Twisted Fate by R.E. Bond is a dark romance reverse harem novel. This is the second book in the Watch Me Burn Series.
The book does come with a warning "The series contains dark content such as abuse and rape. It also has m/m scenes throughout. If you are triggered by sensitive content or cursing, this series is not for you."
R.E. Bond knocked the second book in her debut series out of the park. I couldn't put the book down and binged in one sitting. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster that I never wanted to get off.
I loved that you get Rory, Tyler, Jensen, Lukas, Caden, Skeeter, Diesel, and Slash's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
This book is steamy and dark in all the good ways. A MUST READ!!!!
The book ends on an amazing cliffhanger! I can't wait for the next book in the series Beautiful Deceit to be released on January 10, 2021 so I can get more Rory and her men!

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

This part was a bit better than the first book in the series, I dont know if its because I got used to the writing style or what.
Plot-wise, it was a lot better than the first book, where there was some semblance of a plot present.
Unfortunately, complaints from the first book still stand; it read like a wattpad book, the relationships are all over the place, people are suddenly falling in love when they've barely hung out enough to develop a relationship.
That also goes to friendships as well; when one of the characters died, it was all like, "omg how will *blank* deal with it, they were best friends," when we've never, not once, seen them interact other than in passing?
Also, dont even get me started on how childish the characters are? I dont feel like the author has done enough research to accurately write these characters with all the supposed trauma they carry. It's either that, or their writing is just not strong enough to portray the characters how they want them to be portrayed. The characters just seem very 2 dimensional to me, which is a disappointment, because I wouldve loved to empathise with them.
I dont know what's gonna happen in the next book... am I gonna read it? Probably? Am I gonna enjoy it? Probably not? Why will I read it? I have no clue, maybe because the potential malexmale relationships in the book intrigue me?

what a ride!!
Seriously Rory’s story continues & is such a hot mess but in the best way!! This is so dramatic & the love plot is really rough & heavy but it’s just kind of the path they all have to take to get to where they need to be!! This one hurt though & was super emotionallll! I need to be healed soon!!

I'm not sure if I want to continue with this series. Rory really annoyed me with the way she treated others, and I lost interest a lot in this one.

Tear jerker
This book made me cry so bad. Rory makes beautiful bonds with the people in her life in another very well written book in this series. Once again an amazingly written book by a very talented author.

Frustratingly good
Rory and the guys are so perfectly imperfect and I love them, but also want to shake them for how frustrated they make me.
Book 2 just keeps getting better as the story continues to get more complicated. A new rival gang, new characters to love to hate, heart racing ups and downs.
It was well written, and intriguing. Kept my interest so much I could not put it down! Can’t wait to star book 3.
