To the world, I no longer exist.The life I live occurs outside the third dimension—a memory, a ghost, the boogeyman, or perhaps simply a figment of the imagination.When I’m passed on the street, there is no connection.No eye contact.I’m the one whose presence leaves a cold chill of uncertainty, quickly erased by minds who don’t want to acknowledge that men like me exist.On the dark web, I’m known … exist.
On the dark web, I’m known as Kader, and for the right price, I will do what others can’t or won’t.
I’ve learned to exist within the hard shell I’ve created—until I see her.
Laurel Carlson.
Her blue eyes see beyond my impenetrable exterior.
Her sensual lips long to be kissed and her hidden curves caressed.
My mind is obsessed and my body ignited.
Though I exist outside her comfort zone, I must enter her world, take the chance, and learn what it is about this beautiful, intelligent, and marked woman that has me entranced—before her time is up.

Did I mention dominant Alpha? Well, Kader. That’s all you need to know
Definitly a must read. But prepare your self, cause no one or nothing is what it’s seems and beware who you trust in Twisted
Aleatha Roming does it again with a well crafted, suspenseful read in Twisted. This story had me turning pages quickly because it was so gripping. It was fast paced, with intriguing side characters that you didn’t know who could be trusted.
Her main characters, Laurel and Kader, are drawn to each other in ways neither can explain but that are hinted at in their backstories. Laurel feels so confident that Kader is there to keep her safe. In fact, I thought the same until the very last sentence. This is a book you won’t put down and when it ends you’ll be craving the next installment. I for one can’t wait.
What a book!!! I purposely read this book slowly thinking I could read Aleatha’s mind. That wasn’t successful. This book had me from the beginning, all the TWIST and turns and then you reach the ending and scream…And Kader, he’s so mysterious and all alpha and I cant wait to learn more about him.
The Tangled Web Series is no doubt going to be another exceptional Trilogy from Aleatha Romig.
Twisted was a terrific start, A beautiful doctor, working to change the world, a handsome stranger with a dark past, someone out to destroy , a murder, a mystery to solve and a twist I didn’t see coming!
Can’t wait to see what comes next!
It will pull you in. Laurel is a bookish scientist out to cure the world of a serious disorder when in stepped Kader…dark and domineering from the shadows . Is he there to help her or hurt her…or maybe make her fantasies come true? Does she know him? What’s really going on? Argh! It’s a cliff hanger ! Love it. True Romig!
Mmmmm there is something about this book that feels different to Aleatha usual dark writing but in a good way. I can’t describe it but it also feels like there is going to be a darkness than Insidious had.
I don’t know why I’m doing comparisons as there have never been two books the same.
I took my time with this, two days instead of one but it was worth it. Mainly from the view point of Laurel you know there is a story about Kader and it will come in the next wonderful instalment. The characters are well written and the back story of Kader is going to hit us hard and I feel a truly emotional roller coaster ride coming our way.
The plot and story is setting the scene for what is to come and I feel it is going to be a white knuckle ride.
I already love Kader, Laurel I feel has more depth and secrets than we currently know and I need the next book ….NOW.

This might actually be my shortest review to date!! Not because I didn’t like this story, I LOVED it!!! It’s just that I can’t talk about anything from the book.
Twisted is the first book in Aleatha’s newest trilogy…Tangled Web Trilogy. I thought it set up the storyline perfectly. I loved the characters that are introduced in this story. I can’t wait to see where she takes them. I am sure it will be one heck of a rollercoaster ride.
The title of the book is spot on when it comes to this storyline. It is TWISTED. I don’t know if I would truly list this as a dark romance, but it definitely isn’t a light and fluffy story. This book had me scratching my head and I still am after reading this book. I don’t have a clue where Aleatha is taking this story.
One thing I will say about the book, is that is it NOT a standalone novel. It does end on a pretty brutal cliffhanger. I was screaming WHAT when I finished. I NEED the second book NOW!! So if cliffhangers aren’t your thing, you will want to wait until all the books are released. But make no mistake this is a trilogy you will want to add to your TBR list NOW!!!
Every Aleatha book I have read, just gets better and better. She is the queen of the mysterious and twisted story. I can never figure out where her stories are going and I absolutely LOVE that. I am captivated and intrigued all the way through. Her books are always a quick read for me because I can’t put them down. They also live in my head until I get my hands on the next one. Twisted was no different!!
Add this book to your list now. If you haven’t read anything by Aleatha Romig, you are missing out. You need to enter her world of writing. Trust me you won’t want to leave once you start!!!
Twisted is the start of a suspense filled, dark romance that I quite enjoyed. I loved the dynamic between Kader and Laurel and the beauty and beast-ish as well as the nerd/jock vibes the story gave off. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and cannot wait to read the next rest of the series. I recommend to those who love dark romance with suspense.

Ohh this is good.
I really enjoyed this book. It’s the first book in the Tangled Web series. From the very beginning the story have me hooked. I like Kader character straight away he was sexy and very mysterious. No one really knows who he is or what he does. The lil parts that we got from him doesn’t tell us much but I liked that in a way. So I’m looking forward to getting to more from him and after the way this ended in dying to know more.
Doctor Laurel is a good character to. But very different she lives for her work and is great at it. But her job has just gotten very range and she isn’t dealing very well. Her whole life is getting turned upside down. She doesn’t know what right or wrong or who is good or bad. I do feel sorry for her but she is this gorgeous mysterious guy looking out for her so it can’t be to bad right.
Like I said I was sucked into this story straight the drama goin on this book was crazy. Every page I turned something would happen. Both characters have me dying to know more about them and how there going to deal with what’s happening. There are so many questions that need answering. I would highly recommend this book. The story is actions packed there isn’t much romance but there is a lot of sexual tension between the two main characters throughout the whole book. I really am dying for more of this series.
4.5 stars–TWISTED is the first instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult TANGLED WEB dark, romantic, psychological, suspense trilogy. This is scientist Dr. Laurel Carlson, and assassin for hire Kader’s story line. The Tangled Web series is set in the same world as the author’s WEB OF SIN trilogy but you do not have to have read the original series to understand or follow Tangled Web.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Laurel and Kader) TWISTED focuses on a scientific discovery that more than one player is desperate to obtain. Dr. Laurel Carlson, and her associates find themselves the center of attention a university fund-raiser, a fund –raiser that is more than Laurel could have imagined. From promises of millions to the missing and murdered TWISTED follows Laurel Carlson as her world begins to implode. Imprisoned by a man who has threatened her life, Laurel will start to imagine a scenario where her kidnapper is her only chance for survival. What ensues is the abduction and confinement of our story line heroine, a confinement that may be her only safety net in a world that is spiralling out of control. Unable to trust the man with whom she is currently in hiding, Laurel will begin to discover that not all is right in her corner of the world. As we learn more about Laurel’s current housemate, his secrets are slowly unravelling one memory at a time.
TWISTED is a dark romance; a psychological thriller that focuses on the world of medical research and the suspicious acts of problematic organizations. Aleatha Romig pulls the reader into a story of suspense and mystery; of betrayal and vengeance; of questionable circumstances, and the inability to trust. The premise is intriguing and raw; the characters are powerful and edgy; the $ex scenes are dramatic and intense.
This books grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. There is mystery and intrigue upon mystery and intrigue and a relationship between Kader and Laurel unfolds amongst chaos and confusion. It is gripping and I had to read it in one day and now I have to wait, but I know it will be worth it.
Ok, this is a bit different story format that I have read of Aleatha’s. Same goes for the plot and characters. Laurel does seem a bit quarky due to her background and Kader is the exact opposite. There’s so much buildup with the story line trying to figure out whats going on that by the end of the book (cliffhanger), it actually went by fast. I’m going to need the next book.
Wow what a ride. Twisted is book 1 of the series and it is so Twisted. It is intriguing, suspenseful, sexy and definitely a page turner. I’m so looking forward to learning more about Kader, he’s damaged and intriguing. Laurel is so trusting of everyone, should she be trusting Kader? Can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
Where do I even begin after reading a book like Twisted?! Twisted has me twisted in the best possible way!!
Laurel is a scientist on the verge of a major break through that could change people’s lives for the better. However, not everyone is happy about this medical miracle and will stop at nothing to make sure it gets out of her hands. Who can she trust?
Kader is a man of mystery! One I can not wait to find more about. He has me so intrigued! Is he going to help Laurel or does he have an agenda of his own? Can she truly trust him?
Who are the victims and who are the enemies?! I have been Aleatha’d many, MANY, times before so I never trust any characters in her books! My mind is spinning with the possibilities of where this story is going to go.
One thing I know for sure is that they are explosive together! Whether Laurel is standing her ground against Kader’s demands or their sexual chemistry, it’s a bomb waiting to combust!
Go get Twisted and get ready to have your mind blown! I will now count down the days until we can get Obsessed!
Twisted is the first book in the amazing new Tangled Web series by Aleatha Romig. I was sucked in right from the start. This book grabbed me and didn’t let go. I love Kader and can’t wait to find out more of his back story. There are so many levels of twists and turns that they will keep you guessing throughout the whole book. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was going to happen next, yet when I got to the end I was desperately looking for more! I can’t wait for Obsessed!! Have you been Aleatha’d? I sure have!
Kader is a hunter, hired for an assignment he wouldn’t usually take but he made an exception…because of her, Laurel. He doesn’t know her or so he thinks but is drawn to her. “I’m the man who’s going to ensure you live to see the rest of today” Dr. Laurel Carlson is a brilliant doctor in pharmacology. While attending a fundraiser for research on a new drug she was creating she felt someone watching her. A Mystery Man of sorts that she felt drawn to and yet scared of at the same time. Who was he and what did he want? When her new drug formula is wanted by many, it could cause more danger to her than she ever thought possible. This is set in the same underworld as Secrets but you do not need to read the Web of Sin trilogy to read this new trilogy. This is a twisted, romantic suspense that you never truly know who you can trust. Told in dual POV and ends in a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the next book to see what happens.
So I had a little trouble getting into this book. Laurel is a genius, but as with most genius’ lacks common sense. A lot of the research talk was over my head, but the gist was clear. Kader is a man captured by this woman with no clear reason as to why, the minute her file hit his desk he was a goner. Laurel blindly puts her life into this man’s hands, clearly as attached to him as he is to her.
I love her books. I can’t put them down. She writes a wonderful mix of suspense and steamy, dark romance. These characters, Kader and Laurel, couldn’t be more opposite, each with secrets. Needless to say, I am on to the next book in the series.
Normally I don’t like cliffhangers but I’m definitely going to have to read Obsessed and Bound In order to see what happens with Laurel and find out what happened to Kader in his past life. I didn’t want to put this down.
3.5
Well written. Little mystery, not sure who to trust with her research, h finds herself “kidnapped” and feels an attraction/connection to her captor. Continues in book 2.
