Now I don’t know who to trust… or even if I’ll survive the night.”A new urban fantasy series from the award-winning screenwriter of ground-breaking BBC TV series Spirit Warriors.When Marley moves into her dorm at Blackville University, she has classes to sign up for, parties to attend, and an … she has classes to sign up for, parties to attend, and an over-protective father to avoid, who, as luck would have it, has just been hired at BU as its newest History professor.
While trying to befriend her roommate, Marley discovers that Cassie might just be the oddest – if richest – girl she’s ever known. Then there’s Eve, the older girl with a mysterious past who hides her true face under layers of make-up and a bitchy attitude. Thank God for Tyler who seems nice and has the kind of hair Marley would kill for, or she would think college life was a bust already.
After a disastrous night out ends with them all thrown together for the first time, something happens that no one expected. Something magical. And suddenly they discover they each have been gifted with strange new powers – but why? And who is the mysterious good-looking stranger who seems to know far more than he is willing to tell them?

OMG. THIS. BOOK.
Now I admit I’ve gotten hooked on the latest trend of serials, but this book is the first I’ve read that completely and utterly had me from the first page. I could almost describe reading this book is like watching a television show. I love the characters. Each is well written as separate complex individuals. Then there’s the story. So full of twists and epic turns that I can’t explain it without giving spoilers away. The author did a great job setting up the story to want readers to return. If you have even the slightest inclination to read this book I beg you to try it! You will not be disappointed.
While the story is geared towards young adults, I believe older audiences will enjoy this book as well. There’s mystery, suspense and lots of entertainment. There also some honest dealings with troubled teens who have secrets and feelings to work through.
What Doesn’t Kill You is the first book in the Twisted series.
Final Rating: 5 Stars
From the first page I was hooked. This was a book that made it so easy to relate to the misfits. This is a book about not fitting in and what can impact in a young persons life. It also shows you how important it is to be unique and be you. I cannot wait to read the next book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I received a copy of this for a fair and honest review. I had a little trouble picking a favorite character in this book. I thought that I had at one point then she did something that just bugged me. But Eve, Tyler, Cassie and Marley were just starting to just get to know each other. They seem to have nothing in common at all or do they. This is just a short and easy read, but it is only the start of their adventure together. It has been a bit of a strange and creepy adventure. I need to get my hands on the next one so I can see what happens next. Bang cliffhanger.
This one is very complex and then is not. You have one young lady who think she’s going crazy cuz she sees dead people and she’s on medication who goes off to college and meets up with three other young ladies. And from there it gets really wild cuz it’s true she does see dead people. And her other roommates classmates have special gifts also and it just gets really exciting. The ending will make you want more now. Highly recommend reading this series it’s fantastic so far
