Contorted

Man this was action and pre-action and after-action too!! Lots going on with the teams preparing to rescue Whisper, well at least that’s the plan. There’s an insider giving the guys intel and trying to keep Whisper and Rose safe. Things aren’t going to be easy and more than one punishment will be issued. But this one is hard on Whisper and one can only hope she comes back in one piece. As the series goes on it’s clear to see this author has a grasp of the dark side. Prepare yourself cos it’s about to heat up. We haven’t made it to the end yet but we have hooked up with a few friends from some of the author’s other series and boy oh boy it’s truly a different side of them in the best of ways. All hands are on deck for the mission and it’s not just Whisper they will be freeing if all goes to plan. I love this author’s style and her characters. This is an action filled exciting read so pony up cos it’s about to get wild. . . er.

Contorted is book three in Emma James’ Hells Bastard series, it is highly recommended that you have read books one and two Wrenched and Warped prior to this book. Contorted continues on right where Warped ends.

EDGE
I’ve decided there’s no virtue in patience.
It’s f*cking torture.
And that goes for DM Christmas songs too.

MATHIAS
Good girl.
Be afraid of me.
It will make my job easier.
Until she’s caught between a desk and a Hell’s bastard.

ROSE
I am a shell to be f*cked with.
But I am a survivor.
I have my own Sasha Fierce.
Just give me a reason.

CEZAR
You haven’t seen my bad side yet.
It will leave you speechless.

WHISPER
Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.
Survival has become a waiting game, choreographed by a schedule to keep me complacent.
Mathias and Rose are my constants.
My frenemies.
What happens when Cezar turns the tables?
Just remember to breathe.

I couldn’t put this book down, I read it in a few hours, and now I’m anxiously wanting to finish writing this review so I can move on to Entwined to know what’s going to happen next. It was nonstop action, suspense, thrilling and quick paced from the beginning.

Whisper is being held captive by Cezar Pavel with his Sentinels in a secret location, with no means of an escape. Whisper is trying desperately to hold onto her sanity and hopes of being rescued by Edge, but she is slowly losing the battle, after having experienced something traumatic with Mattias. What she went through with William Dupre for twenty years is nothing compared to what Cezar has install for her.

Everyone is trying to find Whisper but no one knows anything, while Edge brings his brothers from the Soulless Bastards MC to help with the search. Edge is slowly loosing it not knowing where Whisper is and when Boxer comes face to face with him and what he has done to Whisper things are not going to be easy for him.

This book is shrouded in loyalty, mystery, angst, suspense, trust and danger. Told in multiple POV’s we follow all the characters we love, get to meet new characters and characters you hate. Emma James is one very talented author when it comes to telling a story with many voices being told, she keeps it smooth and flowing without any hitches or confusion to the storyline.

Contorted does end on a cliffhanger but not before an explosively synchronised rescue attempt happens to get Whisper back where she belongs with her family and possibly with Edge. Can’t wait to dig into Entwined.
