Wretched has a Wizard of Oz spin and I enjoyed Evelina as the villain. She's been running her father's drug empire, but been given little credit for it. A one-night encounter with a very sexy man who then shows up as her father's right-hand man, leaves her with a lot of questions. 
There's no love lost between the Westerly family, but they'll stop at nothing to have each other's backs. At least that's what Eveline thought. Until it was her back on the line. 
Definitely enjoyed the characters in this one, the tension between Evelina and Daddy's new pet boy, and all the twists and turns.

I dnefed this books, at page 275. 
1. There is no plot. 
2. A grown **s men calling women b*tches is a ick for me.
3. I don't care for these charachters...
4. THE WRITTING IS AWFUL!
5. Okay smut scenes almost every chapter. Also the gun smut scene like no please !
6. Just a waste of time read something else.

This was a wonderful re-telling of the classic wizard of OZ. Character names are different and the setting is completely new. I loved how imaginative it was and the character strain of emotions was intense! Love, love, love this book!
