Librarian's note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B00FQZSBNC.
I can't outrun my past...
Moving in with my brother was supposed to change my life and bring a little light to my darkness. But I soon learn I can't ignore the very thing that haunts my nightmares. I still take a blade to my skin as often as I did before, punishing myself in ways that no one will ever understand. I am desperate to keep my secrets.
I meet Cole, and he's the perfect distraction. He's wild and reckless. He's fun to be around and doesn't ask questions about my past. He accepts me as I am, scarred and twisted. But Cole is possessive and controlling. There's something not right with him, but I can't walk away.
Then there is Noah, my brother's housemate. He's deaf, but he doesn't let it control or defeat him. He's strong and resilient. Everything I'm not. How do I lie to someone who can't hear my voice but can read everything in between? When he looks at me, I feel like he sees me like no one else has. His eyes ask questions that no one else has bothered to ask. My gut tells me to trust him with my secrets, but when Cole drags me into a deadly situation, it's just one more secret to hold on to. If anyone finds out...
How can I find redemption when I'm well past the point of forgiveness?

Amazing
Wow. I can't even explain how great this book is. It's so real, so honest and heartbreaking. Watching Blayre go through the things she does and seeing she feels she deserves it is so heartbreaking. There are times i wanted to scream at her for what she's doing. She knows Cole is bad for her and she knows he's dragging her down but she honestly feels she deserves it. My goodness this book is AMAZING!

Mesmerized by Twisted
Yes, I was mesmerized by Twisted because who isn't drawn to watching a train wreck. You know it's awful, but something draws you to it. Blayre, the main character has an opportunity to avoid the train wreck. There are so many red flags and blinking lights to warn her of impending danger, but she seems to relish any opportunity for the broken path. This is such a realistic story of how so many good people trade real living for a twisted version of reality. Blayre trades real life for drugs, sex, and self mutilation and you just find yourself wanting to help her.

I liked Matthews' writing, the character development, strong secondary characters. But Blayre has zero backbone and makes zero good choices. I have run out of patience waiting for her to show some sense of self preservation and won't be reading the sequel.
