Twisted Perfection
Two years have passed since Marcus and Alison vanished without a trace, leaving a trail of bodies and unanswered questions. Now hidden in the shadows of Havana, they’ve perfected their art of deception—living as respected professionals by day and indulging in their darkest desires by night. But even paradise has its predators.
When a Cuban detective stumbles too close to the truth and an old enemy resurfaces with a vendetta, Marcus and Alison find themselves hunted once more. As blood spills in the streets and alliances are tested, the line between control and chaos blurs.
With the FBI closing in and a storm of betrayal brewing, the past refuses to stay buried. And this time, their twisted love might not be enough to keep them alive.
How far will they go to protect their perfect illusion?

Deandre Kralevic does it AGAIN. 3 Books in a ROW! He nailed it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It’s taken me at least almost a full day to form words to write my review. I still am at a loss as I am writing my review, because there’s SO much I want to say about this book but don’t want to spoil it for anyone.
I will say I went into this book having suspicions of what was going to happen and while some of my suspicions was correct I was still shocked as well because I didn’t see it coming, I was still raging and felt every emotion.
For me, this book showed a different side of Carter. Carter is always one step ahead, meticulous and always tying up any loose ends. This book I felt we saw Carter more vulnerable and even if took a minute or some prying he admitted some emotion and feelings which I never thought we’d see. This book showed that even Carter can be shaken. You also see Carter get extremely protective over Allison.
I highlighted so many quotes reading this…. I’ll share a few below.
“Carter is meticulous. He doesn’t kill for fun or on impulse usually. Every target is chosen carefully, every move detailed, thought out. He’s not just a murderer he’s a predator who enjoys the hunt as much as the kill”
“This time, I’m the one holding the match”
“This wasn’t the face of a savior or a lover. It was the face of a man who played God and walked away unscathed”
All of these quotes stood out to me along with others.
This book you see that Carter has to come to terms with his past, possibly refacing the past he thought he tied up? Can he leave unscathed? Can he out run his past again? Or will a match be struck to ignite a fire and blow it all up!
Deandre Kralevic, You sir are a MASTERMIND, GENIUS! The way you engage your readers from the beginning to the very last page. Never a dull moment. Always on our toes. Always making us feel every emotion possible. You make the words on the page come to life. You will always be an auto buy author for me… You write it, I am reading it! Job well done, sir!
I’ll wrap this up by saying that EPILOGUE…..THAT EPILOGUE!!! Could begin a whole other book in the series or even a spin off because you are that good that you have left me wanting more even with this being the “last” book in the series!
If you know you know that Carter has always been my favorite since Almost Perfect…. But that epilogue….. Long Live The Queen!
I would HIGHLY recommend this book but you must begin from the very beginning and you will not be disappointed.

There is so much I want to say about this book, but I cannot due to spoilers. Twisted Perfection was exactly the right title for this book...
It is a book full of twists that perfectly align Marcus’ control and Alison’s endgame in one story. Marcus is meticulous and methodical in his plans, staying one step ahead of everyone while Alison is loyal to a fault. Karma knows no boundaries though and everything comes full circle in the end.
Will time run out for them? Will there ever be an end to the madness and chaos that Marcus creates? Will they walk away unscathed or will they end up paying the ultimate price? HIGHLY recommend! Long live the Queen!
Favorite Quote: “But trust doesn’t stop bullets.”

Deandre has definitely done it again!!!!! 🎉 I had been given the PRIVILEGE to arc read Twisted Perfection and I am so freaking thankful!!!
OMG!!! I am soooooooo sad that this is the end of the Perfect series but what an amazing series!
The start of the book was absolutely perfect. He managed to pick up right where Almost Perfect left off. After two years Marcus and Allison’s world finally came crashing down. Detective Howard makes his reappearance and not only continues his hunt for Marcus (aka Carter) but does so as an FBI agent. John (book one) is back and back with anger and vengeance. He knows that Marcus had killed his goddaughter and is now out to return the favor. But things don’t go the way they all had hope!
Twisted Perfection has so many twists and turns, there’s so much loyalty between Marcus and Allison. The love is there but the need for vengeance is shoo strong in this book. I absolutely loved this book!!!!! If you haven’t read book 1 and 2 you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TOO !!!!!!

Where do I even start!? There is not one dull moment in this book, I feel like I was watching a spicy action packed movie while I was reading this. I couldn’t stop after the prologue (which was freaking mind blowing), absolutely could not stop thinking about it until I finished. I LOVE Marcus and Alison, they are written to perfection!

Twisted Perfection by @Deandre K Author what can I say? This work of art had me on the edge of my seat from the first chapter through the last page. I was invested and loved every twist, spicy turn, gut wrenching event written. I recommend you get this and get it now! Kuddos Deandre, this was amazing.

DeAndre Kralevic delivers again in Twisted Perfection, the third installment of his addictive series— The story continues to follow two damaged souls whose paths cross in the most unlikely way, bound by secrets, buried pain, and a hunger for something real in a world that constantly feels off-balance.
Carter, usually two steps ahead, feels slightly off his game in this book—and that shift is fascinating. His emotional attachment to Alison starts to cloud his razor-sharp instincts, showing a new, vulnerable side to him that both complicates and deepens their dynamic.
And Alison— she takes center stage. A total badass FMC, Alison doesn’t just hold her own—she shines. By the time you reach the epilogue… let’s just say you’ll be craving more of her. Is it just me, or does Alison deserve her own spinoff?
Kralevic masterfully explores the gray spaces between right and wrong, love and manipulation, survival and self-destruction. He has me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire book!
If you like morally gray/black characters, dark romantic tension, and stories that feel like a psychological maze, Twisted Perfection will pull you in—and won’t let go until the very last page.

This book is gripping, fast-paced, keeps you guessing and fills you with continuous anticipation. This story centers around Carter, a skilled psychiatrist, and the love of his life Alison. They have left the US and has hidden themselves away, escaping the past that is behind them, and made sure that every last string was severed that tied them to the happenings of the beginning of the series. Carter is a calculated, skilled perfectionist who thinks every single last detail out to ensure their freedom. Their past begins to catch up to them and every perfect aspect of his plan begins to unravel. Read this book, heck, get the series, get involved in their lives, mind-manipulations, and twistedness which will leave you wishing the series continued after it ended. This story is the meaning of perfection.

Every twist and turn took my breath away, leaving me eagerly flipping pages, eager to uncover what would happen next.

From the prologue to the epilogue I was engrossed. I don’t know what it was about this book but it will definitely live rent free in my mind forever. I don’t want to give too much but Carter….SIR…You did that. The way you loved Alison was everything. When I tell you that ending had me shook. Like what the hell just happened. Honestly I said that the entire book. I wish I could give this more than five stars. The multiple pov’s was chefs kiss
Alison is my favorite 🧡
I hate this is the finally book in the Perfect Series 😩
