Enthrallment

As always I enjoyed the book This one was a nice surprise. I thought it was beautifully written. The attention to detail, was great. The twists and turns this story took were unexpected and kept me on the edge of my seat. I never expected the outcome!

My overall thoughts and impressions of Enthrallment are that this book is an intriguing and promising beginning start. The author cleverly builds a world that is full of questions and romance. After finishing this novel I was left in awe because of the many unexpected twists this story took. This is not a traditional tale because you are never quite sure of who to trust and many answers are not given easily or quickly.

I loved the moments of genuine surprise and curiosity that this story permeated throughout my reading, I am curious as to where the characters will go in future installments.
I was swept away with this story and loved the main character, Zara and her unique relationship with Dorian.

The plot of this story consists of a college aged protagonist, Zara, who is inexplicably drawn to her new next door neighbor, Dorian, who she shares an instant connection to. This connection builds and grows thought their many interactions and everything hits a breaking point towards the end of the novel where the reader is left speechless with anticipation for the next chapter of this story. You are nervously anticipating where there relationship goes after the shocking cliffhanger.

The author weaves a creative story that is well balanced with mystery and romance. I would recommend this novel because of its interesting premise and multi dimensional characters that are not as they appear. This novel is full of many twists and turns and has me eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Zara is a 3rd year Uni student working part time at Walgreens. Also, Zara is a fan of horror flicks. Living with her Aunt, Cynthia, and her cousin, Maddie, Zara lives quite the normal life - except for her nightmares.

A couple (Dorian and Rita) move in to the house adjoining that of Zara & family. They are in their late 20's / early 30's .

One day, Zara is locked out of her house (forgot her keys) and Dorian is outside lounging on his porch. He invites her over for a chat. She becomes extremely, uncontrollably drawn to this man. Desire exudes from Zara for Dorian. Rita comes home and Zara finds out Dorian and Rita are cousins. Not husband and wife! They invite Zara inside their house and Dorian touches Zara's tattoo. Immediately, Zara is in extreme pain just from Dorian's light touch.

What????? And that's just the beginning...

Intrigue and suspense abound in this book!!! I literally could not put it down!

Many Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for a great read.

This was my fist book by this author and I really enjoyed it! This book was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat! The ending wowI did not see that coming and I am so glad I gave this book a chance!

I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

i really enjoyed this mystery book, the characters were great and I really enjoyed going on this journey. I liked that this had a romance as well as a mystery.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I found it well written but wordy and couldn't connect to the characters, who acted immature at times. This book also ends on
a cliffhanger, leaving so many unanswered questions.

Three and a half stars rounded up to four.
I'm a bit unsure of how I feel about this one. I'll start with the good. There's certainly plenty going on here. I will also say that this book, being the first in the Enthrallment series, is left of a cliffhanger. Not always my favourite way for a book to finish, but this one has left me wanting more. I don't know how it's going to play out and there are certainly plenty of questions left to answer. The attraction between our main characters Zara (short for Zahara) and Dorian is strong and intense. I don't know if they are going to end up together, but I think that they may. Overall, this was a good solid start to the series that made me want to know more.
But, there were a few things that didn't work so well. The book was a little slow to get into, mostly because there is a little too much telling rather than showing and it slows the pace down before things get going. My other issue was that I really couldn't get my head around the way that Zara's aunt dealt with her. Here's a woman in her early twenties and she's being treated as though she's a teenager and a young teenager at that. I just can't believe that anyone would put up with that. I get the while your under my roof idea, but it takes it to the extreme. I can only assume that she's in some way involved in what's going on? Maybe it will be explained in a future book and make sense, I don't know.
I did enjoy this book and I'd be keen to read the next one to get to the bottom of what's going on.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I liked the opening of Enthrallment by Meg Evans, but by chapter two, I knew this was going to be an interesting book. I want to know more about Zara and her background. The chemistry between her and Dorian is enjoyable even though it’s dangerous.

The story was good. The only thing I didn’t like was how long it took Zara to get the truth out of Dorian. I feel like it could have happened a little sooner, but maybe it didn’t because of how dependent she became on him. The writing is done well and the characters are fully formed. I have an emotional response to their actions. There are a lot of unanswered questions I have about Dorian’s background and Zara’s family. I hope some of the mysteries will be answered in the next book, and I’m looking forward to reading it.

I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley and am leaving my honest review voluntarily. I will be adding this review to my website EveHallows.com.

For those of you out there that love twilight, especially Edward Cullen, this will blow your socks off! It’s original and so much unique. But it has the note of danger that goes with Edward, only darker. The only reason I’m taking off one star is it moved slower than I liked and could’ve given us more answer than it did by the end. Some say cliffhanger but I thought it ended on a good enough note it wasn’t a big cliffhanger. When I say it moves slow it’s not necessarily slow, but slow with answers I wanted at at least half way. I love the build up of suspense but enough is enough. But the writing is SO good! It sucks you right in and before you know it, you’re halfway through! I tried finding this author online. There’s no newsletter I could find. Also, I messaged her on FB and never received a response. I’m hoping she’s just busy writing lol. I’m trying to stalk her, in a good way because I would love to know when the next book is out. The characters are complex and mysterious. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
