TWISTED is Book two in Cynthia Eden's LOST series.
TWISTED
is aptly named -- because of the twisted killer and also
because of all the twists and turns the story takes. Even
though this is part of a series, I think TWISTED can still
be read and enjoyed by readers who may be new to the
series. In TWISTED, there is a feeling that permeates the
book that nowhere and nobody is "safe", and survival is
everything.
Ex-FBI agent Dean Bannon and Emma Castille are two flawed
people who are thrown together with sexy results. I liked
Emma immediately. She has been through a lot and seen a
lot
of things in her life but, as battle-hardened by life as
she is, she still tries to stick her neck out to protect
those in danger. I like how Emma is able to empathize with
the missing young girl and see the parallels with her own
life. Emma is strong and smart, while also having a softer
side. Her special skills are interesting -- especially for
fans of shows like THE MENTALIST an PSYCH. The scenes
between Emma and Dean are highly erotic and amazing.
This LOST series by Cynthia Eden seems to get
better with
each book. The race to find the missing girl is almost as
captivating as the mystery surrounding the identity of the
killer. Once again, Cynthia Eden creates an exciting page-
turner that I can't stop reading once I started. More than
halfway through TWISTED, and the identity of the
psychopath
only becomes more unclear. I enjoyed meeting the
characters
from Emma's past and that glimpse it provides into the
person she is today. I think you learn even more about the
members of LOST and understand them a little bit better
individually, as well as the group dynamic. I can't wait
until each member gets a story of their own.
Although I don't normally read romantic suspense, I can't
help but be pulled into the exciting stories in this
LOST
series. TWISTED is the perfect blend of eroticism,
suspense, and great story-telling. Each story will bewitch
you from beginning to end and have you longing for the
next
one. I am so excited to see what happens in the next
installment!
In the second seductive LOST novel from New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden, an obsessed Last Option Search Team agent goes looking for trouble—and finds her in the Big Easy. Dean Bannon comes to New Orleans for one reason only: to track down a missing sixteen-year-old girl. That’s before he meets the drop-dead gorgeous con artist who makes him want to lose his legendary control. With her past, Emma Castille doesn’t claim to be psychic. She just notices things other people don’t. Like the fear in a runaway’s eyes—or the pain in an ex-FBI agent’s heart. Her chemistry with Dean is blistering, but Emma follows her passion… not someone else’s orders. Then a madman breaks into Emma’s home and leaves a twisted message: You’re next. Now Dean refuses to let her out of his sight until he pries every last secret from her full, sexy lips. And suddenly Emma’s aching to give him everything he wants.
