Short
Summary of the book:
I read this series out of the usual order as
I read the third book first. Fortunately, this series allows you to do so as
the books are stand-alone within the series. The earlier books are, however,
referenced within the next ones, so I benefitted from reading the first book
before this one.
In this book, we meet Liz, a young social
worker. Although she had a great upbringing, she ended up in an abusive
relationship ten years earlier. Now, her abuser is set free from prison. Who is
stalking Liz? Is it her previous boyfriend or someone else? Will the stalker get
to her?
What
I liked about the book:
The book was action-packed and I couldn’t put
it down.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
I enjoyed the entire book.
My
favourite bits in the book:
The unexpected twists and turns.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
I enjoyed the entire book.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is the second book in the Friends in
Crisis series. Although I read the third book before the first and second, I
couldn’t stop myself from returning to the third again after and re-reading it
again. It was as good the second time around as the first.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This is a great thriller with romance mixed
in. It’s not quite in the same league as the Karen Rose books, but it isn’t far
off.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:
|
Children |
No |
|
Young
Adult |

Adult |
Yes |
If
you like suspense, crime and romance, this book
may be the book for you.
I’m
certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.
Book
Description by Author:
Will a twisted obsession from the past
smother the flames of new love before it starts?
Liz Randiza, a dedicated social worker, has
hardly recovered from an abusive relationship when she meets Matthew, the
handsome brother of her client. While all her instincts tell her to stay away
from him, there’s something in Matthew she just can’t resist, and she falls for
him. A mistake she will soon regret.
The real nightmare begins when Liz’s
ex-boyfriend is released from prison and the unresolved issues in their
relationship begin haunting her. She is pulled deep into a web of terror and
anxiety. Soon, her worst nightmare becomes reality and everyone in her inner
circle, including Matthew, may be in danger. People around her begin dying, and
Liz realises that she and Matthew will be next.
Twisted Obsession is the story of a helper
who becomes a victim. It’s the story of a past that never leaves you alone. And
the only question remains is whether Liz and Matthew live long enough to get
their happy ending.
