Description: From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes a riveting new thriller about a writer desperate to make a comeback who realizes that success may cost more than he can afford to pay when a stranger arrives at his door.

George is bitter. As he should be. Once a household name, George is dying to make a comeback, and death may be the only option left to get the public's attention. Ask anyone, his life is unraveling at the seams. Meanwhile, his new apprentice is everything he is not. 

The enigmatic man his publisher sends to help is young and ambitious, with looks that could kill, and possibly do.

When George discovers that his apprentice's talent extends beyond fixing broken plots, that his winning formula may, in fact, be a result of making the crimes in his novels come to life, George has to ask himself how much he is willing to overlook to achieve mainstream success.

Perfectly paced, The Book Doctor is an electrifying psychological thriller about a life's work, obsession, and the dangerous places ambition can take you. Full of enough tension and twists to make even the most seasoned suspense reader break out in a cold sweat, it keeps you guessing until the very last page.


Hello Readers.

Why in the world have I never read anything by this author prior to this book? People recommended books to me and I purchased some for my Kindle but have not read any of them yet. This book was brought to my attention and I decided to read and review it. Seemed like the perfect book to introduce me to the author's work. 

I was right. This book was absolutely incredible. The first few pages demanded that I put down all other books and focus on this one. As someone that reads three to seven books at a time, that is really something. 

The characters were intense. The scenarios left me on the edge of my seat. There were some moments that took my breath. WOW.  Just wow!

I am rating this book Five Blue Books because I will be reading every single thing linked to this author now. This book took over my thoughts when I was not reading it. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Something Twisted by Ace Gray - Release

Something Twisted by Ace Gray
A Twisted World Series Novel
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: May 28, 2020
Cover Design: Talia at Book Cover Kingdom
I’d spent my life as a plaything. A toy to be used by powerful and deadly men in whatever way they pleased. So I was just as surprised as anyone else that I had feelings left. Feelings that lead me to fight for true love while damning myself.

And that’s just where this story begins.
Desperate and alone I turned back to my childhood home. The first wicked place I’d known with the darkest villain among them. My stepfather. But I could weather his storm in exchange for safety. I had to.
What I didn’t expect to find was Niall McDonough. The only man I’d ever really loved had reappeared only to become one of them. Someone ruthless and cruel. He wants to ruin me. As my stepfather’s savage soldier he might just do it.
But then again, twelve years ago a fortune teller predicted I’d need just such a soldier to save both my heart and soul.

****This book contains graphic sex, violence, uncomfortable sexual encounters, and dub con. It's intended for mature audiences, over 18 only****

"This dark masterpiece by Ace Gray couldn't have a better name. Because Something Twisted delivered a story that's fascinating, raw, angsty, maddening and beyond my wildest imagination. Ace Gray proved that my limits can be stretched and crossed." ~PP's Bookshelf review
"Oh my gosh, I seriously don't know where to start. This book was everything! Ace has a way with words, she makes you really connect with the characters. Deirdre and Niall have a complicated love story. This book is not rainbows and butterflies. It is dark and raw, and I loved every minute of it." ~Shayla, Goodreads review
"Ace Gray...oh Ace Gray!!!! I can’t tell you how much I love this world she has created. A world filled with villains..monsters...dark heroes and soul deep love. Ace Gray speaks to my dark little heart..I fell in love with the very first book and she did not disappoint with Something Twisted!!" ~Paperback Princess review
"It is dark and twisted and depraved. It will hurt your heart and soul constantly, to the point where even breathing becomes painful at some points. It's hard and brutal and yet these little rays of light peek through even now and again to allow you to breath a little easier.There will be points where you want to give up but don't, it's worth it all in the end." ~Tamara, Goodreads review
“My, my, this is interesting. Perhaps Deirdre is an appropriate name after all.”
“What the shit is going on here?” My mind was clearing. Sort of.
“I’m reading your future, darling. Your dismal and sorrowful future.”
I felt like I’d been hit. Hard. And I knew what it was like to be punched, slapped, kicked… I tried to shake off the list. 
“What does it say?” My words were shaky, no matter how I tried to steady them. 
“You will cause much unrest in this little corner of the world.”
The hair on the back of my neck stood up. No, was on the tip of my tongue. My mom had gotten me out of a life of mobsters and murderers. I wasn’t an Ulster anymore. I wouldn’t be. I was just another teenaged girl wondering about her future. 
“Rivers of blood. Chaos and pain. Betrayal all at your hand,” she mused in partial phrases. “You will need a soldier at your side if you wish to be free of it all.”
“A soldier?” I swallowed, sorrow swelling in my heart. 
“Someone to wage war. Someone ruthless and brutal and savage.” She arched her eyebrow. “If you don’t find him, you both end up dead. Just like the legend.”
I rolled my eyes with a wild grunt and shoved up from the table. “Convenient legend,” I snarked under my breath.
“Heed my words or don’t, it makes no matter to me. It’s your fate and your fate alone that you have to face.” She shrugged before unwinding to stand. Incense swirled around her again as she walked toward the back corner of the room. 
I shoved up from the stupid pillows on the stupid floor of the stupid Irish gypsy and started to stomp off.
“Today, lightning will strike, Deirdre of the sorrows.” Her voice seemed far away, too far away. “Take that as a sign of what’s been set in motion.”


Ace Gray is a best selling author, self-proclaimed troublemaker and connoisseur of both the good life and fairy tales. After a life-long love affair with both books, she undertook writing the novel she wanted to read. Ten books later, she's gotten to live in the world of billionaires, twisted murders, and sweet small towns. She's made her heart race both with suspense and serious swoon and wouldn't trade one minute, one word of it. 

When she's not writing, she owns a taco truck in a ski town in Colorado even though she can't cook a lick (that's all her husband). She loves paddle boarding, snowboarding, camping, basically anything outside... and hosting dinner parties (though she's only in it for the drinks). Oh, and of course, writing more words.
Ace is the author of Strictly Business, Bad For Business, Family Business, Twisted Fate, Twisted Death, A Twisted Love Story, Twisted Secrets, Of Smoke & Cinnamon: A Christmas Story, Pretty Young Things, All The Letters I'll Never Send You and All The Letters I've Ever Read. These titles are available on Amazon.
