Publisher's summary

Death marked her from her very first breath.

Being sired by a Madrid is supposed to be a blessing, but for Tempest, it's a curse that leaves her orphaned, penniless, and enslaved to a blood thirsty crown on the brink of war.

Found too unruly to become a ward of the court, she's thrust into the care of the King's Hounds - the assassins and warriors responsible for protecting the kingdom. Driven by rage and an oath to avenge her mother's memory, Tempest throws herself into training.

But becoming the first ever female assassin isn't enough. Now, she must obtain the heart of her kingdom's most feared enemy - the jester - a deadly shapeshifter hidden in a land twisted by myth and darkness.

Revenge is never easy or cheap. Tempest is willing to sacrifice everything to see justice served. Even her own soul and freedom.

Enter the world of the Twisted Kingdoms at your own risk where monsters wear pretty masks, good and evil are at war, and fairy tales don't exist. If you love fiery heroines, sexy villains, enemies-to-lovers romance, pulse-pounding action, mafia undertones, and dark fairy tales, you need to discover the new series readers are comparing to Holly Blacks's Cruel Prince and Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows.

Characters

I love the characters and interactions. Voices are perfect. I hope the rest of the series will be recorded

Pretty Damn Good

I throughly thought this book earned a review, and I’m generally not not interested enough to put my energy towards such things.
This book surprised me.
The beginning was probably my least favorite part(I believe this part is the clip), if I had to ask you to stick through it, this would be my evidence to perused you to do just that. The world was captivating and romantic with a pull to know more, sink deeper. “Fox” reminded me a lot of Remy Lebeau AKA Gambit, and dude, I’m into that.
Even written well enough that Im not embarrassed that I liked it and will buy in hand to gift my 15 year old to also get to read. ((So hard to find a interesting feminine/adventurous -no crass bs..but feels and intrigue kinda book, …on a side note, If it’s in parentheses the grammar doesn’t matter right))
Anyway…I recommend.

Amazing Audiobook

The Hunt was Amazing.. I love I love the fantasy genre.. Authors like Kay Frost who write these Amazingly Epic stories are the reason why.. And this is just the beginning of The Twisted Kingdom series.. I seriously can not wait to listen to the next installment of this series.. I loved the narrators and hope they are use in all the audiobooks of The Twisted Kingdoms Series. I really need to get all the books in this series on audible eventually..

A definite Treat!

The storyline is great, characters are well explained and easy to love or despise or semi like... I enjoyed the journey and the games and the character building. And its actually a slow, slow burn... but those are the best relationships in books because the anticipation and guessing is so much fun before finding out and fist pumping your elation in the end or yelling "WHAT??!" if the outcome surprises you! Truly a treat this book was and I'm off to read the next and hoping its just as Amazing and Intriguing!

Oh! The narrators did a wonderful job. At first it took a moment to get used to the cadence and sound of the female narrator but after a few pages I was drawn in and enjoyed the story. I also LOVE when the author chooses a female AND a male narrator for the opposing povs. The male voice was nice to listen to also, and he brought the male characters more depth and his inflection and cadence was on point. All in all, a job well done!

Very enjoyable

I really loved listening to this story! Well written and paced. I was excited to find out Weist happened next and was invested in the characters and outcomes!

Really good

I really enjoyed this book 1 of the The Twisted Kingdoms series. Tempest is struggling to find where she truly belongs in this twisted kingdom and uncovers truths that makes her second guess everything she believed in. I can’t wait to hear how her story continues! The characters in this book are well defined and the story intriguing with a good bit of action that keeps you involved.

amazing start to the series!

wow! I was totally all in with this book on the first chapter! I'm loving the characters and Tempest is kick butt!

The Hunt

this book was so good. full of Adventure, drama and so much more. This is a must read/ listen. The narrator's did an awesome job. well Zachary always does a excellent job but Cris did too. I can't wait till the 2nd book comes out. I need to know whats going to happen next.

A great beginning to a fairytale series of mish-mash retellings!

Oh my goodness! How did I not know about this series!!! I love retellings and this is such a great one…well, at least the first book in the series is!! It’s a bit of a mish-mash of fairytales, definitely Red Riding Hood and The Fox and The Hound, but I feel like there’s more. It continues in book two, so maybe I’ll pick up more there. If you like retellings, you’ll love this!!

The narrators were great, and they really brought the story to life!!

Good story

The story was pretty good, but the women narrator honestly sounded computer generated at the beginning. I got used to it or it for better the more I listened though. And honestly, the story is rather short
