BLOG TOUR and GIVEAWAY: Twisted by NL Greene


Book Info-
Title: Twisted
By: N.L. Greene
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 13th, 2013




Blurb-
Growing up isn’t always easy.  But for most teenage girls, they can rely on their best friend to help them get through the process.  A BFF is something that is truly treasured and completely irreplaceable.  You share all of your secrets, and are loyal and honest with each other, even when you’re acting just a little bit crazy.  You have each other’s backs no matter what and you form a bond that is virtually unbreakable.

At least that’s what normal teenage girls experience.

Nat and Mel have been bestie’s since childhood and Nat has followed her blindly ever since.  But as Nat’s friendship with Mel begins to lead her down the wrong path, she starts to question the sincerity of their relationship.  Nat starts to see Mel’s manipulative, deceitful ways become more focused on her.  Will Natalie hold on tight to the friendship she’s had her entire life, no matter what it cost her?  Or will she let her heart lead her to a relationship that’s not so twisted.




About the Author-
N.L. Greene, who is 1/2 of the author duo Riana Lucas, has decided to venture outside of the Fantasy world that she and her best friend created with Poppy and The Deadly Flowers Series to write a few books on her own.  While she loves working with her best friend, writing solo has allowed her to explore interest that had solely been her own.  She spends a lot of time reading her favorite authors which range all over the place and in every genre, but spends just as much time with her husband and two daughters, traveling, shopping, and playing video games.  Nichole was born in Pennsylvania but grew up in Florida, where she and her high school sweetheart live with their two children.

My Review:

I was lucky enough to meet NL Greene at UtopYA this past June. She was very sweet and kind, so when this tour came up I had to join!

What I liked:

I loved how NL brought memories of my high school days. NL's descriptions of Nat's feelings as she lets her best friend, Mel, dominate her life. 

Nat is just trying to find her way in life and she thinks her best friend Mel is the best advice that she has. Mel is a constant presence in Nat's life since they were in young. I really didn't like Mel. She wasn't a 'bully' to Nat at first, but you could tell there was something deceiving about her too. But, I loved how NL just kept some of that under the surface and seeing everything from Nat's POV.

I really enjoyed, Ash, Nat's other friend. She was a breathe of fresh air in the fog of Mel and Nat's friendship. I REALLY like Miguel too. That protective guy that every girl wants and, of course, he is hot!! 

What I didn't like:

The end of the book was a bit rushed. I wish that I could have seen Nat's finally transformation a bit more, It's not like I didn't enjoy the ending, because I did. I was hoping for more details. 

Overall:

This is a GREAT BOOK! I would recommend to all!

ABOUT THE BOOK:



Maya Anderson has faced more than her share of tragedy and heartbreak. For the past six years she’s constantly been on the move with her mom. When another disaster strikes, she finds herself back in her childhood hometown of Beaumont, living with her older sister for her senior year.
A chance meeting reacquaints her with Ben McCaffey, a long-forgotten classmate from her past. After the death of his girlfriend, Ben has become a social outcast. He’s despised by some and feared by most.
Determined to become Ben’s friend, Maya begins to break through his layers of emotional protection. It isn’t long before they realize that they both have secrets in their pasts. As the line between dealing with grief and struggling with a desire for revenge begins to fade, the secrets that draw them together may be what will ultimately tear them apart. Because the closer Maya gets to Ben, the more dangerous her situation becomes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

I live in Minnesota with my two sons, two cats and our Rottweiler named Daisy.
 I have been a book-addict my entire life. I have always enjoyed reading and writing stories just for fun. In 2012 I decided to try self-publishing. To my delight and dismay, my debut novel took off. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to write full-time.
 If I'm not writing or spending time with my kids, I'm most likely reading.

Twisted by Amity Hope and Hope Juliot

Goodreads description:


Maya Anderson has faced more than her share of tragedy and heartbreak. For the past six years she’s constantly been on the move with her mom. When another disaster strikes, she finds herself back in her childhood hometown of Beaumont, living with her older sister for her senior year.

A chance meeting reacquaints her with Ben McCaffey, a long-forgotten classmate from her past. After the death of his girlfriend, Ben has become a social outcast. He’s despised by some and feared by most.

As the line between dealing with grief and struggling with a desire for revenge begins to fade, the secrets that draw them together may be what will ultimately tear them apart. Because the closer Maya gets to Ben, the more dangerous her situation becomes.

Mary's Review:

My wonderful friend on Twitter@JennNun recommended this book to me.  I am so glad that she did!

Best Part:  The whole book was amazing! I could not put it down.  Maya and Ben are amazing characters and my heart really ached for them and their stories.  I cannot tell you how much I wanted to actually "protect" Ben and Maya throughout the book.  From the moment I started reading until the moment I finished the book I cried, laughed (at times) and wanted Ben and Maya to be together forever.

Not so great about Book:  I can honestly say this book was great.  There is nothing wrong with this book at all! I could reread a 100 times and never tire of it!
