I can't believe I'm going to admit this... I loved the book and fell in love with AN ALIEN SPIDER! But at the same time, it's normal since Ketahn is more human than many humans in real life and love interests in other books of different genres. It may also be because I have been introduced to the world of monster romance in the last year and have become an ardent fan of the genre. In conclusion, excellent storytelling is accompanied by an original and creative world, a perfect amount of spice at the right moments and lovable characters with ideal chemistry.

I did not expect to love this as much as I did. The relationship development? Amazing. The world building? Amazing. The plot? Intriguing.

Honestly, I’m obsessed with Ivy and Ketahn’s relationship. He is so soft with her and provides for her in every way - food, clothing, shelter, and protection. What more could you want?! He also teaches her how to survive in The Tangle and I loved those scenes. The way they learned each other’s language and mannerisms... ugh!! So cute!! 

Ensnared is definitely great for fans of Ice Planet Barbarians, and (imo) this has better world building and relationship development. But fair warning, the sex scenes happen veeeery far into the book so don’t expect it to be as horny as IPB.

I really loved this and I can’t wait for the next book! I have so many questions and I need them answered ASAP!!

Pleasantly surprised by this read, perfect for lovers of Ice Planet Barbarians. Authors did not sacrifice world-building or plot for the romance, which was pretty sweet especially considering one of them was a “spider man.” This is the first of a series, so expect to be left on a lurch!

4.0

I was not expecting to like this as much as I did.  Over the last year I have really started to read unapologetically.  For the first 30-35% or so, I had the roughest time connecting to this book, I had to keep going back to the cover to envision Ketahn’s physicality and the worldbuilding was confusing for a bit.  The writing was really well done, the descriptions were great.  There is a bit of the standard hands exploring with dubious consent and some forcible mating.  Not SA, but moreso “You are my mate now” type situation.  Ivy’s journey through this book was an interesting interpretation of how someone would handle waking up on a new planet with a person-thing you can’t understand.  Her acceptance of her attraction to Ketahn and her new life was delightful.  

I didn’t love the cliffhanger ending, and I will read the next book and hold off judgment until I can see how it wraps up; trilogies aren’t usually my favorite things.

the relationship between Ketahn and Ivy does have a bit of dubious consent due to a language barrier and the difference of body types. It does end quickly and is eventually cleared up once they start learning each other's languages.
