How does a 5-star (in my humble opinion) author bomb with the next in her series? The problem as i see it is that the author, not unlike some other authors, either forgets, or conveniently ignores the fact that their book, is likely NOT the only book a person will read. Case in point, I very much enjoyed "Engulfed", the first book in this series of Maggie Finn. But in-between that book and this one I read 24 other books.
"Entangled" is a jumble of unclear characters which the author relied on readers' memories of book one. It was unclear as to who Maggie is, what she is. This book made nos sense. sometime during the novel it is thrown in that it is Maggie's 60th birthday. Weird. But besides that little fact, Maggie is flaky, behaving like a 20-somthing year old heroine (if you want to call her that). Who allows a complete stranger into her home with tales of her dead husband's ashes needed to be sprinkled at a dolphin park? A stranger knocks on your door and "Oh welcome! Come in." Really? Maggie's phone falls out of a helicopter but suddenly reappears 2 pages later in hand? Maggie blogs specific information then wonders why her where-abouts are known?
This novel is a good example of sloppy writing. It is too bad I really enjoyed the first one.
