Twisted Two: Return To Travianna
Battling digital monsters was easy. Surviving an egomaniacal gamer is the real challenge for Angella and Sharon, two former humans trapped in a digital world where losing means everything.
For five years, Angella and Sharon have lived quietly inside a digital world, safe from the bodies and lives they left behind.
That safety is shattered when someone on the outside decides that they’re no longer meant to be hidden.
Pulled back into the physical world and forced into a game they don’t control, Angella and Sharon discover that their existence is more dangerous than they ever knew—and that someone is willing to rewrite reality to claim it.
This time, the monsters aren’t digital.
And losing won’t just cost them their freedom.

True-to-Life Fantasy
Even though I had the pleasure of reading J.S. Frankel’s ‘Twisted Two: Return to Travianna’ without the benefit of ‘Twisted’ under my belt, the author brought me up to speed filling in the gaps along the way. His bite-sized backstories never derail the reader from the sequel. Five years later, story-speak, seemed like yesterday.
Charlie Matthews, aka Angella, and his significant other, Sharon, are living, breathing simulations who also interact with the outside world their weak, broken bodies left behind due to a major gaming glitch.
Just as Angella can “read into things” to facilitate overcoming fearsome avatars throughout a powermonger’s rigged seven-level challenge to stay alive, the author sees that the reader delves head-on into life’s affirmations.
For instance, being comfortable in one’s own skin overrides gender.
A diehard Frankel fan who appreciates the author’s parrying for social justice, I highly recommend entering the digitally enhanced world of Travianna.

I’m no stranger to this prolific author’s works! Once again, he offers a fantastic book. Having read Twisted, I was anxious to see what our protagonists would do next. Bigger than life antagonist that define evil with their actions. A must read~and, if you haven’t read Twisted (Part I) grab it, too!
