About this listen

Born at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse to the head of the CDC and the leader of the new world, Jackson Star has always known that he would one day rule. Only the Stars’ plans go much deeper than simply keeping humanity alive, and the evil that sleeps inside Jackson is darker than even his father knows. Everyone in the settlement is a puppet, and everyone has a purpose in the Stars’ master plan, starting with Megan James.

But as Jackson and his father creep closer to achieving their goals at the CDC, things slowly begin to unravel. Meg isn’t cooperating the way she should be, and the presence of a new person in her life is threatening to blow their plan apart. Jackson must now decide how to deal with the girl he has spent the last nine years trying to manipulate, as well as the family she has left and the man who has taken up residence in her life. To complicate matters even more, the darkness inside Jackson has gotten increasingly persistent, making it difficult for him to control it at times and leading him to wonder if he shouldn’t just give in to his urges once and for all.

Twisted Mind is a dark and disturbing look into Jackson’s brain, and the inner-workings of the CDC. It will give readers a glimpse of the future, as well as answer questions that have plagued us from the very beginning of the Broken World series.

This book is from Jackson Star's point of view, and definately not for the faint of heart. I don't know how Jackson was able to hide his true nature from Meg for so long, he does make a very sinister villain, and she does seem surprisingly naive! I was on the edge of my seat, desperately hoping for Donaghy to survive Jackson's plans, and for the James family to get away unscathed! I really enjoyed this book, it was very dark, intense and full of suspense.

I received this book via a promo code and this is my voluntary review.
This is a side story of the Twisted World series and it doesn't lack for impact, you get the sense from Meg's POV in book one that Jackson is one twisted dude, actually spending time living in his head though, really hits home the danger that Team James are in. He's insane, sadistic and even worse than his father.

Jackson is completely irredeemable, and an utter sociopath who has played Meg since the beginning like a fiddle. The mental manipulation he's been doing and his desire to get hold of her cousin Charley is terrifying! I do sort of wish that although Heather Firth has been amazing narrating this story, that a male voice artist had done the role of Jackson, just to help differentiate his character more from Donaghy. I did skip some scenes that were just too much for me listen to- his version of sex for example.. too much!

I consider this novella essential listening after Twisted World.. and if you havent read twisted world, turn around, and go get it!

Most of this is similar events that happened in book 1 but it is from Jackson's point of view. I think this is a great in between novel because it really helps us understand the calculated actions of the CDC. It helps us gain perspective of how awful of a person Jackson is and just really helps definitively answer what is really going on behind the scenes that are eluded to in book 1 but that aren't entirely spelled out. Great in between novella.

As with book 1, I am still incredibly impressed with Heather Firth's talent as an up and coming narrator and especially with the difference in her voice from other performances. I feel like she did a great job personifying Jackson in this novella and was able to capture his twisted personality.

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Adds to the Series!
