Publisher's Summary

Something wicked is moving in the shadows of London....

In the underground world of glitzy illegal auctions, fast cars, and stolen magical artifacts, John "Dom" Domenici knows he's out of his depth. But he needs the job at Kempthorne & Co like he needs to breathe. The alternative - going back to the organized crime gangs of London's East End - is unthinkable.

So when Alexander Kempthorne, boss of Kempthorne & Co Artifact Retrieval Agency, wants him on a special case to track down an illegal artifact dealer, Dom can't say no.

It shouldn't matter that Kempthorne's world is full of deadly secrets. It shouldn't matter that the billionaire is sexy as sin, and it really shouldn't matter how there's an American agent stalking Dom, an American who knows more than he should about Dom's case, including the real reason Alexander Kempthorne hired Dom.

The only thing that really matters to Dom is solving the case and finding the artifact dealer. Because there are worse things in London than a conflicted billionaire and a trigger-happy American. Something wicked is stalking London's streets, and if Dom doesn't stop it, its shadows will rise and consume them all.

Contains mature themes.

Dramatic and Action-Packed

A fun, sexy adventure packed with action and magic, this is a great book for anyone looking to start a series where everything is complicated and the stakes are always raised.

Dom is an private agent with a dark past who helps track down dangerous magical artifacts. Things get complicated when a handsome stranger arrives, bringing a conspiracy with him.

Dom, the main character, is snarky and pure trouble. He has a serious attitude but manages to get his job done, with a little help. He’s easily tempted by power and danger, and much of the book’s scenes revolve around attempting to avoid temptation. That temptation also comes in the form of his boss and the mysterious stranger.

TWISTED, PRETTY THINGS has a surprising amount of romantic tension. Dom is torn between two men and seems to enjoy toeing the line of who he wants more.

The plot has plenty of moving parts and sometimes it can be a little hard to follow. It also has a large amount of melodrama, though that does ensure the stakes remain raised. There is spice, action, and twists, so a reader is never bored.

This is a great urban fantasy book for anyone looking to enjoy over a weekend. Check it out if you’re interested!

Contemporary Urban Fantasy

If you like the Rivers of London series you will most probably enjoy to this series. Less banter and less race diversity than RoL, but the feel of the magic is about the same.

Raced through it in one day, now off to by the next one in the series.
