Dec 1st - Dec 8th
Survival
(Twisted Book 1)
With intertwining memories and a world
of deceit and betrayal yet to be exposed, Survival, book #1 in the Twisted
series, is an intense, compelling page-turner, seen through the eyes of Skye
'the Skillet' Jones.
A mother. A father. Two daughters and a son. A happy suburban family of five.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
An alcoholic mother. An absent father.
Abandonment. A family ripped apart.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Oliver. Beautiful Oliver. My twin brother, my protector.
Fighting. Freedom. Death.
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Cut Throat Curtis. My fire and ice. My light and shade. My pleasure and pain.
He taught me to fight; to control emotional turmoil with physical distraction.
He had pain of his own, secrets he would never reveal, and I should have known
it would only be a matter of time until he left, becoming a ghost in a life I
no longer knew.
Tick-tock, Tick-tock.
Thomas. My magic. My fairy-tale. The man who promised the happy ever after I’d
never dared to dream of. My prince. My lover. My everything and more.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
But fate was waiting, as always. The merciless force of kismet watched over me,
biding its time, waiting to strike; to plunge me into the depths of defeat and
leave me with no choice but to succumb.
It was coming, the twist of fate that would bring me to my knees. It was up to
me, Skye the Skillet, to decide whether to bow down and surrender to its will,
or fight back, to fight for what I had left.
To fight for my survival…
Revival
(Twisted Book 2)
With explosive suspense and dark
sensuality, Revival, book #2 in the Twisted series, is a passionate, riveting
tale of power, conflict and dangerous desire, told by Cut Throat Curtis Mason.
I was a failure. An orphan. A quitter. A heartbreaker. A screw-up. A criminal.
A monster.
The life I was imprisoned in was the life I deserved.
Beep, beep, beep.
Ollie’s death shredded my tenacity, chipped away at my confidence and stole the
will to fight out from under me. When the toxic worthlessness swimming through my
veins made me reject the only girl I’d ever loved, she took the rest of my life
with her.
Beep, beep, beep.
Alone, away from home and emotionally desolate, I was propelled into a life of
greed, control and crime when fate played a hand and forced mine into the
clutches of Charlie Alexander Tattersell. My vixen. My poison. My villainous
addiction.
Beep, beep, beep.
I fought for and against the life that held me captive, but one painful
reminder returned to haunt me.
I was the only one who knew the truth.
Skye’s truth. My love. My driving force. My life’s obsession.
Beep, beep, beep.
After enlisting the help of my protégé, Jesse ‘the Gentleman’ Kennedy, the
mission began.
I had to find answers, retribution and the spark that would release me from the
claws of the abyss and bring me one step closer to the Skillet.
Beep, beep, beep.
With new secrets waiting around every corner, a vicious Charlie waiting to bury
me and the haunting memories of every mistake I’d ever made hanging over me, I
missed one vital clue.
The key to my revival…
Thrive
(Twisted Book 3)
With everything at stake and nothing
to lose, Skye Jones and 'Cut-throat' Curtis Mason are reunited in the fight of
their lives - once and for all. It's time to face the demons of the past and
the present; to reclaim the powerful, passionate connection that brought them
together; and overcome the forces that would tear them apart. It's time to
expose - and destroy - the web of lies, deceit and betrayal woven by those
around them to hold them captive, to keep them silent, isolated and alone.
The time has come.
There is no time to fight for survival.
There is no time to beg for revival.
There is no other option. There is no choice.
What happens now?
It’s time to Thrive…

Survival
As the first installment in author Rebecca Sherwin's Twisted series, Survival certainly lives up to its name.
Skye Jones and her twin brother Oliver have an awful home life and it's just a matter of time before they can save enough money to get away. When tragedy hits and throws a kink in those plans, Skye turns to "Cut Throat" Curtis for solace.
The storyline is packed with high energy, complete with cage fighting. It's a story about losing everything, not once, but repeatedly. It leaves the reader wondering how much more Skye can take.
Full of passion and angst combined with plenty of smoking hot action, the first installment goes down to the wire and drops a bomb that can only occur when soulmates become united.
This is not a neat and tidy story full of hugs and kisses. It's about two people who are separated, trying to make their way as two halves in a world made up of wholes.
Revival
Told from the perspective of "Cut Throat" Curtis, the second installment of Rebecca Sherwin's Twisted series provides a more detailed look at some of the events highlighted in the first story.
Revival delves deeply into Curtis' past, and there's plenty of darkness to go along with this installment. Not only is his girlfriend truly wicked, but his sense of regret underscores his decisions. Trapped in a world of deceit, it's only a matter of time before Curtis and Skye once again cross paths.
All of the elements are present to make this story connect smoothly with the first one, although there was some overlap given that some of the same scenes were played out from a different perspective.
While I found the first part to be better than the second, the cliffhanger ending guaranteed a desire to know what happens next.
Thrive
As family secrets are brought to life, the third installment of the Twisted series, Thrive, is all about facing demons.
Evil truly comes to the forefront, with plenty of drama and angst. The author skillfully links the pieces together, providing the reader with a solid storyline.
In the midst of the turmoil and manipulation, Skye and Curtis focus on clearing out the cobwebs. Both characters remain solid throughout the series. Skye's sense of vulnerability serves well in contrast to Curtis and his determination.
It's a series that needs to be read in sequence in order to fully understand the characters and the plot.
The author teases of another installment on the horizon. Perhaps there will be a greater focus on the fighting aspect. Regardless, I found this to be a series that very much lived up to its name.
