The world Megan James thought she knew has been slowly unraveling. Her father disappeared and was presumed dead, her mother’s sanity started to slip away, and the safe world she’d always thought she was living in slowly began to reveal its very dark and twisted depths. With the discovery that both her father and long-lost uncle, Angus James, were alive, Meg thought she’d finally learned all the … the secrets New Atlanta and the CDC had to offer, but she soon discovers that the surprises have barely begun.
With Jackson Star’s threatening presence looming over them, Meg and her family are forced to flee the walls of New Atlanta, leaving both Axl and Donaghy, the man Meg has come to care so much about, in the CDC’s clutches. Knowing that rescuing them will be no easy task, the group turns to a very unlikely source, and Meg soon discovers that her long-lost uncle has more than a few shocking secrets to share. After two decades of living behind walls, it looks like the end of the zombies could be in sight, assuming they can break into the most fortified building left in the world. Luckily, Angus James knows exactly what to do to make it happen.
But Angus isn’t the only one with a few tricks up his sleeves. When Jackson Star suddenly decides to release Donaghy, it isn’t out of the kindness of his heart. With the clock ticking more than ever, Meg finds herself in a race against time. Success means not only saving her family, but the whole world as well, while failure could very well mean a life of living as Jackson Star’s slave.

All our favorite characters from Broken World and Twisted are back even Angus. Yeah everyone has now learned that Angus is still alive and that he has been held at the CDC while they experimented on him trying to find a cure for the zombie virus. A lot of people in the group thought of Angus as a God whom they worshiped.
I guess over the years as people are known to do I guess they talked and the more they talked the bigger the stories concerning Angus became until now they believe that he is capable of performing miracles. They think with him being immune to the zombie virus that he can just wave his hands around a little bit and the zombies will just disappear or something like that.
With the return of Angus, they decide that they are going to swarm the CDC and take them down and save all their friends, family, and loved ones. When Axl went missing everyone assumed Axl to be dead but that may not be the case. With Angus’s return, they now have hope that he may still be alive. Infiltrating the CDC will not be an easy task but Angus knows just how to get in and what to do once they are inside.
Is the world as they know it about to come to an end? Can they save the world from the zombies? Or will they lose everyone and everything when they go up against the CDC? Is a small group of people strong enough to take down the CDC? Who has the most to lose? The resistance or the CDC?
I fell in love with these characters and this world with the first book in the Broken World series. I am so sad to see it end. I do hope that Mary sees fit to pop out a few short stories from time to time with events that were not apart of the Broken World or Twisted series maybe with new characters or maybe an old character or two whose story we haven’t read yet. I would like to know how the zombie apocalypse started for some of the other characters and how they met up with Vivian, Axl, and Angus.
I highly recommend Twisted Fate to all zombie, apocalyptic and dystopian fans out there. Are you a fan of The Walking Dead? If the answer is yes then you are going to love Twisted Fate. Oh but I recommend that you read the Broken World series before reading the Twisted series as they should be read in order. So…I suggest that you get to clicking if you want to read this epic zombie-infested series. One-click your copies of the Broken World series and Twisted series today to begin this zombie, horror-filled world!
A very exciting end to an amazing series! Me being someone who doesn’t normally read dystopian/zombie books….author Kate L. Mary won me over hook, line and sinker. She spins a tale involving zombies then throws in a smattering of romance and tops it off with a dab of riveting suspense that you just can’t put down! I’ve come to love these characters and was quite happy with how everyone was paired off in the end…..some characters were killed off, but the rest lived on to dwell in what is left of the earth!
I thought that this was a wonderful wrap up to the series. I devoured Kate L. Mary’s Broken World series earlier this year and after learning that this series featured the same group of characters, I couldn’t wait to get started with it. It has been great to see these characters grow and survive and I enjoyed getting to meet new characters in this series. This book really did pull everything together very well and I had a great time with it.
This is the book where things really start to happen. Angus is alive and his friends know it. They also know how much danger Axl and Donaghy are in. At this point, not only do they want to rescue their friends and loved ones but they are also looking for some revenge. If anyone deserves revenge, I think Angus does. There are several points of view in this book and it worked well since the characters were not always together or looking at the situation in the same way.
This story was really exciting. There was plenty of action and I found myself worrying about the characters. There were quite a few surprises as well. I loved getting the chance to watch this group of characters working to make the world a better place even if it cost them. I was happy that this book left me with some hope for the future and I feel really satisfied with how things were wrapped up. My only complaint with the story would be that the last part of the book felt a little drawn out but nothing that lessened my overall enjoyment.
I thought that Heather Firth did a great job with the narration. There are quite a few characters in this series and a wide range of emotions that they experience. I thought that she did a great job of giving each character their voice and bringing them to life. The narrator reads the story at a really nice pace and I feel that her performance added to my overall enjoyment of the story.
I would recommend this series to others. I do feel that this is a series that is best read in order. I love the world that Kate L. Mary has created and the characters are amazing. I will definitely be reading more from this very talented author.
I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author.
I don’t want this series to end- must have more!
Twisted Fate (Twisted World, Volume 3) by Kate L. Mary and narrated by Heather Firth is a great ending to the series. Would recommend if you are a fan of zombies/post-apocalyptic books.
Twisted Fate begins where Twisted World left off. Expect a good amount of action, taking down the CDC, new characters (good and bad), a bit of romance, family bonds to strengthen, some humor, and closure to past events. Sometimes I wish there was a little more revenge/fight with the bad guys in this book, but at the same time, it fit well and I’m satisfied overall (can’t knock a start off because I enjoyed it and didn’t want to put it down).
There are those books that bring you right into the world, for me, it was this entire series. I’m sad it’s over, but the potential to continue is there. Kate is quickly becoming one of my top ten authors the more I venture into her books. She has a gift for creating fantastic worlds. If you haven’t discovered her books yet, get to it because you won’t be disappointed.
The narrator, Heath Firth, did a great job. Once again, I enjoyed her narration. I had no problem keeping the characters separate.
Overall, I highly recommend, especially if you are into zombies and post-apocalyptic life. Make sure you listen/read these in order.
Parental guidance/trigger warnings: I misplaced the paper I had notes on, so will do my best at recalling…This book has similar situations to the previous books. Swearing, death, sex (not graphic/minimal details), religion (the group who worships Agnus), weapons (used for killing/self-defense).
*I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the book!
