Entwined is a Darkest London novella. It might be a quick story, but Kristen Callihan still provides a highly entertaining and complete read. Where many novellas fall short in plot and emotional character connections, Entwined gives us a bounty of both.Eamon Evernight is the second son and even though he is smart and good looking he is persecuted by his father and the villagers for his red (evil) hair. When a marriage arrangement is made for his brother with Luella Moran, his brother employees Eamon's assistance in corresponding with Luella. While Eamon can read and write his brother has never took to it, so over the years Eamon was the one who kept in contact with Luella. Over time and many letters, E (Eamon) and Lu (Luella) have grown very fond of each other. But when Luella arrives at the estate, she is still bethrolled to Eamon's brother.The story's progression was seamless, perfectly flowing with action, romance, conflict and resolution. The paranormal element in this story is minimal, focusing more strongly on the progression of the romance. While Callihan still managed to add enough to appease her paranormal enthusiasts. Entwined gives us a brilliant peak into the Darkest London world, leaving us wanting more.I received this copy of Entwined from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) in exchange for a honest review.Written by: Kristen CallihanSeries: Darkest LondonSequence in Series: 3.5Print Length: 120 pagesPublisher: Forever Yours (November 5, 2013)Sold by: Hachette Book Group
