Twisted Desire is a short, captivating, and riveting novella that introduced the Watcher and Titan Worlds. It’s a great blend of contemporary and paranormal.

I very much enjoyed and savored Twisted Desires. Rhys gets stumped trying to hack into an organization and decides he needs to contact an old buddy. Parker, works for the Titan organization, has worked with Rhys in the past, and once Rhys tells him what’s up, his interest is piqued. Locke, a new Titan member tags along with Parker to help.

These three work well together. I enjoyed learning a little about each character. During the investigation these three didn’t expect to run into one of the scientist, Meghan, that work's at the company and who is the only witness to a murder. During all of this Rhys has to keep the paranormal aspect of the investigation a secret from all the humans.

We get a little mystery, a little suspense, a little action, and a little set up for a couple to maybe one day get a full book. It was a marvelous blend of genres and a great introduction to both worlds.

Rated: 4 Stars

I picked up this book because it was part of the Titan World series. I've never read anything by this author, so this was a treat. I enjoyed the story and the characters, even going and downloading the first book of the Watcher series. My only problem with the book was that I couldn't figure out who's story it was. I thought it was going to be Rhys then Jude, but it wasn't either of theirs. I knew it wasn't Parker's story since he already had one. So, it came down to Locke. But there wasn't much to their romance, but that's okay considering the story made up for that fact.

Sharon Kay did an excellent job of combining her supernatural existence from the Watcher's Kiss series to Cristin Harber’s human inhabited Titan World series. The characters worked well together while the paranormal presence is never revealed to the human characters. TWISTED DESIRE takes place in contemporary Chicago.

I love that the story included Rhys MacLeod from book four in the Watches’ Kiss series, AWAKENING KISS. I really enjoyed that book and was glad to read more about his character. I thought it was clever how Sharon Kay brought the Titan World characters into the story. Rhys and Jude are investigating the murder of human that was killed by a Deserati female. It leads them to Dayton Diagnostics. Rhys is an excellent hacker, but he cannot get into the company’s impressive firewalls. He calls in his human friend from Titan Group, Parker Black, to help with the task. Parker and his partner Locke Oliver head to Chicago to help Rhys out.

While on the job, they meet witness, Megan O’Rourke, who helps with the investigation. Megan and Locke hit it off, having great chemistry. The scheme they uncover at Dayton Diagnostics is crazy. It was interesting to see the supernatural versus human side of things unfold as Rhys and Jude try to keep their world a secret. The story is full of non-stop action and numerous twists. I enjoyed the characters. The story was well-written and clever. It had a great ending. It was a wonderful collaboration of two series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Twisted Desire by Sharon Kay

When I saw this novella listed on NetGalley I wanted it. Why? I enjoy reading Sharon Kay’s books and was eager to see what this one might be about. I had not a clue that it was a melding of two different worlds and though I have not read even one story in The Titans series I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The Watchers are pulled into solving a murder in Chicago because their world and the human world have rules that must not be crossed and someone from their world has murdered a human. With the hunt on and hacker skills needed Parker, a human from the Titan group, is called in to help. There is a bit of romance mixed in with the locating and capture of the murderer and a bit of catching up with characters that no doubt have been in previous books of both series.

I came away wanting to read more by Ms Kay but also wanting to find out who the Titans are.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. This is my honest review.
