Entangled



Some people hear the word sociopath and conjure up the image of a psychopathic killer, but sociopaths do not kill the body. They are killers of souls. With narcissistic tendencies that drive them to do whatever they please, Sociopaths lack a sense of moral responsibility and have no conscience. The definition doesn’t come close to what lurks beneath the surface. I learned this the hard way. I got entangled with one. It’s still hard to believe that the person I loved never really existed. He was a ghost, a man without a soul.

Zari L. Ballard Review

 A page-turning depiction of life w/ a narcissistic abuser... June 23, 2015

As the author of When Love Is a Lie and other books about narcissism in relationships, I have to say that the author of "Entangled" has hit it out of the park in her description of victims of narcissist abuse (like myself), the relationship between Natalie and Daniel is, unfortunately, interchangeable with each of our own ..from the initial love-bombing to the push/pull manipulation tactics that quickly follow, to the managing down of our expectations so that we'll accept mere crumbs of attention, to the passive-aggressive BULLS*** conducted via The Cell Phone Game that strings us along day after day, to the triangulation and inevitable breaking down of our spirit over a "love" that we can't even justify to ourselves let alone to anyone else! Yup, it's all here and it makes for a great read.
Since only those who have been subjected to this type of weird, manipulative abuse will ever understand it or be able to write about it, I know that this author was speaking from an experience that certainly was far from fictional. I say "Bravo" to her ability to capture our experience with such precision and with all of the emotion intact. Thank you for a great read!

 A Good Read! May 20, 2014

As the author of THE SECRET LIFE OF CAPTAIN X: MY LIFE WITH A PSYCHOPATH PILOT I read Entangled while researching for my book, looking for other victims. Ms. Monroe tells her compelling memoir about her involvement with a person with an antisocial personality disorder. She does it well. Involvement with these people can happen to anyone. Unfortunately it happened to both of us. A good read.

Czudar Review

I just finished this book. I could not put it down. The author really helped me understand the meaning of a sociopath and narcissist. I was so happy to know that there is a second part (disentangled) which I bought right after finishing the first book. This is a must read.

Volk Review

Though this is a story geared more toward female readers, men will find interest in it too--a look at a dysfunctional relationship from the distaff side. Some of the situations will frustrate and make you angry, others will evoke sympathy, but the tale will pull you along until you reach its inevitable conclusion. Based on true events, Ms. Monroe weaves a cautionary tale that will inform as well as entertain. When you think about it, what more can you ask from a book?

Disturbing, Yet Extremely Compelling Read!By Passage Maker

In a word (or three words) "OMG"! I hope to see this in the theater someday, and I hope that they can find a male actor that can adequately portray the loathing, manipulative, lying antagonist called "Daniel" - I am sure to despise him on screen as much as I do now in print! I could not put this book down; reading it on my Kindle in less than a day.

Compelling read. Entertaining and informativeBy Gary R Calhoun

Anyone who has ever been emotionally manipulated and/or abused should read this book! "Entangled" pulls female and male readers along a real life dream we all have, to find true love with our "soul mate". Prepare to be frustrated and angry with Natalie's actions and inability to say N-O, at the same time feel sympathy for her decisions, driven by her multitude of motivations, love, money, jealousy and more. Her emotions all become entangled in her attempts trying to make this doomed relationship with a Sociopath work. If you've ever been dissuaded or manipulated by a so called loving partner on their own agenda, you can identify.
A roller coaster ride. The heights of our desires for love and affection to depths of despair from betrayal of trust and deceit of affection.
Entangled would make a great LIFETIME MOVIE!
