Title: Twisted Devotion
Series: Twisted Series #4
Author: Jessi Elliott
Genre: NA/Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romance
Release Date: April 21, 2020
Being responsible for the survival of someone you loathe really dwindles all hope for a fresh start.
Kelsey Young is ready to leave Rockdale—and the darkest parts of her life—in the past. After barely escaping the massacre of her foster family and taking down the evil behind The Experiment, she wants nothing more than to relocate and start over.
That is, until the fae leaders offer a reward too good to refuse, derailing her plans in the process. Kelsey agrees to put her future on hold to protect an arrogant creature with far too much charisma for his—or her—own good.
While she’s no stranger to the rumors of Jackson Hawthorne, she is new to his charm. And soon, she finds it nearly impossible to resist—especially when he makes no effort to hide his blatant desire for her.
Tensions run high as Jackson’s well-being is threatened by angry fae and humans alike with a mission to destroy his business—and him.
But temptations run even higher after Kelsey swears to safeguard his life—even on the days she wants to kill him herself. And what about his heart—or hers? When they find common ground in new territory, lines blur, defenses crumble, and devotion begins to outweigh duty.
Review
SPOILER FREE
I have to be honest, I didn't really remember Kelsey in the previous installments and I barely remembered Jackson but it's been awhile since I've read those books. However, I grew to like and care about these characters the more I read about them.
I enjoyed how the author wove the previous main characters of the series into this book and we got a glimpse of how life is for them afterwards while still focusing on Kelsey and Jax. That was nicely written. Most times, I find that readers barely see those characters again or get like a scene with them and that's it.
The pacing, store, and romance all flowed seamlessly together. As in the previous books, I had no trouble flying through the pages. The writing is clear and I always enjoy the banter between the leads. As my personal preference, I liked this book more than the 3rd in the series but I preferred the 1st and 2nd book more but this is still a good sequel and would recommend picking it up if you enjoyed the series so far.
The one thing that bothered me was that Kelsey was hired as a body guard but I thought there would be more of a need for her to protect Jax. We get only one instance. To be honest, it seemed like Kelsey needed more protection (even though she could take care of herself) than Jax as her past seemed to find her. She seemed to be in more danger than him which kind of made me laugh as I kept waiting for him to get himself in danger.
The conclusion was predictable for me but I liked it all the same. The end felt abrupt to me. I would have liked a little more detail at the end of what happened to the characters and what they decided to do or where to go at the end. Overall, a nice, enjoyable read and you should pick it up if you like contemporary romance with a side of paranormal.
