Twisted Secrets
My whole life, there had only been one rule. Don’t go to Chicago. It always made me feel like a damsel in distress, trapped in a tower. But my life was filled with kings and queens and the most noble knights and I didn’t need another fairytale.
I needed a bad boy.
Brye McCowan was just that. He was smooth, and seductive. Dark, dangerous and downright drool worthy too. I saw trouble swirling around him in place of a shadow. He was my one rule personified.
And I couldn't stop myself from kissing him.
Which was right about the time that whole fairytale thing kicked back in. Only this time I wasn’t surrounded by heroes. These were the villains, wicked and vengeful. And Brye was one of them. When all was said and done, when all the blood was spilled, the only thing more tormenting than the dungeon he threw me in was knowing it was my family’s twisted secrets that put me there.
***this book can be read as a complete stand-alone or following either the Twisted Fairy Tale duet or A Twisted Love Story***

So color me surprised, but I pretty much loved this one. I mean, it shouldn't have been such a big surprise as I quite like this author's writing, But the last book I read in this series was full on with cheating and other people sex scenes, and lately, I haven't been in the right frame of mind for that type of story. However, this turned out to be quite low on the other women drama especially considering the plot.
The writing was excellent. It was well paced. The plot was engaging and quite dark. There is drug use. Rape. Abuse. Murder. It was told in a dual POV format and took me around four hours to finish. It honestly wasn't all that spicy, and this couple doesn't have intercourse until very close to the end of the book. It was reasonably angsty. There was a little other woman action that the hero takes part in when he is high, but it was mild and didn't overly bother me. There is also a a bit of forced F/F action. A little other man drama as well in regards to the heroine being touched sexually against her will.
There was an excellent cast of secondary characters. I loved seeing Cole, Elle, and Horse, and Conrad again. We also have some baddies thrown into the mix. One character I would love to read more about is Deirdre. Both of the main characters were enjoyable. Although I struggled with both at different points. Some of Brye's actions were unforgivable to me, and I struggled to believe Filly would have forgiven him so quickly. I also found Filly to be a bit...well...stupid at times. Most especially in regards to her going to Chicago in the first place. Last, it was all wrapped up in a sweet ending for the main couple. That said, I felt like there could be more to be told concerning the chaos that Brye left in Chicago. So I guess we will see...

***AVAILABLE NOW ***
I LOVE THIS WORLD. GOING BACK TO IT WAS LIKE COMING HOME TO MY DARK & DEPRAVED FAMILY.
One of the aspects that I love most about Ace's writing is the dichotomy of her characters. All of them, even the good ones, have elements of bad to their characters. Everything in her world is a shade of grey. What made me love Brye most of all, though, is his fight to be good. His arduous journey to be worthy of his heroine and to overcome the path that has been laid before him.
Filly is seemingly innocent and naive, and she learns quickly what the world is truly like when she returns to the crime ridden world her family left. She maintains her light even in the darkest times and this pulls our hero out of the depths of darkness.
Like most of Ace's books, it is well written, provocative, sexy, bold. I love this entire world, her writing, and these characters. I will read anything she writes.

Holy hell, this book WAS everything you have been warned about!!!!! Ok, let me back up....so this is my first read by this author, yeah I know I started late. I have the first two books on my kindle but yet THIS book was screaming at me so ya I just had to read it. Believe it or not, I am dying now to go back and read the first two books, I mean I need to know how this story began for sure!
Ok, first off the writing alone was superb, worthy of way more than 5 Stars hands down. The writing itself just drew me in completely, mesmerized me, gave me the feels, so much so I truly felt like I was living the story right beside them, it was so damn "real"! I mean this author totally captivated and held me spellbound from the very first word until the very last word, just hauntingly beautiful!
Ok, so for Brye and Filly, OMG, these two, I can barely contain my love for them. Was it an easy read, NO, was it difficult at times, HELL YES, and were there a few scenes that normally would have pissed me right off and maybe even turned me off, yes BUT they were totally necessary and I mean these particular scenes HAD to have happened in order to make this story "believable"!
I absolutely loved this twisted and very disturbing story. It was truly a DARK, TWISTED and DISTURBING romance but gosh, it had my heart beating furiously one minute in fear and then next in utter love for these characters!
Loved it in a warped nutshell! Just brilliant........ "mic drop"

So I’ve been waiting for this book for awhile and when I started it, I just wasn’t sure... the beginning had me feeling deja vu quite a bit. I didn’t know how it would play out, but it ended up being totally great. Ace’s words slay me every damn time. So poetic and magical and just... I don’t know... They make me feel all the things. I loved the connection between Filly and Brye despite their insane circumstances. Brye is a dick, but he came through for me in the end. Maybe not as much as Filly did- that girl is classic Ryan gold! Ace knows how to kick ass with the grand finales. So much suspense! Gah!! I loved this story so much! Definitely start at the beginning with Twisted Fate. If you like dark romance, this series is TOP NOTCH!!!

More time spent with my favourite Twisted Family?
Yes please.
Except this time we get a super sexy, dark and twisted hero in the form of Brye.
This book has all of Ace Gray’s trademark poetic lines. It has the dark plot line, the depravity and the shocking twists.
But it’s also full of beautiful kind of love. A connection between two characters that seeps from the pages.
Another fantastic read.
Five stars

Ya know, I was a bit nervous to start this book. The Twisted books are a few of my favorite and I just wasn’t sure where the author would take us on this journey.
I mean, could I love anyone more than my beloved Cole?
Would Ace ever even get close to pulling feelings out of me that she did with Cole and Elles story?
Well, hell yes she did.
The Twisted theme was defiantly present but it seemed totally different to me.
Twisted Fate and Twisted Death were pure Mafia where Twisted Secrets had such a poetic vibe. Although I worried what was to come, it was painted with such beautiful brush stokes.
Now don’t get me wrong, you still the mafia grit but the underling current of this felt.......smooth.
Brye and Filly had a connection that sang to me in all the right ways.
Brye was bad. Plain and simple. Raised by the worst and tried with everything in him to live up to his fathers wicked ways. I loved that he remained the bad guy throughout most of the story. I wanted to like him but he destroyed every chance he got. He. Was. Delicious!
Filly was just like a mini Elle. She was raised better and out of the knowledge that the underground world really existed, she had her mothers loving, courageous heart. Tough enough to survive the Chicago streets!
I do believe her best trait was her love of art. To see the good in the bad and the beautiful in the ugly. If only we could all be more like Filly. #swoon
Ok so the wrap up- I was impressed. It’s another five star read from my Ace. Go check out all the deliciousness that is Twisted!
Happy Reading Peeps,

4.5 stars. I received an ARC of this story for an honest review. It's my first by this author but definitely will not be my last. I know it's an ARC and is still going through some edits, but I couldn't give this one 5 stars due to the grammatical errors. A lot of missing, incorrect and misspelled words as well as tense switching, which did pull me out of the story quite a few times. But the actual story had me hooked. The chemistry between Brye and Filly was beyond combustible, and their pull was palpable. I haven't read a book that made me cry in a LONG time, but this one made me cry, smile, cringe and really just feel everything the characters were feeling. If you're into dark and twisted reads, I highly recommend this! And I will definitely be going back to read Elle and Cole's story as well as Horse and Conrad's.
July 8, 2018
Wow. This story is another great look into the Twisted life. This time we get a look into the dark side. Into the mind of Brye.
I was really excited to read this book. All the teasers were making this story seem darker then the first 3 books. And let me tell you it didn’t disappoint. You get a view of someone who is stuck in the dark more then Cole and Horse were.
This story is another reason to believe there is light at the end of a dark tunnel. Never lose hope.

Twisted Secrets is the fourth book in Ace Gray’s twisted world and it…was…wonderful! Before reading the book, I will admit that I was hooked. I had to meet Filly, the daughter of Cole and Elle, ‘niece’ to Horse and Conrad—all characters that were introduced in the previous books; and all characters that I fell in love with in some way or another. Filly is more her mother with a bit of her father, and with a dash of some of her uncles’ foresight and personality. I loved learning about their little family unit and the art and culture that she was raised around. In comes Brye, our mafia prince with a seemingly dead heart. No one in my eyes will ever live up to Horse, but damn if Brye doesn’t come close. He is death and debauchery epitomized. He knows nothing else, and he was made to hate the Ryans—Filly’s family. His first encounter with Filly surprises the shit out of him because there’s something else there he doesn’t understand. They share an immediate connection over art, and beauty in the ugliness. But their story is anything but your typical girl meets boy happily ever after. Twisted Secrets once again is full of the dark and tormented fantastical hot as hell poetry that Ace Gray does so, so well. Bravo Ace. 5 stars for Twisted Secrets.

This is NOT a hearts and flowers loves story. Oh hell no. It's TWISTED. Great title by the way....
I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when a friend told me I HAD TO READ THIS! And man, I'm glad I did! I would say this book was definitely on the dark side, tough at times to get through, and definitely mind bending with it's twists and turns and HOLY FUCK moments! It kept me turning the pages. I loved the characters, each were so freaking memorable. Well, there is one motherfucker I hated. You'll see what I mean. Get ready to rage.
There were so many times, I had to cover my eyes, felt sick to my stomach and screamed at what was happening on the page. I even had to pause several times because I couldn't believe what the hell I was witnessing. BUT, DAMN. DAMN! What a ride! I adored Brye and Filly's love journey. I LOVE these two together. They had to overcome so much! I will definitely be reading more from Ace Gray. TWISTED SECRETS can be read as a standalone, and this is the first book I've read from Ace Gray. I'd love to find out more about Filly's family, so I'll be circling back to the previous books.

My whole life, there had only been one rule. Don’t go to Chicago. It always made me feel like a damsel in distress, trapped in a tower. But my life was filled with kings and queens and the most noble knights and I didn’t need another fairytale.
I needed a bad boy.
Brye McCowan was just that. He was smooth, and seductive. Dark, dangerous and downright drool worthy too. I saw trouble swirling around him in place of a shadow. He was my one rule personified.
And I couldn't stop myself from kissing him.
Which was right about the time that whole fairytale thing kicked back in. Only this time I wasn’t surrounded by heroes. These were the villains, wicked and vengeful. And Brye was one of them. When all was said and done, when all the blood was spilled, the only thing more tormenting than the dungeon he threw me in was knowing it was my family’s twisted secrets that put me there.

As innocent children, we all seem to want and maybe even need the fairy tale and its happily ever after, hiding behind rose colored glasses and believing that good always prevails thwarting any attempt for the villain to win.
But the real world is not a fairy tale…it’s not a place with only beautiful and angelic beings because perfection is impossible and the contradictory actions and feelings of love and hate, beauty and ugliness, and healing and destruction are the true reality of the world regardless of how sheltered and shielded parents try to keep their children, especially when they know firsthand what malice, mayhem, and savagery exists in the world because they were a part of it in the past.
The sins of the father…
Brye McCowan lives his life according to that dictate; in fact, as the heir to his father’s ‘unholy throne,’ Brye revels in the mayhem, in the duplicity, in the savagery, and in the hedonistic pleasure that he takes without warning. He’s a soulless murderer thanks to his father’s iron fist and the vacancy in his eyes was placed and created by a monster whose controlling and manipulative ways forced a boy to become a man hellbent on becoming darkness personified in order to survive in this dangerous and deadly world that he never had a choice but to join.
Filly Ryan knows nothing of her father or her mother’s sins; in fact, they have done everything they can to not allow their past to infect their daughter’s present, but in doing so, their sins wreak even more havoc than they would have if her parents would have been honest and shared the reasons behind their insistence that she remain out of Chicago. But regardless of their shielding, she learns firsthand exactly who her mother and father were when she was faced with a monster who made it his mission to share her parents’ misdeeds in exquisite detail, shattering Filly’s world in one hellish and depraved night that never seemed to end her heartbreak or her feeling of loss.
How do an angel and a demon…a saint and a sinner…a heroine and a villain find a connection that they seem willing to risk EVERYTHING for, despite the depravity and torture that the innocent had to endure? It’s not an easy question to answer nor is it a simple storyline to read, but it’s a concrete representation of the darkness that invades the world and what occurs when a naive girl learns a truth she never wanted to but now can never forget.
Wow! Ace Gray DOES NOT take it easy on her readers, but I would expect nothing less from a story where monsters are out in the open and are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their depraved selves in full view of the chaos they create, and while it’s difficult to witness what Filly must go through due to her curiosity and her pull towards Brye, a man she knows nothing about, the woman who Filly becomes because of her experiences at the hands of the McCowans is one who now understands life’s paradoxical contrasts and that enlightenment allows her to survive…allows her to understand and even forgive her parents’ past and a future that may be nothing like she thought it would be but it’s one she chooses nonetheless.
I adore dark romances, especially ones that twist in unexpected ways and Ace Gray’s Twisted Secrets is that kind of story. Gray constructs a duplicitous and deadly world with dynamic characters who change and grow as truths are uncovered and they find ways to face life’s ugliness even when they want to give up.
Do horror stories have happy endings? I can’t really say because one person’s happiness is another person’s nightmare. But what I do know is that Brye and Filly’s story ends in the only way it can, providing them a choice - one that will determine just how far they’re willing to go for themselves and each other.

The first thing I have to say is...if you have any triggers, are sensitive or just do not appreciate the dark romance world then this book is definately not for you!
Secondly, 5 stars is not enough!!!
Ace Gray has absolutely smashed this book. It is part of a series and you should definitely read the others first to fully understand the story. Also, why wouldn't you want to read them all, they are awesome.
Even though we have lived on the Twisted world before, this time it was so different. Brye is so different from Cole and Horse and in so much of a darker world than they ever could have been. It was hard at times to see what he and Filly were going through but it made the story all the more beautiful to me.
Filly was so different than what I was expecting, she was all sunshine and flowers but craved the darkness that she didn't even know was in her life. The way she sees people and the world has completely changed how I now view these things. An artists perspective is a great perspective to view the world from. It was also a very unique experience to view the book from an artists perspective, it gave the book so much more.
Don't be deceived by what I have said though, this world was dark and gritty with pieces of beautiful sprinkled in. Reading this story was intense, soul-wrenching and had my heart bleeding right from the start. The emotions were overwhelming at times but I wouldn't change that for the world, even when I had said emotions leaking out of my eyeballs. I don't think that there are really enough words to describe how much I really loved this book.
This is y honest and unbiased review.

Just when I thought Horse had stolen my heart, Brye McCowan just comes in sweeps it away.
Twisted Secrets is a sexy tale about Brye McCowan and the beautiful Ryan herself, Filly. A beautiful bombshell who blew Brye's world apart. It's dangerous and dark, and incredibly addictive.
With a mixture of her mother and father, Filly was always going to be different from everybody else. Her character was innocent, but strong, strong enough to deal with the Demons that Brye held from his life. Her story was worth telling, and I ate it all completely.
What can I say about Brye? Only that the author creates the most perfect alpha bad boy: dark, dangerous, brooding and irresistible. Brye is all those words inbetween, with a little hint of sensitive and broken. I could feel the power and tension between these two, and their story was beautiful in its own way.
This novel was incredible. I felt this huge ball of energy and excitement when reading this story, and feeling almost all the characters’ emotions. It was nice to see a glimpse into the Ryans' future; to put it more plainly, it was freaking incredible!
Twisted Secrets deserves more than five stars. If I could give them, I would, but I can't. What I can say is that I would recommend this book for everybody to read... Well those who can handle it 😉.
Twisted Secrets is a sexy tale about Brye McCowan and the beautiful Ryan herself, Filly. A beautiful bombshell who blew Brye's world apart. It's dangerous and dark, and incredibly addictive.
With a mixture of her mother and father, Filly was always going to be different from everybody else. Her character was innocent, but strong, strong enough to deal with the Demons that Brye held from his life. Her story was worth telling, and I ate it all completely.

5 DARK TWISTED SECRETS STARS!! OMG....I loved being in this dark twisted world. Brye and Filly's story had so many feels, dark, sexy, craziness and love. These two had chemistry that steamed my kindle up. This was my first book by Ace Gray and I can't wait to read more of her words. If you love dark twisted stories make sure you 1-click this book.

I’ve just popped my Ace Gray cherry reading Twisted Secrets! This author has been on my radar for awhile and I’ve had the book Twisted Fate, the first book in Gray’s Twisted Fairy Tale series sitting unread on my kindle for quite some time now, but it kept getting lost in my TBR pile because that pile is freaking MASSIVE and once a book goes in that pile, the chances of it being found again are slim.
Problems of a bookwhore.
But I digress…
When I was offered the chance to read an ARC of this book, the only thing I saw was the cover and was like, “Sign me the fuck up please.”
I didn’t even read the blurb because I LOVE this book cover. Maybe if I had read the blurb, I would’ve known that this book is a spin-off of the Twisted Fairy Tale series, but it can definitely be read as a standalone. I didn’t have any problems immersing myself in this sinister world full of sin, debauchery and corruption that Ace Gray has created.
Filly is the daughter of Cole and Elle (the hero and heroine in the previous series) and throughout her entire life, the number one rule she’s been told to obey is: DO NOT GO TO CHICAGO. Once she’s old enough to spread her wings and venture out into the world on her own, what does she do? Goes to Chicago.
Because curiosity killed the cat.
Upon Filly’s adventures in Chicago, she meets and falls for sexy and mysterious Brye. Little do they both know, is that Filly is the daughter of the enemy to Brye’s father, who is the mafia crime boss of Chicago. Brye’s father is out for revenge and Filly is caught in the crosshairs, but will Brye put his life on the line to save her or will he follow in his father’s footsteps and do what needs to be done to eliminate the threat?
"Brye wasn’t an angel. He was a god. He just hadn’t decided whether to rule over Heaven or Hell."
Lies, secrets and deception make up this dark and twisted love story. Filly is a bit naive, sheltered and naturally curious in character. And Brye is the epitome of a true bad boy. In the beginning, I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to like his character, but he pulled his shit together by the end and had me swooning for him.
Even though I received an unedited ARC of this book and had quite a few spelling and grammatical errors that I had to sort through, I really enjoyed it and it definitely has me wanting to read the previous series to find out where it all began. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author and I’m glad I finally pulled the plug and read her books. Ace Gray is one to put on your radar.

I am so grateful I received and ARC of Twisted Secrets.
I have read the others in the Twisted series so I knew what I was getting myself into and once again Ace blew me away. Horse’s story, book 3 - A Twisted Love Story, I think will always remain my favourite, however this was a true competitor and came in second.
In Twisted Secret we are still getting that dark and twisted romance we have come to love but with a little less bloodshed.
Brye has been brought up with power and privilege. Pain and death are second nature to him. He takes whatever he wishes however and whenever he wants.
We see the struggles he faces between what his head and heart want.
Filly has traveled the world with her family who loves her more than anything but they have sheltered her to the truth of who they were/are causing her to rebel a little.
These two find themselves falling but in a very forbidden and unconventional way. Will Filly be able to handle all that is thrown at her? Will Brye stand up and take action when it counts?
Honestly I feel that Ace just keeps getting stronger and stronger in her ability to write. She pulls you into a story like this and just hooks you. Her talent is never ending.
Another 5 star read from Ace!

I really liked this book. It was not was I was expecting at first. The author wrote this story so well. I could not stop reading. I wanted to know what would happen to Byre and Filly. I loved how they met. I love that it was art that brought them together.
Its pretty obvious who Filly is and how she is about to have her world turned upside down after meeting Byre. Filly is in the one place her parents told her to never go but didn´t give her a reason. Byre is the son of pretty much the devil himself. They run the streets of Chicago. Byre knows there is one person that his father wants revenge on from 20 years ago. Someone who tried to kill him but failed. Is it coincidence or fate that bring Byre and Filly together? I loved all the comparisons to Romeo and Juliet. It really was two rival families children meeting falling in love and choosing that love over everything else. I always had a bad feeling about Emmett. The way he would backtalk to Byre. Its definitely a dark romance. More dark than I expected but it was a really great interesting read. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a dark romance. I also can´t wait to read the rest of this series.

I was torn in the first chapter or 2 on how I felt about this book. I was reading a story that clearly started before this one, but as I kept reading the earlier stuff was pushed aside. Author Ace Gray built one dark yet loving world that sucked me in. There’s talk of fairytales and magic in this story but I’m not sure how magical it is or this character just likes the idea of it. However It’s a dark mind-screwed world not painted in pink but in blood red. My god, what a deep picture this author paints! I love it. Without giving away anything I’ll just say It’s not a cliffhanger.
This star rating isn’t including typos or edits, I did have an early copy so any dialogue lines issues or edit I saw I assumed were fixed.

5 "Filly Bean" ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Filly is all grown up and ready to spread her wings. She only has one rule set by her parents, don't enter Chicago. But does she listen?, well you'll have to read it to find out. And ohhhhhhhhhhhh my you won't be disappointed. One word, BRYE. Filly wanted a bad boy and by God does she get one. Complete with monsters and a twist that I loved. I LOVED the supporting characters, Deirdre was unexpected. And we have all the old gang back together!!!!!!!!. This was my favourite by far. It wrapped everything up for me. Perfectly. I forgot how much Horse and Conrad made me laugh. Comedic timing.

You know those hearts and flowers books that are all swoony and lovie dovie and you’re like all emoji heart eyes over? Yeah, this is not that book.
If you like dark, crazy, heart-pumping-anxiety that has you somewhat questioning your morals, this one’s for you.
PS. Ace Gray, you scare the s*%t out of me with your writing but I wouldn’t want it any-other-way.
5 ‘A chuisle mo chroi’ stars!

Dark and delicious. That’s the only way to describe the beginnings of Twisted Secrets. But that’s not all it is. It’s about two people who under no circumstances should meet or fall in love. They are complete opposites or so it seems. I fell in love with Brye immediately even with his rough exterior and penchant for depravity there is a light desperately trying to surface. Filly is sunshine with a curious mind and slightly naive. Their story is a series of contrasts - an ever changing picture between good and evil, right or wrong. There’s sex and violence but tenderness too. It’s a page turner and I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more.

2nd time through- this story is as beautiful as it is tragic and dark. I absolutely loved it all over again.
“Losing you would kill me.” My hands roved back to his scars, raised and rugged and wonderful beneath my fingertips. “Loving you might too."
While I enjoyed the Twisted the universe of Cole, Elle and Horse, I loved the story of Filly and Brye! Loved it! Filly starts out as a sweet, innocent 21yo that has seen the world through her artistic parents eyes but has never been told about their darkness. Brye has been raised in darkness and tries to escape it through art. They have a connection even before they know who they are to each other- mortal enemies. When Brye’s Father finds out he kidnaps her and holds her prisoner while Brye does everything in his power to keep her alive and unharmed.
While there is still savagery and death in this book is is also a lot more light and understanding as Filly helps Brye find his heart again. I really enjoyed this book.

If you’re into dark romance with the hottest sex, read this author. Whenever I need a pick me up, she’s my go-to for a fast high.
When I found out Ace Grey was writing Filly’s story, it shot up to the top of my most anticipated reads for 2018. I fell in love with the Twisted world last year and am always eager for more. She graciously and flawlessly created another marvelous standalone in this deliciously dark series. I’m so freaking crazy over all of these characters!
Filly has been sheltered and kept away from her parents’ sorid history with the mafia. She isn’t sure why Chicago is like a foul curse but it’s not enough to keep her away. She discovers all the secrets pretty damn fast.
Brye is the ultimate bad boy in an expensive suit. He’s grown up in the mafia trenches and understands what it takes to survive. He’s cold and calculating, but there’s a tiny part that hasn’t been complete snuffed out.
When their paths cross, fireworks explode in the sky as sparks erupt along their skin. These two were destined to be together but doomed from the start. No good can come from ultimate enemies. There’s so much depth to this book, the layers more complex than an onion. Each time I thought there was a solution, another jagged edge would snag and everything went back to square one.
I love getting lost in amazing books and Ace Gray has given me another brilliant novel to obsess over. Her style is exceptional and executed to perfection. She was meant to write dark romance and it’s obvious with every new release. I can’t wait for what’s next!

Two underworld families with no love lost between them...but both families have secrets to be revealed. The MacCowan family are ruthless and dark, their lives revolve around drugs, sex and money. Brye is the son of the head of the family and will be next to step up. However being a part of an underworld family brings many uncertainties. He meets her at an art gallery, his dark world is splashed with colour. Her passion for art is intriguing and he has never met someone like her before. However he can’t entertain the thought of having her in his dark world she couldn’t belong with him.
The Ryan family have been travelling through Europe. They’ve exposed their daughter Filly to all of the magnificent art and museums. She has been sheltered and looks at all the things in life as if it was a pierce of art. Everything is dissected into light, shade, colours and brushstrokes. She wants to study in the US, the only stipulation is to stay clear of Chicago. As soon as you tell a child not to do or go somewhere...they do the opposite.

Good God!! It's been a while since I've finished a book within a couple of hours. It was so good. I could barely find the words to write the review. I swear to you. I didn't even put it down to go to the bathroom. I would take the book with me everywhere I went. I had to know what was going to happen between our main characters. There was so much to them and their story. It was hard not to be 100% invested. There were secrets and lies and so much chemistry. With the way this book was written I am kind of upset I didn't find this author before. You bet your a$$ I will be seeing what else they have written. - By Vanessa

Be warned this is a very dark book, this author does warn you that it is and she is absolutely correct. However, I have to admit she adds another depth to the darkness, an element where lightness tries valiantly to peak through.
Filly Ryan defies her parents and travels to Chicago to see the Art museums and especially her mother’s art pieces. As she is perusing some art she catches the eye of one Brye MacCowan. This leads to the start of a total nightmare!
If you think you’ve read a dark book think again because this story is darkness personified but it works. Yes, there is the Romeo/ Juliet theme running through it but it is so much more. I have to say this wasn’t a quick read for me, it wasn’t hard to read necessarily but at times it felt very heavy, as I’m sure it was meant to.
Each character is described and build up bit by bit until we have a very clear image, even the evil ones. We are given vivid insights into what makes them tick and turn them on too. The setting descriptors are also quite vivid and when the author is knee deep in the world of art you almost feel like a spectator viewing the masterpiece as well.
This is definitely a book that I will need to digest and think more about, so really value for money in my opinion!

I was given an advanced readers copy of this book and have decided to leave a voluntary honest review. I didn't think anyone could hold a candle to cole and Elle love, but I know a couple who came really close. Brye and Filly are definitely like Romeo and Juliette. They love is tragic but it's also real. It heals, it breaks it destroys. The bond the connection these to have its crazy costuming. This book was great from start to end. Some scenes I will admit made my stomach wrench its not all pretty. But it's there story. And damn is it ever a good one.

The way that this author can write stories that should totally gut you with the violence but instead shows you the beauty in the darkness truly astounds me. I fell in love again, with the characters, the story, the triumph and seeing that we truly have no control over who we love because it truly falls in fate's hands.
This author is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

*I received an advanced copy of this book and have chosen to review it.*
This book is my first time reading Ace Gray. It’s listed as a standalone, but I felt like I was playing catch up because I hadn’t read the other books that took place in the Twisted universe. I was really interested in the storyline after reading the synopsis, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped. I felt confused at times, like I had started watching a movie in the middle of it. I also had some difficulty wrapping my head around the way the MacCowan’s live their life (even though it fascinated me). Once again, I think that has to do with me not having read the other books in the series. I’m holding out hope that I will enjoy this book more because there were things that I liked in the story. I liked seeing the strength that Filly displayed when she was exposed to the MacCowan’s lifestyle. I also appreciated Brye’s vulnerability when he was with Filly. Both MCs displayed a fierceness and a sensitivity that was sometimes surprising because of their backgrounds and how different their families were. Overall, this was just an okay read for me, it didn’t quit have the oomph that I thought it would. I plan to go back and read the other books in this series, then I’ll reread Twisted Secrets to see if that I will enjoy it more.
