Review: Not Bad, Not Great
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 5, 2013
"Twisted" is considered a suspense-romance novel. It's definitely full of suspense, and as for the romance, it's there, but not as much as one would hope for. Speaking of plot, while I found the synopsis to be intriguing, I thought all the subplots that were tied in together dragged out a little too long. Regardless, the author delivers a well-developed suspenseful story with a slew of characters, keeping the readers guessing right up to the end. While this is the goal, I thought the author made it a little too obvious as to who all the secondary villains were. As for the "Commander" - the top-guy that everyone reported and referred to - it wasn't too hard to figure out who that was two-thirds into the novel.As for the two protagonists at the heart of the story, Lucy and Ethan, both are likeable and well-developed. While they worked well together in solving the murders, I didn't feel any heat or chemistry between them whatsoever, not even when they had sex the one time. Like I mentioned earlier, the romance plays a minor role in the overall story.While I may not have been thoroughly amazed with "Twisted," I'm sure this novel will appeal to many other readers.
