The first, and most important is, has the sequel been released in audiobook format? The reason is that this book is <em>extremely<\/em> slow, and not much of note happens. This story only serves to push the story ever so slightly forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the second question to answer is; Did you listen to the prequel and book 1, and did you enjoy them? If yes, then this book is more of the same. If not, why are you reading this? While I didn&#8217;t enjoy book 1 much, as I thought it was going to be a happy romance, based on the prequel, this story managed to renew my interest in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the story is mostly filler, there are some interesting scenes and reveals along the way that took me by surprise. Those scenes are the saving grace for the book, and the only thing preventing me from suggesting you skip it outright. I think they&#8217;re better experienced firsthand, as opposed to finding them out in book 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The audio narration was great. There were a handful of words the narrator pronounced that threw me off, but otherwise, she did a great job of narrating and acting out the character&#8217;s lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy.

This time, they will take it all.<\/p>\n<p>Magic is dangerous. No one knows that better than Catherine. She thought she would be content with her garden and a quiet life. But she longs for connection. When she tries to reach out to others, disaster strikes. Creeping vines emerge from Faery choking the gardens of Thornwood, corrupting the minds of those who encounter it and turning them into raving zombies. Among those infected is Catherine\u2019s niece. And her only hope at a cure is Ray. <\/p>\n<p>After the accident, she swore never to speak to Ray again. But with three days until the plant kills, she must put aside her vow to save the village. To stop the spread, they must find the plant\u2019s origin and destroy it. Catherine\u2019s magic can do that if she can learn from Ray. As her magic flourishes beneath his tutelage, so do her feelings that she\u2019s tried to deny.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing her magic means luring in the fae and losing a piece of her humanity. Caught like a fly in a web of intrigue, Catherine struggles to find a balance between her desire to be human, the threats that lurk in shadows, and the ancient songs of Faery calling her home&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Get lost in the magic of Tangled in Thorns, the second in this gothic romantic fantasy trilogy. Fans of Uprooted and Daughter of the Forest will not want to miss this tale steeped in fae intrigue, romance, and mystery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[315,26,13,504,4,12,281,109,105,197,210,66,179,181,332,262],"tags":[317,21,8,9,53],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2347"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2349,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347\/revisions\/2349"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
