This book is one of those books that courageously tackles real life situations. It doesn't sugar coat life; it lets you see the trials and obstacles you'll really have to face, either alone or with someone dear to you. It tells you that every choice has a consequence, make it good or bad. Not a lot of books today has the courage to do this. Some do use such topics in their plots but fail to really pull you in or make you realize things.
I empathized with the characters and they were wonderful characters! I felt like I have read the book at the right time, just when I needed to see things in a different perspective. It won't push you to believe in some morals or the like. It will help you realize.
This is a brilliant work by this author! I recommend this book for those who have questions about life and whether the choice they are to make is going to help them become better or not or if sacrifices are needed. I feel that this needs to be read not only by adults but by young adults as well.

When speaking of virtues you think of righteousness, purity and morality. These are things that one should try to exhibit in their daily lives but what happens when your virtues are twisted? Should you try to correct yourself or do you just continue on with the way things are going? What if you feel that what you are doing or how you are acting is morally correct?
Tobias and Sheyla Marchand are blessed. They both have good paying jobs that allow them to live the kind of lifestyle that anyone else would envy. Certain situations occur within Tobias's career and now they are forced to make some changes that will help the family to maintain their current lifestyle. Will these changes bring the family closer or will it push the family apart? What can be done to make this transition easier or will this just be the Marchand family status quo?
Levi Kennett is a very successful business man. He owns several properties among other business ventures. Levi has been trying to find himself practically all of his life but how will Levi's life change upon meeting a random stranger? Is it time for Levi to start a new chapter or will he continue on the path that he is already travelling?
Twisted Virtues is a book about decisions and circumstances. You learn about six degrees of separation because the characters lives are crossing and they aren't even realizing it. The way that the chapters are set up they give you total insight to the characters and you won't get lost or confused. They characters and their place in the book is clear. I enjoyed reading this book by Shaw and I look forward to reading more in the future. Twisted Virtues: Complicated Matters is available on Amazon.com in both Kindle and paperback.

Awesome! This book has a fantastic plot that continues to pull the reader in as the story unfolds. It follows a variety of characters as they experience the ups and downs that life brings their way. The author does a wonderful job bringing each character and situation to life, making this a one of a kind read! The moral depth and author's ability to write about very real situations sets this book apart from others. I can't wait for the next book in the series and to see what happens next.
