of hell."
"At least in hell we could be wicked."
"You're wicked enough already."
Their eyes locked. Raj felt himself drawn to Gray by an invisible force. He'd never wanted to kiss a girl so badly. Maybe if he imagined her resolve melting away it'd happen. But he didn't have any magical abilities at the moment. Foolishly, Raj had let down his guard and allowed himself to fall under the spell of a girl--the kind of spell any normal was in danger of tripping headfirst into.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a good witchy teen book! March 26, 2012

By Shera

Format:Kindle Edition

Good YA books about witches are the white whales of the genre. It seems like when you pick up a YA title about witches you can expect huge bounds of silliness like The Sweep Series by Cate Tiernan, and the writing usually doesn't get any better than the writing found in The House of Night series. So when I find a good one in that sea of muck, I'm beyond happy. Especially, when I get done reading it and think, "Holy cow!! That was awesome!"

Entangled starts off with teen angst right at the beginning when Graylee's sister, Charlene, is going to jump of the roof of the school because her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. When Charlene jumps instead of a gruesome death she simply floats to the ground below. The magic takes off right there and I love that it's not all funky poems and weird chants. It's more of a mind power, you know believe and you shall achieve. The teen drama in this book is tons of fun with twins Graylee--or just Gray--and Charlene. Just as Gray finds out her sister has been blocking her powers to undermine her confidence Gray wakes up the next morning to find out she died and woke up in her sister's body.

While I thought the mystery behind how Gray died was glaringly obvious, that's not the good stuff. The good stuff is watching Gray come into her magic and find out who her true friends are. Sure that sounds cheesy, but sometimes that is the hardest lesson in life. This book is about character growth and strength, a true treat for any reader.

Besides being an amazing new take on teen witches the romance is just refreshing. Awkward girl meets boy from the wrong side of the tracks, has always been a favorite ploy for romances. What's better is when the reader can watch the two see each other and develop feelings.... I hate it when the two just gaze into each others eyes and it's instant magic. Speaking of bad boys, Raj is one dangerous leading man. What I loved even more was that the story is told not just buy Gray, buy Raj gets some running time. Let's just say by the end of the book I had a huge fictional crush on Raj. Almost big enough to rival my crush for Jace from The Mortal Instrument series.

Entangled is that rare book that is going to make you tape your eyes open to read into the ungodly hours of the night--that's just what Entangled is though. Sure, I will admit there were a couple rough spots, but this book comes close to flawless. The magic will prick your interest and then the characters will pull you in. Evil sisters, good boys that are bad, bad boys that are good, dark pasts, dark magic, wild . . . OK I'll stop. You get the point. This is one fantastic read and I highly recommend it.

Sexual Content: Charlene is quite the promiscuous little lady *cough-slut-cough* and Graylee has a pretty hot make out scene. There's sexual talk and humor, but nothing that will put readers on edge.

5/5- Fabulous, a beautiful obsession!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible story left me aching for the sequel May 4, 2012

By Cheyenne Teska

Format:Kindle Edition

Everything about the summary intrigued me; the twins, witches, death, even the mysterious Raj McKenna stood out. By the time I got through the first chapter, I couldn't put the book down. Entangled captured me within its pages and wouldn't let me go until I found out the truth and what the main character, Graylee, was going to do to get out of a particularly sticky situation.

Though Charlene seems a bit psychotic after her recent breakup, her vengeful words are just spoken out of heartbreak, right? There's no way she could ever harm another person, but Graylee has her doubts. By accident, Graylee ends up six feet under with no recollection of the night of her death, or even how it happened. Not only is she dead, but as it turns out, her mother went through hell trying to get her back and now Gray is stuck in a hell of her own--her sister's body...Only she's not the only one in there.

Somehow, when Graylee shows up at school in Charlene's body, Raj knows it's her. All he's been is a nuisance to her, but now he's one of the only people she can go to for help. Raj is one of my favorite characters and I believe that Jefford did a wonderful job creating him. He may not be the cookie-cutter type that some girls go for, but he's very loyal to Graylee and has an interesting story of his own.

Throughout the book, I was enchanted by the author's writing. I could feel the magic, betrayal and mystery that her words described as I read on. Not only was her style of writing right up my alley, but the entire plot has been woven together perfectly. There wasn't a dull moment for me, which made me feel like I could read a lot more about the lives of these characters. I can say that I definitely plan on reading the next installment in the series....

5.0 out of 5 stars Entangled April 11, 2012

By Lili Lost in a Book

Format:Kindle Edition

Magic, witches, and bad boys, oh my! Some of my favorite things mixed into one great book...I loved it! And the book cover...absolutely gorgeous!

I thought the idea of twin sisters sharing one body was totally unique! Uniqueness is always a plus in my book! But I felt terrible for Graylee, she having to be in a body that's not hers and pretending to be someone she's not...talk about an identity crisis! And I have to say, this is the worst case of sibling rivalry I have ever seen (or is it read? lol)! But that's actually what made the story interesting! It's a shame though, `cause I have twin brothers so I know how one can't be without the other even though they do have their little fights. But Charlene...oh, Charlene. She crossed the sibling rivalry line and went beyond! But Graylee is a strong character! She is amazing!

But now let's talk about another character, one I really, really, REALLY liked...Raj! Oh Raj *sighs* I seriously have a weakness for bad boys...especially if they give steamy kisses like Raj does ;) I thought he was an amazing character...very sweet, too.

I love stories about witches and magic! Just LOVE them! If I were to be a supernatural creature, I would like to be a witch, no doubt about it! So of course I thought this was a great book! I couldn't put it down! No, seriously...I finished it in one sitting! Sure I stayed up till like 1 am or so, but it was totally worth it! This doesn't happen to me often, but when it does it means the book was just that amazing! Definitely worth reading! I thought it was crazy (in a good way) and I can't wait for book two!
