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.

A romance that gives new meaning to twisted in every way, but what a steamy way to go!
Didn’t have this one figured out right away and it kept my attention.
Love all her books. Suspenseful, dark , sexy. Grabs you from the start with intrigue and characters with mystery that keeps you enthralled to the end.
I ENJOYED THE PUSH AND PULL OF THE UNDERLYING EMOTIONS. TO ME THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT UNSEEN BUT INSTINCTUAL MEMORY ON BOTH SIDES. I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT IF I’M RIGHT.
i love aIl her books
This book is the first in a three book series that leaves you hanging at the end. I have to admit I didn’t like this, but it’s Aleatha. What can I say? Waiting for the next installment was torture, but they were released fairly quickly, so there’s that.
I thought this was one of Ms. Romig’s best characterizations. The multi-layered Kader/Mason was phenomenal. You only get a glimpse of his inner story in Book 1, but with each book the layers go deeper until his full character comes to fruition. The plot was typical Romig, with all its twists and turns.
If you love dark romance, don’t miss this series. They’re all out now, so you’ll skip the torturous wait!
Yes!! Another fabulous, intense and exciting rude from the unflagging and talented pen of Aleatha Romig! Characters are established quickly and effectively. Kader; intriguing, intense, enigmatic. Laurel; dedicated, focussed, innocent. Add nefarious intent and a race for a formula and you have a read which strides along confidently and with great pace. Absolutely fabulous and that end!!!!!!
Dove into Twisted now that all books have been released in this series. Make sure you start with this one and work your way through the Tangled Web books. This one will leave you with one heck of a cliffy! No worries there, as the other 2 books are out.
Really enjoyed reading this one. We start off with Kader who is a mysterious man to say the least. He is working a ‘job’ and his target is Laurel Carlson.
There are twist and turns in this beginning book, yet I still felt like I had a hard time figuring out what was going on. I’m positive though with the next two books, things will all come into perfect view. True Aleatha’d style!!!
The puzzle pieces are laid out on the coffee table just waiting to be put together. Some are the edges that we got a glimpse of in this book and some are the jagged pieces that will lock together once I read the next two books.
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Whoa! And… I thought the Web of Sin trilogy was intriguing! Well,Twisted is the first book in the Tangled Web trilogy which is set in the same dark underworld as the Web of Sin trilogy. So… I was not surprised that I found myself engrossed into this suspenseful and mysterious dark underworld that Aleatha Romig’s characters live in. I was totally taken in from the get go. With its fast pace and intriguing characters, the story kept me wondering what’s going to happen next?!? Just like in the Web of Sin trilogy, those twists and turns in this first installment kept me gasping for more!
Twisted is another dark and delicious dark romance that intertwined suspense, mystery, danger, and intrigue which kept my heart racing and wanting more! Like any other book, to each their own. But, I think, fans of sexy dark romances would enjoy Aleatha’s books.
Yes! I have been Aleatha’d!
Reviewer: Jasmine
This book was amazing!!! Has you on the edge of your seat through the entirety of the book. I have such a book hangover I’m jumping right into the next one!!! Aleatha, girl….you did it again!! I don’t know how you do it but keep it up!!! A must read!
I’ve read this book twice now. Absolutely incredible. The suspense, the mystery. The HEAT. I highly recommend. Kader is my favorite type of antihero. I can’t get enough!
Great book, steamy storyline kept me turning the pages.
Twisted is certainly an accurate title for this incredible book because that’s exactly the way it left me feeling… in a good way! The darkness of Kader. The innocence of Laurel. The fear he caused. The hope she brings.
Another 5 star read by Aleatha. Can’t wait to see what Obsession brings!
Aleatha Romig did it again with Twisted. I’m completely sucked in and in desperate need of answers. Kader is a mystery all by himself with teases by the author of his past. The actual storyline has me scratching my head as to who, what and why??? And the ending, OMG…. Sexy, hot, erotic and Mysterious.
After reading Twisted it was a well written book and I enjoyed the characters, it kinda reminds me of something else I have already read. But it’s a good story and I do like Aleatha’s write.
A new series from Aleatha! It’s set in the Secrets world but you don’t have to read those first at all. I’d say this is romantic suspense and it keeps you hooked! Book 2 is already out and I can tell you this is worth reading 100%! I lost sleep one night because I had to finish it!
This story had me hooked from the start. It felt like a really steamy romantic suspense more than a romance novel, and I think that’s why I liked it so much. The plot is slowly unfolding and we are just starting to get a feel for the characters. Kader is a mystery to me. I can’t tell if he’s the good guy or the bad guy. And with Laurel, I think she might just be in over her head. Some of her choices were definitely questionable, but resistance is futile when it comes to Aleatha’s men. Twisted is the perfect title to this story because it is full of them. It ends on a major cliff hanger, so it is NOT in any way a stand alone. I have to say, I’m really liking the suspense side of Aleatha. She has a way with words that hooks you from the first page and makes you keep reading until your eyes burn. I love it and I can’t wait to see how this twisted tale unfolds!
Twisted is book one of the Tangled Web trilogy. Set in Chicago’s underworld that was introduced in the Web of Sin trilogy, Twisted starts out on a more complex and technical note.
We are introduced to Dr. Laurel Carlson. She is beautiful, confident and extremely intelligent. Working together with Dr. Russell Cartwright on a life changing compound.
“Laurel was beauty, intellect, and a sweet naïveté all wrapped in the perfect soft package.”
Her world is altered in a moment and nothing is as it seems. So many questions, so little answers. Mystery and suspense are layered with a huge dose of sexy AF – otherwise known as Kader. Is he Laurel’s savior or demise…
“This man was a storm on the verge of something bigger.”
Kader is sinfully sexy, dominant, powerful and dangerous. His back story is slowly unfolding and I can’t wait to learn more! He came to Laurel on a mission. She WAS the mission. And the last line of the book – WOW (no spoilers). Their lives have now become twisted in trust, lust, truths and missions.
Once again Aleatha Romig has woven a story full of intrigue and suspense that is soaked in darkness. The complex characters will have you guessing! Twisted lays the groundwork for what is to come as the story continues in Obsessed. On a side note – this is one HOT story! I would say don’t-wear-any-panties HOT!
“It’s my job”
“What is?”
“Determining people’s destiny. Like yours, for instance.”
You do not have to read the Web of Sin trilogy to enjoy Twisted.
4.5 stars

I’ve been missing this!
Felt guilty because of the pressure of reviewing on time
and not giving it justice because of my mood these past days.
But I trust Aleatha and she gives us so much more!
Once I’ve started I forgot I was tired, forgot my problems.
In every story of hers there’s intrigue and mysterious thoughts evolve between the characters and me. It makes me/you turn page after page.
But Aleatha’d or not it’s worth it.
New dark romance, tangled web series.
Very interesting and refreshing theme and plot twists. Can’t wait to get my hears on the audio.
Almost 5 stars from this ARC reader.
This was my first Aleatha Romig’s book, and won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Tangled Web trilogy. This is a great, complex, and emotional Dark Romance! The story is fast-paced, action packed, and suspenseful. Laurel and Kader are great characters. They share a sizzling chemistry. Kader is a dark and intriguing character. The storyline is intriguing and mysterious, filled with danger and twists and turns. Charlotte North, and Jacob Morgan did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Now, I can’t wait for the next book in the Series, Obsessed.
