Great book. I enjoyed Reading it. The characters and plot were interesting life like and easy to connect with.

"The Morning Star Entanglement" by Ebonie Wayne is a gripping tale that seamlessly blends elements of mystery, romance, and supernatural intrigue. Set against the backdrop of a charming town, the story unfolds with a sense of anticipation and keeps readers hooked until the very end.

Wayne introduces us to a cast of well-developed characters, each with quirks and secrets. The protagonist's journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns as they navigate the complexities of their personal life and the supernatural mysteries unravelling in the town.

The author's descriptive prose paints a vivid picture of the setting, immersing me in the town's atmospheric charm and the surrounding landscape's eerie beauty. Blending the supernatural elements with the characters' everyday lives adds a layer of excitement and curiosity.

The narrative's pacing is well-executed, with each chapter unveiling new revelations and keeping the reader eagerly turning the pages. Wayne skillfully weaves together various plot threads, creating a tapestry of suspense and romance that captivates the audience.

While the novel incorporates some familiar elements of the mystery and supernatural genres, Wayne introduces fresh perspectives and unexpected elements that set the story apart. "The Morning Star Entanglement" is a compelling read for those who enjoy a mix of mystery, romance, and the otherworldly.

I struggled alot with novel because I felt like there were too many plot holes. The only thing I enjoyed was Fey and her sister Tutu's relationship.

The Morning Star Entanglement is beautifully written debut novel.

In the beginning, I was intrigued to find out why Feyisavo and Tutu's mother was being so secretive in keeping the girls from knowing about their father. The characters are likeable, and the story is easy to follow. However, for me it was a slow read that I couldn't quite fully enjoy.

Thanks to Netgalley and Ebonie Wayne for making this read possible.

I struggled with this book, a lot. Most of the story is told in passive voice with a lot of different point of views on the same page. I had issues with a lot of the family background and how it was effecting the love story.

It also needed more edits and research for some of the settings. (One instance, German authorities consider pepper spray to be a serious weapon and you can't just access like back in the States.) And that's important since a portion of the book takes place in Germany, and the beginning of Fey and Iben's love story. We don't get to see the romance build up, it's just explained. Like a book summary.

I don't like giving independent authors negative reviews. Unfortunately, I had an extremely difficult time believing the story arcs based on the writing style. I considered DNFing the book, but I was curious to see the outcome. Many plot points were easily guessed. And I felt like the antagonist did way too much and never really got the comeuppance deserved. Imagine a six or seven year soap opera run put into 300 pages.

However, I did like some elements. I enjoyed Fey and her sister Tutu's relationship. And Fey and Demi were great. I think active voice in those moments would have created more tension, especially for the explosive secrets that you find out. I did like the time jumps between past and present. I think it worked in establishing what the reader needed to know.

Overall, I'm giving this 2 stars based on the potential and barebones of the story.
