Any kind of build up the story worked towards, appreciation for the characters earned, the dynamics they shared or a climax to their struggles. To be completely honest, all of it felt absolutely meaningless in the end. Personally, I wished I had known what I was walking into. That way, anyone who is still considering this one can make their own informed decision on whether to venture into Spoilerland or not. Since the writer has been pleading with everyone not to spoil the story, I’ll separate this review in a non-spoilery general thoughts section (that will be pretty vague) and a more in-depth one at the bottom (including the specifics of my issues). My reaction to the book went from “I’m actually having fun” to this pretty damn fast. It started out so strong, with a delectable touch of taboo and dark romance that had me hooked (plus some VERY hot smut to boot), but then the 80 percent mark hit and… Now that I’ve finished it, I can say this story turned into a very peculiar one for me. ⭐ 2.5 “this book almost had me in the first half, not gonna lie” stars⭐
This story is dark, probably darker for some than others, so please proceed with caution, and if you’re easily triggered, steer clear. Each book in this series is technically a standalone, though they are interconnected, so it will be recommended to read in order, as references to this story will be made in future books.ĭistorted is intended for mature audiences and open-minded readers ONLY! If you prefer the same old story, this book won’t be for you.
** Distorted is the first book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. And I promise, it’ll be fun to go in blind. *DO NOT READ OR POST SPOILERS! I am begging you to think of your fellow readers, in your reviews, your posts… everywhere. Reality warps in the dungeon, and I’m left wondering which prison is worse… the one holding my body, or my mind. We move around one another like a sun and a moon, revolving in an axis of confused lust and torment until the truth is distorted, and the thing I once feared becomes that which I crave my vile addiction, somehow so exquisite. He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are. I don’t belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse… At least, I don’t think I do. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it.īut not me. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. Where they send you when the world thinks you’re dead.
