Twisted by Maggie Giles (Review by Shantell Krystal)

Rating 5/5

This book is a “Twisted” and tangled story of women who appear to have their lives together, but when strange things start happening, we see this really isn’t the case. This was one of those rare books that I could not put down until I finished reading it. I found myself needing to be able to understand all of the twists and solve the tangled mysteries that come about in each of their lives.

Mel is the madam of an escort service. It’s at this business that she brings in girls who are struggling with life and looking for work. The cast of characters includes someone who could be considered one of her best friends – Jackie. She is another escort who has a soft spot for wanting to help other women who are in need. Together they come across a woman who is passed out in an alley with belongings she claims are not hers spread out on the ground. They decide to bring the women into the business and thus the tangled story begins.

I found myself being pulled into each of the women’s unique lives. I felt empathy for the main characters and didn’t have a favorite, as I was able to feel for them equally.

Add to the tale a jewelry heist, mysterious prescription drugs , episodes of missing time in each of the women’s daily lives, and not to mention a murder that has all the women involved in some way or another. Mel and her boyfriend Ryan need to figure out what all these facts have in common to keep the women out of trouble and before someone else gets murdered.

If you are looking for suspense, surprises and being able to solve a mystery of characters, than this is a must read for you.
