Publisher's Summary:
Born of a vampire father to a human mother, Elizabeth Bandores' life was never going to be normal, so she can't image why she thinks starting college will be any different.
Having grown up in the affluent Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles and desperate to escape, she decides on the small college town of Sage Springs. With dreams of being a writer, she joins the college newspaper and is introduced to blond, confident Flynn Matthews, Sage Springs' rising swim star.
But a carnival has set up in the small town, and the boy running the Waltzer catches her eye. Dark-haired, leather-jacketed Riley is rude, with an air of danger. Elizabeth can't help but notice him. And when an accident thrusts them together, she discovers he's noticed her, too.
Sage Springs isn't the quiet little town Elizabeth had hoped for. The forests bordering the town harbour a dark secret - one some of the residents have been trying to protect, and the leaders of the carnival have her set in their sights....
Members Reviews:
Riley and Finn
I'm not a huge carny fan but I do love vampires. I liked this book and the main character. Riley and Finn were both great love interests. There could have been more character development though. I felt like everyone was one dimensional and would have loved to relate better. While a great book, some more development could have happened. Three glittery stars!
Definitely Twisted
This book was aptly named as "Twisted" from start to finish. Elizabeth was the odd man out in what had originally been planned for Sage Springs. Her desire to go somewhere she might be able to make friends and keep who she was a secret backfired in a big way. However, I loved how things worked out for her and Riley.
You'll love all the different twists in the story. Some so quickly hit that your head will spin and you'll be...."What just happened?" I highly recommend Marissa as a keeper for those who like it a little dark.
Good NA paranormal romantic suspense
I enjoyed this twist on the vampire genre. Young Elizabeth is a half vampire with some interesting talents who has moved across the country from her parents to go to college. There is a great deal of mysterious happenings at the small campus and Elizabeth finds herself in the middle of it all. With the traveling carnival in town to add more unusual characters, she is sucked into danger and sorcery, not academia.
The writing was good, no editing errors. I didn't feel as if I got to know Elizabeth or any of the characters very well because the plot was very fast paced.
There is one sex scene and some violence in this book. 3 stars
pleasantly surprised
Usually, I can figure out what happens next...I wasn't expecting the twist and turns in this book. It had me second guessing a couple of times(which I love!) It grabbed my attention right from the beginning and held it straight through. I can't wait to read book 2!
hard to put down
Loved it.. The story line grabbed me and I could not put it down! Am looking forward to the next book and others by this author
