Have you ever read a book that you got to the end and wanted to cry….. because it was over?
That was Entrapped.
Barbara Kyle just went straight to my favorite author’s list.
I have never read any of her other novels, but they are on my TBR list now. From looking through her book list, I was surprised to see she typically writes historical novels. I expected the rest of her novels to be modern day too. Lucky me, I love historical settings also.
Entrapped is definitely not your typical romance novel, lots of mystery, lots of action, and very fast. Not short, fast. I could not put it down. I started reading it after taking all the kids to school and just finished it. Work to do? To bad, I had a book I was completely engrossed in. Now it’s done. I’m not bitter, I promise. It’s my own fault for being a fast reader. I’ll never learn how to stretch out an awesome book. When I get into one, I just have to keep going and going and going and going, until I’m done, then I’m sad it’s over.
You fall for the characters, Liv, Tom, Molly, Chris. I especially loved Molly’s interactions with Liv. Kids have this way of knowing what a person is like. I just wanted to scream at Liv, how can you not see the kind of man he is buy looking at his interactions with his daughter.
But, then again, Tom wasn’t perfect. He had his own demons.
Your heart breaks for Tom though, and for his daughter, when you get into his story, why he is doing what he is doing, what exactly happened to his wife.
And the gas problem. I know we need natural gas, I know we need oil, but in this book, Barbara highlights exactly why we need to find other solutions for our energy problems. (No, she doesn’t preach at you, this is definitely a situation that can occur and has occurred.) Along with being sad because I want a sequel now (please? There has to be a way!), it left me wanting to do more to find a way to deal with this problem. Read the book, you’ll see what I mean. You will feel the same way when you hit that 100% mark on your Kindle .
In Entrapped, none of the main players are perfect, all of them make mistakes, big mistakes, but the question is, can they work past those problems (lies, deception, murder, etc) to get back to where they need to be.
