Distorted

Alabaster Penitentiary, Book 1

De: Nyla K

Narrado por: Michael Gallagher, Bryant Walker

This is Alabaster Penitentiary... Where they send you when the world thinks you're dead. And trust me, you'll wish you were. We're the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I'm just a lowly bank robber. I don't belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse... At least, I don't think I do. Getting by unscathed is my top priority. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are.

You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one. He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. We move around one another like a sun and a moon, revolving in an axis of confused lust and torment until the truth is distorted, and the thing I once feared becomes that which I crave; my vile addiction, somehow so exquisite. Reality warps in the dungeon, and I'm left wondering which prison is worse... The one holding my body, or my mind.

**Distorted is the first book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. It is a full, dark M/M romance, with HEA. Each book in this series is technically a standalone, though they are interconnected, so it will be recommended to enjoy in order. Distorted is intended for mature audiences and open-minded listeners. Detailed list of CW's can be found here: authornylak.com/distorted-content-warning

Kept me engaged for the full 17+ hours

This book was definitely not boring. I'm not sure what that other reviewer listened to. The story stands out for being so different and well written. I love imperfect characters and the two MCs here we're perfectly imperfect. Both narrators were stellar. I rarely give five star reviews but I couldn't find anything to complain about here. Hoping the other books in this series will soon be on Audible. 🤞

Really good!

I’ve had this book saved for a hot minute but could never work up the energy to read such a long book. I was excited when I saw that the audiobook came out and it was amazing! The narrators did such a good job showing the emotions in the dialogue… especially the spicy parts. 🥵🥵 Can’t say to much about this book but it’s crazy but also weirdly wholesome. Loved it!

Amazing book and narration

Let’s talk narration. Simply perfection. Made me feel like I was right in prison with them all. I first had read this book and now listened to it. This was the best decision ever. I need to do Joyless now.

I kept seeing this book recommended and comments made and was a little nervous because it is so far out of my comfort zone but I found a group of friends to buddy read with and all I can say is WOW. WOW. WOW

I am not going to talk about to the book at all as I will not give away anything to do with the story.

This book took me on a wild roller coaster. It had me questioning my morals, falling in love with people I shouldn’t be, wanting to free prisoners. Seriously, what is wrong with me. This book is not for everyone and would affect people that have certain triggers.

This book is dark. This book will mess with your mind. Even after reading and listening to this story, I am still think about everything in the book and questioning everything. It’s twisted. I mean they are in prison. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows in prison people.

I am totally blown away with the writing and research that went into this book. I now need to listen to Joyless. I fell in love with some people I probably shouldn’t be. This book is one that you will never forget.

🤯 Putting the twist in twisted.

Between the author’s world-building and the narrators’ bringing that world to life ina very real way, I don’t think there’s a single emotion on the emotional scale that I did not feel while listening to this audiobook. To say Dash and Kemper earned their HEA the hard way is an understatement. I will definitely be continuing this series as the audiobooks become available because now I’m invested in the boys still at Alabaster getting their HEA too.

OMG

This book. I couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s phenomenal. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.

mind fuck!

this book was truly distorted! so many mixed feelings. don't want to spoil, but there was so much sexual assault that it was hard to listen to. but then the twist comes. i love nyla k. but "for the fans" was soooooo much better!

what a twist

not normally something I go for but we'll written, preformed, and the twist was perfect

I can’t begin to explain just how much I loved this book 🥰

I loved the whole storyline. It was SO well thought through out! I’ve read the whole series or rather listened to the whole series (because of my head injury, I have vision problems). I’m eagerly waiting for Fragments to come to be released on Audible! Nyla K. Is a genius!

Creepy but sooooo sexy

I think this book should have some trigger warnings (maybe it does and i missed them) due to the intensity of its content. Personally, I'm a freak so some of the content wasn't an unhappy surprise. Some of it was however and made me very uncomfortable, especially when it would become graphic.

Cannot say enough good things.....

When Nyla K announced she was bringing Distorted to audio my anxiety spiked..... I am obsessed with this series and all of the characters in it. So, it was going to take someone with exceptional talent in order for me to be happy with the audio book. I have a very long commute on many days, so I listen to audiobooks ALOT. At the same time I have a friend who has been dying for this to come to audio because she gets migraines from reading. So she is an audiobook EXPERT. We both preordered this. She listened first/immediately and was blown away. I, on the other hand, had to wait a couple of days. I WAS ALSO BLOWN AWAY. I got to enjoy this story all over again with a phenomenally talented narrator as Dash (who narrates a majority of the book). If you haven't read the story and are going into it for the first time, just know it is a bit dark and there are a few triggers. If you like dark, you will LOVE this series.
