Length: 3 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Born at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse to the head of the CDC and the leader of the new world, Jackson Star has always known that he would one day rule. Only the Stars’ plans go much deeper than simply keeping humanity alive, and the evil that sleeps inside Jackson is darker than even his father knows. Everyone in the settlement is a puppet, and everyone has a purpose in the Stars’ master plan, starting with Megan James.

But as Jackson and his father creep closer to achieving their goals at the CDC, things slowly begin to unravel. Meg isn’t cooperating the way she should be, and the presence of a new person in her life is threatening to blow their plan apart. Jackson must now decide how to deal with the girl he has spent the last nine years trying to manipulate, as well as the family she has left and the man who has taken up residence in her life. To complicate matters even more, the darkness inside Jackson has gotten increasingly persistent, making it difficult for him to control it at times and leading him to wonder if he shouldn’t just give in to his urges once and for all.

Twisted Mind is a dark and disturbing look into Jackson’s brain, and the inner-workings of the CDC. It will give readers a glimpse of the future, as well as answer questions that have plagued us from the very beginning of the Broken World series.

good continuation of the series

I like this book little bit better than I like the first one I kept me very intrigued it was really easy this time to stay in the book for long period of time still love the narrator and the author of the book really good read or should I say listen.

Jackson is like Jekyll and Hyde

This novella is book 1.5 and should be read after book 1. This fills in the gaps with Jackson’s perspective, reactions, and behaviors to situations pertaining to Meg’s character.
This novella shows a side of Jackson you might not have seen in book 1. Jackson is a powerful, devious, and twisted character. He has been conditioned from the moment he entered into the new world by a man just as dangerous. He’s part of an internship program designed to train and develop the twisted mind where humans live in a settlement behind protected walls. The regulator was unaware of the power he was instilling in this young man.
Jackson is sinister and this short book illustrates examples of his dark desires.

Narrated by Heather Firth. Heather is the voice of all characters. She has a nice tone to her voice. Her vocal style matched the female character roles. Heather’s voice is appropriate casted to portray the female characters. However, Heather’s voice doesn’t portray the male character voices with that deep ember that a man can. Dual narration would be preferable.

There were some moments of silence in the audio almost like the edits didn’t overlap properly leaving gaps of silence.

Star vs. James
Danger inside the walls vs. danger outside the walls
Virus vs. mutation
Containment
Jekyll and Hyde.

A must read!!

I love Kate’s books and this series is completely engaging! I did not want to stop listening until the story was complete!!

Fills in a lot of pot holes.

This novella came out after the first book of the Twisted World series, which adds a lot of helpful background. We are given insight into Jackson Star, the regulator’s son and destined to be head of the CDC. We’ll learn of his infatuation with Meg and all the under-handed plans to win her heart. And we’re introduced to his nastier alter ego, which he calls “the need”. This story overlaps book one concerning the cage fighter, but not to be repetitive. I enjoyed the tale and it filled in a few holes from the first volume. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Twisted Mind

This is a dark story about the mind of Jackson Starr.He is son of the man that has taken over the world since it fell to the first flu.A truely evil man.Heather Firth is a great narrator..
I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

A truly twisted mind!

It is very eye opening when you hear the story from Jackson’s POV and to know what is going on in his mind. He is twisted, a sick mind and a brilliant one to boot. I would like to see what will happen, if he will take over his father’s mission of madness.

I would have preffered a male narrator

Not be misunderstood this narrator did an excellent job, However this was the inner monologue of THE Villan in this series and while we are invited on some new information from other characters they where mostly all male so for me it would have been better to get this perspective with a better matching voice.

this audio just reaffirmed that this villan has absolutely no redemption, without further spoilers I'll note that while some may not find it necessary to listen as this is the inner workings of one, we where also given missing information and background convos feom side characters that better tied up suspicions from the 1st book.
