Twisted King

A Dark Mafia Romance (Twisted City Duet, Book 2)

De: Ria Wilde

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Lucy Rivers

Lex

They've taken my girl. My little bird.

I'll do whatever it takes to get her back, even if it means I have to level this city to the ground. They've woken the monster, and I'll be damn sure my face is the last one they see before I send them all to hell.

Wren

Beaten. Bruised. Broken.

They want me weak and submissive, but they've underestimated me. I'm no damsel. They've taken me from Lex, and I know he'll do everything to get me back. After all, I'm the queen of this city, and my rightful place is next to the king.

It's time to end this war.

Twisted King is the second and final book in the Twisted City Duet. It cannot be listened to as a stand-alone.

A dark, dangerous, and deliciously sinful mafia romance.

Overall a good story, great performances!

Overall a good story. I really enjoyed the strong female character. There were some unfinished story lines and maybe that’ll be in another book. The ending left some unanswered questions. The narrators performance were top notch, as always, from Lucy and Joe. Love these 2 working together.

Lucy and Joe + An Amazing Story = 🥵

The performance from Lucy and Joe add to an already amazing story. Plus hearing “it really f’ing helps” at the end is also enough for a review.

Call me your little bird ANYTIME!!

Joe Arden hits it out the park yet again. The story was angsty, so damn spicy and oh emm gee growly Joe can do no wrong. Loved this duet

So much sass little bird!

Great book. Tons of intensity and steam and action. Wren thought maybe she was looking danger in the eye when this whole time she was Mrs Danger. loved it!

was hunting adeline too much...?

if hunting adeline was too much here is your mafia toned down version. it's not a duet audiobook but it does have joe arden 😍😍

Another slam dunk!!

Joe and Lucy knock it out of the park again!! They have such great vocal chemistry and are both amazing voice actors!! Ria’s writing is always excellent and is glue that holds it all together!!

Addictively Twisted Conclusion

Book 2 of the Twisted City Duet you must read/listen to book 1, Little Bird, first.

We pick up right where we left off at the end of Little Bird. Chaos is raining down on Lex & Wren and in the middle of it all, they are separated.

Wren holds strong in her captivity while Lex burns the whole world to ash and does whatever he has to do to get her back.

This installment has a lot more triggering content as compared to the first book. Be aware and be prepared.

Again, the audiobook is performed by Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers. The emotions both of these artists bring to their portrayals of these characters is heartbreaking. While in the darkest of moments in the book, you can feel their pain, anger, torment and desperation. Once reunited and trying to move forward, the anguish that is felt before acceptance and determination, before healing and recovery, it's all so gripping you don't want to stop listening. Strap in and wade through it, because there is an HEA to be had, they (and we along with them) just have get there and embrace it.

I requested and was provided with an advanced copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.

I loved it!

The second book in this series held up! We were left hanging when Wren was taken away from Lex by her father Valentine! We pick up right where we left off and everything happens pretty quickly!

I will say that is one thing I really enjoyed about this book we’re the quick chapters and how fast pace the duet was!

Now, on to the narrators! I freaking love them, Joe is my all time favorite male narrator and the things he growls in this book will make your heart beat faster!! And I love Lucy Rivers, I’ve loved her since I first listened to the Collector Series by SMB! She has such a good male voice and she’s dramatic and lovely! I love them both!

Wow

What a story! What a performance!! What a roller coaster! I’m worried about myself since I fell for Lex. 😂😂😍😍 oh little bird… my twisted king.

Amazing ending to the duet

What an amazing ending to this duet. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers killed it in both books. They did such a phenomenal job of bringing Wren and Lex's story to life. Wren was his Little Bird and Lex became Wren's Twisted King. He would do absolutely anything to save his Little Bird and not think twice about the consequences.

I loved how these two characters started out with so much hate and anger towards each other but in the end they were the person needed to complete the other. The strength that Wren showed by the end of this book was outstanding. She grew so much throughout this duet and I loved it. The first half of this book was extremely stressful but I knew it would all work out in the end. I was a bit excited to see how Wren and Lex would obtain their vengeance. It was done perfectly.

This duet are the first books by this author that I have experienced and I am really excited to read more of her work. These stories are full of love while also interwoven with some darkness. Perfectly balanced in my opinion.
