Michel’s Review

Warped by Emma James is BRILLIANT!

INTENSE…DARK…UNPREDICTABLE…CONSUMING… IT IS UNDENIABLY WARPED !

OMG… I don’t know what to say… this book blew me away!  The moment I opened Warped, I was expecting a recap of Wrenched before the second part of this story progressed.  Rather than getting a recap, the reader is drawn into the the mind of Cezar Pavel. Cezar is the master of the brutal game that controls Whispers fate.

The introduction of Cezar Pavel is gut wrenching.  The man is truly warped in every sense. He has no conscience.  He has no fear.  He has complete power and wields it with cruelty and brutality.  He is not a player in the game, he is the ruler of the game.  He leaves no room for chance.  He is the king.  He is the master of the game.

The players of this game have no idea who Cezar Pavel is.  They have no idea of his connection to Whisper or his obsession with her.  They have no idea of how far his reach is or to what lengths he will go to exert his will.  They are operating blindly in a deadly game where time is at the utmost importance.

After Edge learns the truth about Whisper’s involvement in his father’s life he has more than regrets.  She was an innocent woman, a victim.  He shot her in cold blood and enabled her captors to easily take her.  He should of known his father was reaching beyond the grave to destroy both his and Whisper’s lives.  Although he’s not surprised by his father’s cruelty beyond the grave, he doesn’t understand the reasons behind the sick game he is playing.  There has to be more behind the obvious picture in front of him.  His father may have meant for him to kill Whisper, but why?  What was he hiding?

Edge was shot in the foot when Whisper was taken.  His injuries are putting a kink into finding Whisper.  The only thing he has to go on is the fact that Whisper has his phone.  The only help he has is an old woman, Miss Catherine, and her instincts.  The men that swore to protect Whisper at all costs have gone missing.

With every clue and lead, they are met with death and destruction.  The messes left behind leave no clues as to who is behind it all. He has no idea of what he is dealing with. Time is running out and Whisper has been missing for over a week.  It’s time to call in reinforcements, the Soulless Bastards.

Whisper lived in captivity all her life.  She had a taste of freedom.  She had a new life with family and friends.  She will not become a slave again.  She will do everything in her power to survive or she will die before she allows herself to be owned once again.  She has to keep her wits and will to survive.  It’s the only thing she can depend on.   Hope is running out.

Can Edge find Whisper before it’s too late?  Cliffhanger!

I could not put this book down.  The plot is extremely complex and the web became more tangled.  New characters were introduced and it was impossible to determine where this story would go next.  I was on the edge of my seat and biting my nails.  The intensity level was through the roof.  It added more kinks to the overall story and made it become more intensified.  I can’t wait to see what comes next.  Contorted will release in November of 2016.

Warped was the perfect title and brilliant addition to the Hell’s Bastard series by Emma James.

Michel’s Review

Wow!  Emma James has joined my favorite authors list and is definitely my favorite new author of 2015.  I was blown away by her Men of Ocean Beach books.  I was excited to see that she had a new series releasing that had a biker theme.  In my mind I was expecting an emotional type of story rather than a dark thriller.  Emma James does dark just as well as she does emotional.

Wrenched took me by complete surprise.  I was expecting a story that revolved around the  Hell’s Bastard MC.  What the reader got was much more complex.

Whisper is a young woman that has been held in depraved captivity since her infant years.  She has never experienced a normal, loving life.  She has been a victim all her life.  Rather than letting her life circumstances beat her down, she allowed it to strengthen her for the day when she was either freed or dead.  In all reality it looked like death was going to be the ultimate ending for her.  Freedom comes at an unexpected moment but not without a price.  Now she is a young woman that is lost in the world.  She has no past and could very well have no future.  But she’s free.  She has found new people who care for her and are watching her back.

Edge is the most brutal enforcer in the Hell’s Bastard MC.  He’s the judge, jury, and executioner.  He is one of the most feared men in his dark world.  Edge didn’t become this brutal and lethal man by choice.  He had a horrific childhood in which he escaped.  He vowed he would one day return and dispense his brand of justice on his father.  Fate took that away from him.  His father died and it was not by his hand.  His father screwed him over one more time in his death  when he left the whore, Whisper, his entire estate except for the $100 he left his natural born son.  Edge is hunting down Whisper.  She took his inheritance.  It’s not about the money.  It’s about the theft of his justice.  His justice is going to knock on Whisper’s door.

As the old saying goes “read between the lines” and “all is not black and white” definitely applies in this story.  All is not how it seems.  There is a more tangled plot than a depraved man destroying two young lives.  This depraved man was playing a game of chess and in the end, his king will not be taken.  He had the foresight to destroy them both in his death.

Wrenched ended on a major cliffhanger that left me chilled to the bone.

Emma James created a complex plot that could be described as a tangled web.  Wrenched was just the beginning and introduction to a very twisted complex story.  The writing is brilliant.  I believe that once the Hell’s Bastard Series is complete, it will easily be a 6 Star series.

Wrenched is a superb dark thriller!
