Today I’m excited to participate in the Blog Tour of ‘Twisted Circles’ by Claire Contreras. This is a Romantic Suspense novel and the second book in the Secret Society series, but can be read as a standalone.
When I saw the sign up for ‘Twisted Circles’ a little while ago, I was immediately intrigued with this story. And when I saw that this book is the second book in a series, but can be read as a standalone.. I knew I wanted to read it. So when I got approved to read it for the Blog Tour, I was super excited and started reading as soon as possible.
In ‘Twisted Circles’ we meet Eva. Eva wakes up in a mental institution not knowing who she is or what she has is doing there. A police officer is telling her all this stuff she simple can’t remember herself. But what choice has she other than believing him? Eva supposedly has a sister. And when she sees her, she can’t deny the fact that they look exactly the same. But how can Eva forget about her twin?
This story was definitely unlike any other book I read recently. It’s a romantic suspense, with little on the romance part. There’s secret societies and a lot of weird stuff is happening. And this book has no slow introduction, we start right in the middle of things. This book was definitely very intriguing. For almost the entire book I didn’t know what to expect or what was going to happen.
What did I mean with little on the romance? Well, there is some romance in this book.. but it was very clearly not the main part of the book. I honestly don’t even really know if I liked the romance part. The connection with Eva and Adam, wasn’t something I could really ‘feel’ and although I liked them, I didn’t really love them.
As a standalone book I definitely think I ‘got’ everything. I didn’t feel like I was missing important information. But I do wonder if things might have been less confusing for me. There were moments in this book where I just had to reread a chapter because I just didn’t really understand what was happening.
Overall, ‘Twisted Circles’ is an interesting, exciting read that keeps you hooked to the pages. I for one just wanted to keep on reading so I could find out what the heck was going on. But it was not the book for me. I simple like a bit more romance and a little less complex storylines.

“I don’t know.”
“What do you . . . ” I shook my head, covering my face. “You’re not going to tell me. You wouldn’t tell me. You’re the president of this freakish cult. Of course you wouldn’t tell me.”
“I don’t know.” His voice carried and brought my gaze back to his. “I really don’t know.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“That’s too bad.” He shook his head. “It doesn’t change the fact that I’m not lying.”
“I should have left with your brother.”
“My brother?” His expression turned serious. He glanced away for a long moment, staring at the portrait beside us. I had no idea who it was, but it was a man wearing a black little hat and a cross. A priest of sorts. Adam looked at me again. “My brother can’t help you.”
“And you can?” I nodded toward the back of the room. “You won’t even tell me why I just saw what I saw.”
“I don’t know the answer to that.” His jaw set.
“Your brother said you were going to bury me.”
“What else did Nolan decide to tell you?”
“Not much.”
“He shouldn’t have spoken to you. He knows better.”
“Free country and all.”
“Not in here.” Adam’s lip tilted. “You’re under our command in here.”
“Are you going to do to me what they’re doing to that woman?”
“No.”
“Are you going to bury me?” I swallowed, waiting.
“Yes.”
Yes. No hesitation.
“Are . . . are you going to kill me?”
“No.”
“You’re going to bury me alive?”
“Yes.”
Again, no hesitation. My heart skipped. Where was I and who were these people? I realized that I could scream, I could punch him, I could try to run, but I wouldn’t get very far.
“Is that part of the initiation?” I licked my lips, mentally preparing myself.
“Yes.”
“Were you buried?”
“We all were.”
“Has anyone died?” My lip quivered again. I blinked my eyes, more tears fell. I wiped them quickly.
He didn’t answer, but with the way his lips set into a hard line, he didn’t have to.
