Twisted by Elisabeth NaughtonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
TWISTED is book #7 in the Eternal Guardians series, a paranormal romance series, with a twist of Greek mythology, which features seven warriors, descended from the greatest heroes in all of ancient Greece.
Nick, who we first met in Marked, book #1 in the series, has always been an interesting character and we finally get his story and a chance to find out what he’s all about.
Leader of the half-breeds known as Misos, who live in the human world and outcasts from the Argolean realm, he has always put others before himself, never given recognition for the many sacrifices he has made and he’s paying dearly for the courage and selflessness he showed to save the life of Isadora, his twin brother, Demetrius’s wife, who he has been struggling to get over the fact that she’s also his soul mate.
Held prisoner by Zagreus, son of the lord of the Underworld, Hades, he spends months being tortured until he breaks so that he can come into his true god powers, which Zagreus needs to enable him to free himself from his father.
Zagreus mistress of pain, Cynna is in charge of his torture and abuse.
Cynna sold her soul to the devil, Zagreus in order to avenge the deaths of her family but has come to realize that the price was nothing like she had expected.
Cynna starts to feel something for Nick and tries to help him during his torture. He also sees something different inside her……
She decides to escape from Zagreus and takes Nick with her. When wounded during their escape, she asks him to leave her but Nick feels that there’s something about her that balances him.
I liked seeing these two playing each other off. Though Cynna, whilst I could sympathize with her and what she had been through since the death of her parents and the bad decisions she had made, I became a bit irritated with the way she acted during her escape and when she’s taken by Nick to Argolea. At times I wondered if she was the right person for Nick.
This was a rather dark and a bit twisted romance. It was also had totally unexpected and unpredictable revelations!!!! Talk about surprises!!!!
