Entangled



***1/2
PG
{SM}
Could Recommend

This is a compilation of 4 suspense novellas.
Overall, I think I am happy that I read it but I did definitely have feelings about each of them so I will break it down:
Traci Hunter Abramson's was fine...it didn't really grab me but it was fine.  I felt like there was probably too much time spent on the chase scene for my taste but, whatever.
Clair Poulson's was intense and sad...this is where the {Subject Matter} rating came in.  It was kind of violently gruesome and it also dealt with child trafficking.  It was hard to read about but realize it needs to be out in the open so I'm okay with it...I just maybe wouldn't want too young of children reading it.
Gregg Luke's was not what I was expecting in a suspense compilation.  To me, it was more just a sad story.  It really was sad...made me cry :(
Stephanie Black's was right up my alley!  She's the only author in this compilation that I've read before and I have always enjoyed her writing.  Her short story didn't disappoint.  Just enough suspense and intrigue without the blood and gore.
Altogether, I think I could recommend this compilation based on the lack of objectionable elements but I would not recommend it if you don't like sadness :)
