Twisted

Alphabits, Book 5

De: Susi Hawke, Crista Crown

Narrado por: John Solo

Lost. Stolen. Forgotten...until the Alphabits step in.

A Team A.L.P.H.A. spinoff series.

Patton Ryder has always taken pride in the differences between him and his twin brother, Ozzy. But now that Ozzy is mated and has a growing family, Patton is starting to realize that maybe being completely different isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Axel Wilson is extremely protective of his former street crew, a bunch of child thieves who are under the care of his mentor, Saul Hagin. But Saul is dead, and Saul’s mate Ira has dollar signs where his heart should be. Not knowing what else to do, Axel makes a call for help, not realizing that his problem is going to land smack dab in front of the Alphabits, and drop him right on top of his true mate’s lap.

Just because they’re mates doesn’t mean Patton trusts the former thief, but the more they dig into the case and Axel’s past, the more he realizes that Axel has a giant heart full of love that has never been returned the way it ought to. But that gentle heart might be forever scarred if they can’t rescue the kids from Ira’s cold machinations soon enough.

The Alphabits aren’t vigilantes. These former soldiers and officers of the law have to do things by the book - even when it tears them apart to do so. But once all their ducks are in a row, the bad guys had better beware! You do not want this team of protective alphas on your tail.

This is the fifth in the Alphabits series, and should be read in order for maximum enjoyment. You can expect to find naughty, knotty scenes of steamy passion, along with a lot of potty-mouth language and some violence. Be ready for a go-go dancing snow leopard, the rolliest and polliest of hedgehogs, and the first appearance of a vortex in the Team ALPHA world. HEA definitely included, intended for 18+ readers only. Seriously, would you expect anything less from Susi Hawke and Crista Crown?

Another great rescue and romance

This is Patton and Axel's story. Patton is a member of the Alphabits team, and is assigned to a case of reported children being used in a minor crime ring, but not being taken care of.

Axel has made it out of the home for criminal youth, but when the original leader dies, he fears for the children he left behind. He has tried to help, but he is out of options. So, when he happens across a business card from years ago, he feels it is his only option left.

Axel agrees to meet with members of the team, but he never expected to be overcome by his overwhelming need for the big guy who has come along to question him. The two waste no time, as Axel's heat had come on unexpectedly.

Now it is up to the team, with the help from Axel, to find this band of young thieves and find the man in charge of the operation. What is left behind is a group of children who are very close knit, and used to lives of crime. But, of course, the team finds the best solution possible, and our MCs get their HEA.

I thought John Solo did a great job with the narration. His character differentiation is done well, and his pacing is steady throughout the story.

* I received a free copy of this audiobook and I am leaving my honest review. "

Patton and Axel find their way to trust and love.

Patton and Axel find their way to trust and love. i enjoyed the narration of this story and it really brought to life the characters.

Finding their mate is amazing, but there are still things that they have to work out. Trust and respect take time and they find their way through communication and trial and error. I really enjoyed Axel in this story, he was a strong and independent man and he found a way to be himself and be mated to a strong man.

I enjoyed the development of the different kids that they were searching for and how special each of them were. I loved the character of Maddie, who is just the cutest little hedgehog.

Twisted is the fifth book in the Alphabits series and i am enjoying each new book! This is a good addition to the rest of the series.

Another great Alphabits story!

Oh, how I love this Alphabits series!
I loved this book. Patton, the alpha wolf who’s the twin brother of last story’s one, is a fun and protective one, and Axel, the omega snow leopard with a Dom streak to him, grew up on the streets and is a tough cookie…
In this book the team gets to work on rescuing the kids on Axel’s former crew from the streets, and this all with all the Susi Hawke and Crista Crown good feelings!

John Solo's narration is the usual extra addition to a good story, and it’s so expressive that you can't help but love listening to it!

ozzy

ozzy fun loving wolf love that he has a hot head mate to balance him out and the fact that he share a wall with his twin. cake cake.

Love this series

I was so happy that Patton found his mate sooner rather then later in this series. Axel broke my heart. Having everything you own fit into a backpack was too much for me. I loved that he cared so much for the kids & made the sacrifice to contact the Alphabits (copers) to try and save them from Ira who was a nasty POS. I wished he would have been snagged by STAHP & turned into minced meat. The rules he made up for the street kids was just wrong! The story is not only the mating of Axel & Patton but the investigation in finding the kids and once finding them, finding good homes for them. I'm glad that Maddie stayed with them and became part of their family. I don't recall them ever saying "I love you" to each other. I may be wrong but I just don't remember it. I would love seeing more of the MC's in this series in their shifted forms running & playing.
