When I told him to go to hell, I never realized it would be a trip for two.All I wanted was luck—the good kind. I’d lost my job, a jerk hacked my bank account, and I caught my best friend screwing my fiancé. When stood up by my date in a bar, I met the perfect man—tall, dark, and handsome in the most expensive suit. He was out of my league, but I didn’t want forever.I barely remember the words he … barely remember the words he whispered under the veil of sin and seduction. I didn’t believe in Satan, God, Heaven or Hell. I thought he was kidding. A figment. A dream.
I was wrong. With one, breathless yes, my fate was sealed.
Businessman by day, demon by night, Leo Weston now owns my soul in exchange for good luck. Time is ticking as he works to secure my mother’s soul, too. Somehow, I have to take him down despite him being so damned gorgeous, glib, and devious. Will my gift of twisted luck be enough to save her and protect my heart?

4.5 Stars
Intense from the beginning. I was sucked in immediately.
Olivia is fresh out of luck heading down a rabbit hole of horrible horrible event. Why not take her out when she is at her lowest?
That’s what the attractive and irresistible demon in a suit does.
Olivia is NOTHING like anyone he has ever met and it was hilarious to see how she takes control of her life.
This is filled with humor, suspense, and Heat.
I highly recommend.
I’ve not read this author before but the blurb sounded intriguing.
Olivia was having a crap day, drinking herself into oblivion. She was ripe for the picking when Leo sat by her, too handsome for his own good. He was a demon with a job to do, never came across anyone like Olivia before though. Did she have powers of her own or did she just outsmart him?
She’s do anything to save her mother’s life, but will she survive herself?
This was actually a fun story and I loved the twist.
When Olivia meets a handsome stranger at the bar where she’s drinking away her sorrows, all she wants from him is a good time. Unfortunately for Liv, she gets a lot more than she bargained for. Leo Weston is a demon, and with the Virgin blood that was spilled that night, she signed away her soul – for a bit of good luck. Now Leo’s boss, Samuel, wants to steal Olivia’s mother’s soul, and Liv is determined not to let that happen. The only way she can stop it? Is if she wins Leo’s heart, and considering he’s a demon, that may be impossible. But Olivia knows she has to try.
Oh my gosh!! I’m not sure what I was expecting with this book, but I was super impressed with it. Liv was a sweetie, and she has this incredibly sassy nature that had me laughing all throughout the book. Leo is darkly handsome and incredibly seductive, but his cluelessness at times was also freaking hilarious. Liv and Leo had this undeniable chemistry from that first moment they locked eyes at the bar, and I was rooting for them the whole time. My first book by Mia Downing, but I know it won’t be the last!!! This book gets the ReadsBySarita stamp of approval for sure.
Cheated, robbed, jobless and almost on the street! A streak of bad luck had Olivia on the path of despair and blind to other possibilities. A few many drinks and an offer dragged her toward a situation that could have disastrous results, and not just for her. I laughed with Olivia’s predicament and how she was handling the problem. A strong character, determined, not at all selfish and who was not daunted by her plight, that was her. Leo, the mysterious and intriguing demon was forced to do anything to ensure his position and well-being until his assignment was Olivia. Interesting how his reality changed. First book that I read from this author and liked the entertaining and interesting situations with some suspense, humor, romance, heated passion and descriptions and narrations that caught my attention.
I enjoyed reading Twisted Luck; it is a interesting blend of plots within plots, emotions, and decisions. Olivia’s character was full of depth and personality. I was angry and sad on her behalf multiple times, and I cheered with her when things when her way. Her strength of character was amazing throughout the story as was her determination. Leo’s character growth from the beginning to the end of the book was well written and, though it is a paranormal story, believable. I confess to reading the entire book in one sitting… I just had to see what happened next!
I received an ARC copy of this book and voluntarily chose to leave a review.
Twisted Luck was one of them reads where I’m slightly on the fence in regards to its characters It did keep my interest but there were just a few niggles that dragged it down a star for me.
This for me is more of an individual preference than a black mark for the book and this no way takes away from the flow of the writing as Twisted Luck was expertly written, It is just a personal opinion and might not be an issue for anyone else reading this.
So here we go, Olivia has had a string of bad luck, enter Leo WELL WELL!!! upon first meeting Leo as Oliva is drowning herself in tequila at a local bar I thought, here we go, real bad boy, won’t take no crap from no one yay my type of anti-hero this is going to be epic and here lies my problem, apart from the fact that Leo is an honest to god Demon and not just in the sack I found him just a bit, well, wussy. I wanted him to stand up to his kind of a dad Sam and stop wimping out, grow a pair you’re a demon for god’s sake.
I also didn’t think our Leo would have forgotten how to have a pee even if it has been years this is just something that you don’t forget and finally the use of the word the magic, it was the magic this, the magic that, it got a bit irritating after a bit, would have liked to see a different word occasionally maybe my powers or I would have even settled for Va Va Voom for a change rather than the magic.
now I have that out of the way I’m going to explain why you should read this. Twisted luck was apart from my above points a page turner. I may be slightly biased in regard to Leo as I prefer a slightly darker hero or in my case anti-hero to drool over, but if you like a more human hero this book is for you.
I really do get what Mia was trying to convey Our Demon Leo transforming into a more human version of himself in a way un-demonising Leo and showing a warmer more flawed version of him as he slowly learned what it was like to love and be loved by Olivia and also reside without the use of here we go lol THE MAGIC!!!!.
And this was accomplished and pulled off with finesse and humour so if you like stories where the girl redeems the guy and they live HEA then this is the book for you I passed a very enjoyable few hours immersed in this and that’s what Twisted Luck is Enjoyable and not too hard, an easy warm read that you can snuggle up with when you just want some R & R and some downtime.
I received an e-copy of this book free from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
