E-Galley provided by publisher for review on my blog, from which this is adapted. No remuneration exchanged and all opinion presented herein are my own except as noted.With charmingly written correspondence between the two love interests this story is a real winner. A lot is left unexplained; for example the nature of Eamon’s and Aiden’s family.It’s interesting and very different in flavor from the earlier Darkest London pieces about sisters with certain abilities. I felt Callihan had been heavily influenced here by Leanna Renee Hieber, who writes similarly mysterious stories.There are amusing twists, amazing turns and a great love comes into play.The Darkest London series is a great mix of paranormal romance, steampunk and historical fiction. The steampunk is pretty subtle, and not much found in ENTWINED. It’s a hard mix to pull off  but Callihan succeeds!Eamon is like Zeus and Hera’s son, the God of the Fire and Craft, Hephaestus, as he works in his mysterious forge.I really enjoyed this short read, although I fail to see it’s relationship to the Darkest London series it must be related to the novel EVERNIGHT out this coming August. I highly recommend the Darkest London series and ENTWINED.
