When I
read the synopsis of ‘Blood Entwines’ I was immediately fascinated. This book
sounded really exciting so I soon signed up for the blog tour and I started
reading a view days ago.

In ‘Blood Entwines’ we meet Kara. Kara has had a rough time lately. Her dad died
and now she is just alone with her stepmother. One day Kara is involved in a
car accident and she almost doesn’t survive. Luckily for Kara a blood
transfusion saves her life. But ever since that transfusion everything is
changed. Kara feels different and acts differently. When Kara meets Jack, a stranger
who stalks Kara since coming out of the hospital she finds out that he knows
exactly what is wrong with her. But Jack doesn’t want anything to do with Kara,
he just wants back what is his.

From the
beginning of this book I was compelled by this story. I really wanted to know
what was the deal with this blood transfusion and what role Jack would have in
this story. I just really didn’t want to stop reading. I really enjoyed
Caroline Healy’s writing style. Especially the way we meet the different characters
in the beginning. I enjoyed reading about the characters and their different
lives. And this book really was original. I never read a book about this kind
of thing.

What I
found frustrating about this book was the way it was just a little confusing
sometimes. In the beginning of the book you read a lot about Ben and Ashleigh.
But somehow at the ending of the book their story was just not relevant in my
opinion. I just didn’t really get what their role was in this book. What I also
found a little distracting was the way you don’t understand what is going on
for the main part of this book. The author leaves you to guess for yourself a
lot and that bothered me a little. There isn’t a lot explained in this book and
now my mind just won’t stop thinking about what could have happened.

But
overall I found this a very enjoyable story. I found Kara a likable character
and I could relate to her on some points. This book was easy to read and it
definitely kept me interested. I wonder what will happen next to Kara?!!
