by Alice Reeds

Entangled Teen
They survived a plane crash.
They survived life on a deserted island.
They survived being hunted.
Now they must survive the truth—they are not who they think they are.
One minute they’re in Poland, subjected to gruesome tests they keep failing. No friends to support them. No family to claim them. No hope of ever living a normal life again.
Then suddenly, they’re trapped on an abandoned freighter in the middle of the ocean and forced to fight for survival. No food. No drinkable water. No way to get home. And strange memories of another life they don’t understand.
But how can they be living two separate lives, trapped in two separate places, at the same time? They’ll have to find the connection and uncover secrets that someone went to great lengths to keep hidden...if they’re going to survive long enough to find out who is behind it all.

My Review:
3.5 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Mystery, Romance, Suspense, Teen--
I had no idea how this story would play out after how Echoes ended- keep in mind that this is the second book in the series and it HAS to be read in order. I found it really interesting that the author switched perspectives in this sequel. In the first book, Echoes, the story is narrated by Fiona but in Fractures, the story is completely told through Miles' eyes. I was thrown a little off by the twist, uncertain how I felt about the change when the story started. I did like getting to know Miles and how sweet and determined he was, but I missed seeing into Fiona's mind. It would have been just about perfect to have the narration switch between both characters but that might have made the book even more complicated.
The story again switches between two different plot lines, one where the two characters are rescued from the island they were trapped on in the first book and a second time line where the island never happened and the two characters are on a freighter in the middle of some random water source trying to figure out why. The reader gets to piece together what is going on, how everything fits together, and what is real. The suspense and the tension was great, building as the story progressed and keeping me guessing how everything would play out. This series has been a completely unique ride, unlike anything I have read before, full of deception, danger, manipulation and overall love and the pursuit of truth.
Overall, the ending to the series wrapped up nicely with no loose ends- and it even had a very nice, feel good, sweet romantic moment I really appreciated. This has been quite the journey for Miles and Fiona- a dangerous, twisty, action packed ride that surprised me in so many ways. This is the perfect read to jump into if you are a fan of YA Thrillers with a touch of romance and psychological manipulation.
