My brother was right. I always wanted my own Willow Girl.
What happened on that island didn’t break me.
It twisted me.
Corrupted me.
Made me into a monster.
Although, I guess it’s true what she says. You can’t become something that wasn’t inside you all along.
This was always going to happen.
I was always going to take Amelia Willow.
History and destiny sealed her fate. Sealed both of ours.
For months, I’ve been waiting.
Watching.
Preparing.
And tonight, everything will change.
Because tonight, I’ll collect my own Willow Girl.
Author’s Note: Twisted is a standalone spinoff of the Dark Legacy Duet. No cliffhanger!
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Twisted is a spin off from Natasha Knight’s The Dark Legacy Duet. It says you can read Twisted as a standalone, but I feel like if I hadn’t read Taken and Torn first I would have been kind of lost. Things are talked about in Twisted that happened in Taken and Torn and you see those character’s at some points in this book. Plus I feel like it would help you to understand the Willow Girls legacy. Or I assume that is what you would call it. More like a curse I guess though now that I think about it. This is the story of Gregory and what has been happening to him since he has left the island and boy oh boy is he a damaged man. However with that said I so really liked Gregory. We also see Amelia who is Helena’s sister and a Willow Girl who has been suffering since the night Helena was picked. She draws that night and can not get it out of her head. She has certain feelings about it and has no idea how to process that. She knows she is being watched and she is about to come face to face with the man doing it. Gregory has come for her but he doesn’t know that she is about to be taken by someone else who misled her. This is the beginning of quiet the journey for these two and I loved taking it with them. I loved getting to see both of them open up and grow and I loved how they were together eventually. This is such a great book. It is dark and gritty and everything that you love about a Nathasha Knight book. You do not want to miss this one or Taken and Torn for that matter. I have devoured all these books and can not recommend them highly enough.

Excerpt
Prologue
Amelia
He says that together they twisted him.
Made him the monster he’s become.
But you can’t become something that wasn’t inside you all along.
A tear drops to the sketchbook on my lap, the blob smearing the lead. I wipe it away with the tip of my finger and watch the stain spread to the edge of the page.
I can’t seem to stop drawing that night.
The night when the Scafoni brothers stalked into our home and we were made to wear those rotting, disgusting sheaths and forced to stand on those ancient blocks as Sebastian Scafoni, first-born bastard, looked us over like we were cattle.
I can’t stop drawing the look on his face when he saw Helena.
Even if she wasn’t bound like she was, she’d have stood out.
She always thought herself the ugly duckling but she’s the most beautiful of all. She’s special. Always was. Different from us. And so much stronger.
Crap.
I swipe the back of my hand across my nose and listen to the sound of tears drop fat and heavy onto the page and this time when I lay my hand on the sketch, it’s to smear the wet across like maybe I can wipe away that night. Rub it off the page. Erase it out of history like it never happened.
“Oh, now look what you’ve done,” he says. His voice is deep and low, and I swear I can feel it as much as hear it.
He takes my hand with his gloved one and pulls it away.
“Ruined it.”
I look at him. I finally make myself look at him.
“I hate you.”
He grins. Shrugs a shoulder, his grip growing infinitesimally harder.
I glance at my palm—it’s black from the pencil—and look down at the page in front of me.
He’s right. It’s ruined.
But it doesn’t matter. I have dozens like it.
Hundreds.
Thousands.
I can’t stop drawing that night.
Can’t stop it from happening.
Can’t stop the Scafoni bastards from walking into our lives, upending everything. Coming into our home like kings, like they owned the place.
Although, I guess they did.
They owned everything. Our house. Our land. Our parents.
My sister.
Me.
I force myself to meet Gregory Scafoni’s dark eyes with their strange turquoise specks and wonder how I’d ever thought he was an angel.
My angel.
My savior.
When all he is, is the devil.
