Publisher's summary

Nick, leader of the half-breeds and the last true hero, has spent his life fighting a dark pull toward the gods - a pull he now knows is linked to his father Krónos and the Titan's plan to escape from the Underworld. But Nick's hidden powers are coveted by more than just his father. Imprisoned by Hades, Nick battles every form of torture imaginable as the god schemes to break him. Only one thing keeps him sane - one woman who gives him the strength to fight the relentless darkness. But she has a dangerous plan of her own, and as Nick's powers grow stronger, even she might not be enough to alter his destiny.

Contains mature themes.

Good grief.. SPOILERS, maybe..

Any additional comments?

This was far from my favorite of the Eternal Guardians. In fact, if I hadn't loved the other books so much I might have given this 1 star. I just could not like Cynna. As far as I'm concerned she WAS just Zagreus's slut, I don't care if it was willing or not. For 6 months she tortured Nick at the devils' spawn request and we were supposed to like her? When Nick was in the other books I really liked him but in this one, not so much. It was almost like their story was built around their dark and painful sex. I mean, they both had their turn at being chained while doing their "business." If this is the route EN is taking I'm through with her EG books.

As to the narrator: Ms. Wiley did a wonderful job. Every one had their own voice, whether it was male or female. She could use a little more emotion but I was still pleased with her narration.

Finally We Get Nick's Story!

Since he was introduced in Marked, the first book in the Eternal Guardians series, I have been itching for more Nick. While we have seen him in every book and even got his POV briefly, nothing prepared me for his darkness. Oh, Nick, you dirty, dirty boy. *swoons*

So much time had passed since Bound, book six in the Eternal Guardians series, was released that I had forgotten very important details. I started Twisted and was completely lost. So what's a girl to do? I decided it was a fine time for a series re-read and when I discovered that Twisted would be released in audio format even though it was self-pubbed, I decided to feed my audiobook addiction and buy the whole series. I'm soooo glad I did. While I was slow to warm to her, Elisabeth Wiley ended up being a great narrator for this series and I thoroughly enjoyed my re-read.

I will admit, Twisted wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Elisabeth Naughton is phenomenal when it comes to world building and maybe due to Zagreus' lair being somewhat lame and tamer than I was expecting, I was a tad disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the torture was definitely there, it was just much less torturey than what we dealt with in Gryphon's book, Enslaved. I'm not saying that Nick was treated well while in Zagreus' prison, but we certainly didn't get the details that I needed to feel that Nick had really suffered there. Due to that and how easily the book was resolved, I didn't enjoy Twisted as much as I did the last couple of books in the series.

All that said, Twisted was super smexy as well as action packed, I really liked Cynna, Ari was a fantabulous addition to the mythology, and I'm beyond thrilled that Ms. Naughton decided to continue this series on without a publisher. There are sooooo many great series that are cut short because they don't get extended contracts and this is a series that would have left many unsatisfied if it had just ended. So I want to say thank you, Elisabeth, for continuing on with this world and making your readers very happy. I truly would have been heartbroken had I not gotten more of the Eternal Guardians.

Nick Nick Nick

I have to say this was my favorite out of the Eternal Guardians series. For all the books they had me so curious what was it about Nick that made you want to know who he was and why he wasnt in Arogolea even though i felt like he belonged so much. I was so excited that in this book i finally found out!!

Nick's Story.

This wasn't the best in the series, it had a bit of a dark and icky feeling. The backgrounds of the main characters leaves something to be desired. The thing that bugs me is the whole Nick/Isadora/Demetri soul mate mess. My favorite book from this series is Demetri's and Isadora but this story line makes me like their relationship less. It does all come together in the end and although this is my least favorite book it still is fairly good. I will read more from this series if the author comes out more. Narrator was still good, she is the same one from the whole series.

this is a very sexy and Steamy book. ❤❤❤

Great story line. it's easily to get addicted to this book. all 8 books in this series is all equally fantastic. the love scenes are so detailed it puts butterflies in your stomach. the lady that's reading the book, changes her voice tone to match the story lines and she makes it feel like your really there watching it all happen. I completely love these guardian books and I admit I have read them all several times. I still cant get enough of this series ❤❤❤❤

The baddest bad boy of all

This book is one I've anticipated for a long time and I wasn't disappointed. There were twists I didn't expect that made me gasp out loud.

DONE!

I am so over this series its not even funny, It starts off Nick in Zagreus's lair fighting the satyr's. The first half is about his torture which is handed down from Zagreus to Cynna who Nick is attracted to. Then the second half is about Nick dealing with soul mate curse and Cynna's insecurities and his own self deprecation and the evil within.

What I can say is she added another twist to the story and I won't give that away. The narrator does a very good in bringing the story to life. But I am done with this series it took me about two weeks to get through the whole book. I cant stand whiney characters and I really don't like syrupy stories. Which this story contained.
