Guardian Academy #2
Entangled
Alana Avery's life is anything but normal. Not only does she spend most of her time learning how to solve paranormal crimes and murders, but her dead grandpa talks to her telepathically. If that wasn't enough, the Electi want her for an experimental subject.
But when she goes with Jax to a murder scene where a group of fey was killed by a vampire clan, she discovers there might be more to her powers than she originally thought.

This book immediately picks up right where you leave off from the first book. Alana gets to go on a case and solves it immediately. Through this whole mystery it seems like the main focus of the book was Alana making it up to Jax for the whole fiasco with the truth serum and building the sexual tension between them. It ends without any main story plot movement, just loads of speculation - and it ends just when it was about to get good.
Here's what I liked: Ahh ... Thad? There wasn't a lot of book to pick something out in. I feel like I didn't have enough time to like something.
Here's what I didn't like: The mini mystery that was apparently the cause of the book! I felt ripped off.

Better than the first?
Well, I'm a little more interested by the end of this book, but still annoyed by a lot of it. Again, this doesn't feel like a whole book, but the middle of a larger one.
We are on book 2 and we are just finding out that she has some kind of undefined power. No details given by the end. Which brings up one of my biggest annoyances with this series. No explanation of any of the rules of magic/powers/monsters. We are told that she is a "Guardian" but we are never told what that actually is other than that they investigate murders... Why do they do that? Do guardians have any special abilities? They hint at people having abilities, but they never actually confirm them. Why does "investigation" require a magical mark to appear on her body?
Also, this is a minor thing, but annoys me a little... Why are the physical/violent ones called Keepers and the Intellectual ones called Guardians? Doesn't Guardian sound like a more physical job than Keeper? and Keeper/Guardian of WHAT?! Lol
I have a feeling book 3 is going to have a Star Wars moment, but we shall see.

On this particular day of reading, I found myself in a reading slump as nothing I tried could catch my attention as everything just felt so blah. I find one of the authors that I can always count on when I find myself getting sucked into a reading slump is Jessica Sorensen. Entangled is Book #2 in her Guardian Academy series. In this series, we meet Alana whose grandfather has died and told her to hide a dagger. Higher authorities are after the dagger and Alana's grandfather has not only been accused of going rogue but also of murder. Alana doesn't believe her grandfather could have done this, but she's about to realize just how much can we trust those around us and especially those close to us. In this book, Alana finds herself marked with the Electi and then stumbles across a field of dead fae which leads her to watching the battle unfold through one of the deceased, and now only she knows who the killer is. Alana is a mystery as people at the Academy can't put their finger on what she is exactly and currently in this book, she finds herself entangled with Fae magic and DNA yet she's not supposed to. Also, we have this background story of a love triangle forming between Alana and two brothers Dash and Jax - Dash - Mr. Fun and Jax - Mr. Serious. If you are wanting to delve into something different and urban fantasy/ supernatural is your jam, then check out the Guardian Academy series by Jessica Sorensen.

There may be a spy from the Electi at the school. Vivienne is up to something. Dash, Thad and Jax are all working on protecting Alana. Alana is basically bullied by Vivienne. The semi-scientific experiments are carried on by the Electi yet no one knows what those experiments actually are nor what their purpose might be.
Alana finally finds an evil vampire she's been hunting but she turns out to be way more powerful than expected. There could also be a major war between two groups of fey.
I just didn't find this as interesting as the first book.

Good story, but no ending
Book one won't let me review it, so I'll post this warning here. There is no final book? The story stops after book 3 with no answers or resolution. Because of that I cannot give it more stars. However, this was an excellent beginning and I would have loved it if it was complete.

Beyond Entangled by this series....
The continuation of events surrounding Alana's mysterious past, the unfinished business with her dead grandpa, and her growing connection to Jax are definitely keeping me hooked on this series.....

Great.......
Intriguing. Suspenseful. Keeping me guessing who the bad guy is. How will they be defeated. What is she? Can't wait for the next book in the series. Will all the questions be answered?

Short!
For a girl who misses her family, they aren't mentioned in this book. Or whatever is going on with her bff. And Dash is barely in it. Really need to combine all three books together.

It was capturing, I was hooked after the first chapter.
I read it and had to buy book two. It was interesting and mysterious but had some potential romance too.

Loved this little book. And I wanted it to last longer. Now I'm going to be somewhat put off because this series is not finished yet and I don't know when it will be :(

This book went too quick. It was shorter than the first one and left me with too many questions. I still liked it though and will continue.

From the moment I knew I was getting Entangled to review I was excited, I needed a fix of Jax, Alana and Dash
I wasn’t disappointed I love the supernatural/paranormal books and the first part of Guardian Academy was brilliant, this part just as good.
Now this is part 2 and if you haven’t read the first book you need to, before you pick up this book.
The story continues from where we left on in the first book. With Alana and Jax at the Guardian Academy. Their are more plot twist and turns to the plot line. Not only can Alana talk to her dead grandpa but now she has a new power to contend with. This brings out all sorts of issues like the want to kill.
She had no idea what is happening to her but Jax is the one that can calm and reassure her. I love the smell broke sub plot slog their relationship which is gentle simmering away and turning into something more than friends.
We are starting to learn more about the mystery that surrounds Dash and Jax. And starting to understand what is happening with Jayce, who I’m glad we touched base with.
As always I’m left wanting more. Jessica has s way with words that makes me devour a book in one sitting. Everything around me pales into insignificance and I come out of the book in a book haze.
Jessica is one of my all time favourite authors and I one-click every time, I love the fact that I get mesmerised by every genre she writes, this book was fab
4.5 wonderful stars

"Entangled" is a wonderful follow up to the first book in the Guardian Academy series. The story begins right where the previous book ended. Alana has received another cryptic message from her dead grandfather warning her that the Electi are coming for her. So she locks herself in her room and calls on the only person she can think of, Jax. He sounds like he is in the club or on a date but Alana explains her current dilemma. He tells her to stay put until he arrives. Soon, her door is broken by an ogre named Thad and Jax's twin brother Dash.
When Max arrives he and Alana begin to investigate why the Electi are on her tail. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, Alana begins to develop some new and strange powers. While they try to figure out what is going on they grow closer to each other. One thing for sure, Alana is beginning to realize there may be more skeletons in her closest than she ever wanted to know about.
Once again, I enjoyed the mystery and intrigue but was dumbfounded by the lack of action. Alana is always boasting about her mad kick butt skills but we have yet to see it and she is always being rescued by someone. Really?????? That just doesn't add up! Hopefully, book three will help me get a better handle on things.

This book picks up exactly where the first one left off. Alana is still trying to figure out what is going on with her grandfather as well as her cousin Jayse, who seems to be avoiding her. Surely it's not because he is a Keeper and she is now a Guardian? No, there must be more to it than that. And there certainly seems to be, but what? On top of all this, she is also starting to discover more about her abilities, which leads to even more questions of what she is.
We get to meet more characters in this book and more supernatural "types". The relationship between Alana and Jax is developing and I am intrigued to see what will happen here. We also get to learn a bit more about Jax and his twin Dash but lots of things are still left unanswered when it comes to these two and their family, which is delightfully annoying and quite obviously a ploy by the author to keep you coming back for more to find out. I don't mind it though, as like last time, I'm curious to find out what the hell is going on and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Another great read
I love all jessica Sorenson books, I feel in love with the fallen star series and gemma Lucas and everything she endured. Reading this second book in the guardian academy series has made me love everything so much more, and I'm very curious if I have missed a book or two because this is about gemma and Alex's daughter!!! I live the way these characters are so likeable and relatable. This could easily be about peo"
ple I know, minus the vampires and stuff.lol. Jessica really knows how to capture her young audience and make her fans come back again and again
If anyone lives these books like I do then you are already anxiously awaiting the 3rd part of the guardians story, and any other books that relate to the characters!! Thanks so much for writing the way you do, it's been awhilE since I've found a new author that I like so much!! Keep it shining and I'll keep reading!!
