A disappearance. A message written in blood. The past is done waiting…
Eden Davis came to Horizon Wellness Center searching for answers about her past.
After vanishing from her locked room, she’s found miles away in the woods-shot, restrained, and missing for hours with Caleb. Keir is left fighting for his life.
And back at the Center, written in blood, is a
The Time is Now
The FBI calls it attempted murder. The media calls it a scandal.
Neither explains what happened.
As Matt reopens the Lassiter girls’ cold case with ties to Camp Carroll, another alarming link is found to Eden’s past.
Dangerous secrets threaten their future, and no one can be trusted.
Roisin (pronounced Ro-sheen) is a writer, traveler, and proud book nerd. She believes there's nothing better than an icy drink, a killer music playlist, and a cozy place to snuggle up with a good book. You'll find her writing about broken people forming trauma bonds, and becoming family. Suspense/Thrillers were her first love, but Why Choose has become her favorite.
Third from the series and just as twisted as the first two
I have read the first two books from this series. They were pretty engaging and always ended with a cliffhanger. I sort of love them, so it didn't matter. This book again is multiple POV and so it is nice to get to know how each of the main protagonists feel.
For some reason my favorite is Luke/Matt. I have no idea why but I like him the best. Eden is getting on my nerves but not more than Blaine. He is wasting his life away, pretending to care. I hope he gets it together soon. Caleb is the weakest one so far but he did help Eden out when she was held hostage. So I feel he has redeemed himself. X is warming up and Kief is alright.
The plotline is being forwarded by introducing twists. It seems to be dragging many times. Since I am already invested in the story, I have to now read the last one!
Thank you to both Roisin Visser and Happily Booked PR for the arc copy of “Twisted Games”. I really appreciate this opportunity and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Twisted Games is the third book in the series. If you like having Multiple POVs, you love supporting cult survivors and you love Why choose/reverse harem books. You would definitely love this one! I really enjoyed reading this book a lot! I definitely enjoyed seeing Eden get more and more comfortable around the guys and each of their unique relationships with each other and Eden grow more and more. I love that it answered what happens after the cliffhanger of book two but I just have more and more questions after reading book three and that cliffhanger just is making me so anxious to find out what happens next for Eden and the rest of the characters. I definitely enjoyed the ride that Rosin took me on.
First and foremost! This series goes in order and ends on cliffhangers! If you haven't read the first two books go and read them first otherwise this review will contain spoilers!

"Eden's life has been a series of tragedies." - Anna
"Time is Now", what does that even mean?! Things have gotten progressively worse, and no one is coming forth with answers. Eden is missing and the guys are becoming more tangled within a dangerous web of lies and coverups. Something isn't right at the Wellness Center and the leak of the news regarding some issues is not helping anything! Media swarming in to get all the details while some are trying to cover their butts. . .
Matt/Luke decides it's time to reopen the cold case regarding the Lassiter twins. But as he sorts through the case and tracks down people to interview, he's finding all sorts of "odd" things. Getting closer to the truth is placing everyone in danger and two of the guys have seen or heard something they shouldn't have. Targets are being placed on individuals and new obstacles are arising. How will this all be concluded?! Is there such a thing as a happily ever after for really broken people?
"The world isn't the place I built it up to be in my head." - Caleb
This series is everything! We have the amazing psychological suspense and a why choose romance combined! The guys are also not shy of helping one another out especially when there's a pansexual and a bisexual within the group! Now do please read the TWs because this is a very dark romance with some heavy materials discussed.
The cliffhanger with the last installment was a doozy! Blaine's having to pick up the pieces while also trying to keep it together. He's coming to realize that his world has slowly broadened and he's forming connections and relationships he never thought he would have. But Blaine's struggling with the addiction of using things to help numb everything. Causing others to be concerned about him and more guilt to build within him.
Matt/Luke has decided it's time to follow the white rabbit and dive headfirst into a cold case. He knows there's something more going on and with the hint of a previous connection between X and Eden he cannot ignore that. There are too many coincidences happening for his liking and little pieces of the puzzle are clicking into place. As he unravels the Lassiter case, he's finding out there's a lot more going on than what was written down. . .
With this book be prepared to feel an array of strong emotions. Anything from heartbreak all the way to straight up anger, especially centering around a certain character. . . The author is doing such a fantastic job with this series, and I am on the edge of my seat! I want more and I am loving how the guys are slowly becoming closer and working out their differences with each other. I appreciate that they are going through adjustment periods and understanding one another's dynamics.
"Caleb likes French fries more than most people like their lives. He just might start praying to them." - Blaine
Caleb's character has truly grown on me and this right here. . .this solidified it! A lot of people when they read, they want to get candles with certain scents or have particular music playing. Not for me! When a food is mentioned, or a MC is enjoying a food I love I get a craving for that while I continue reading the book! Every time I get French fries I will be thinking of Caleb!
This book is still centered around cults and past traumas. With the multiple POVs we get to see firsthand experiences through flashbacks. A couple of the MCs deal with nightmares and PTSD. Violence, bloodshed, and injuries along with language. Mention of past suicides and an MC wishes to end their life, brief mention of a past dealing with a potential pedophile. Head injury and some complications that arise with that. Again, read through the TWs!
We get just a little more spice in this book then we did in the last one, but everyone's being complicated and dramatic! I mean there are some serious matters going on but still. There's teases of different pairings and ideas for a future date. MF, MMF, MFM action are in this book and some hints to potential MM action. One of the MCs is a voyeur. There are different burn rates happening within the why choose group.
We have another cliffhanger that will get you and have you needing the next installment! I really want to see how this all ends and if any of my theories are correct! I am going to be extremely sad when I have to say goodbye to this cast. Love the writing style and the suspense, still have a bit of a book hangover because of this read!
Enjoy the dark romance that deals with mental health and cults. Don't forget to give the author some stars!
Twisted Games by Roisin Visser is the kind of book that keeps you completely on edge from beginning to end. The suspense, the mystery, and the emotional tension all come together in a story that is impossible to put down.
From the very beginning, the story pulls you into Eden Davis’s world as she searches for answers about her past. Just when things seem uncertain, everything explodes into chaos. Eden disappears from a locked room only to be found miles away in the woods, injured, restrained, and surrounded by more questions than answers. The chilling message written in blood at the Center instantly raises the stakes and creates a sense of urgency that runs through the entire story.
What makes this book so gripping is the way the mystery slowly unfolds. Each new discovery adds another layer to the story and keeps you constantly guessing about what really happened and who can actually be trusted. The investigation surrounding the Lassiter girls’ cold case and the connections to Eden’s past add a deeper level of intrigue that makes the plot feel complex and incredibly well crafted.
The characters feel real and emotionally grounded, especially as they try to navigate fear, trauma, and the uncertainty of what is coming next. Watching them fight for answers while the danger continues to close in makes every chapter feel intense and meaningful.
Roisin Visser does an amazing job blending psychological suspense with emotional depth. The pacing is strong, the twists keep you guessing, and the atmosphere is filled with tension that makes it hard to stop reading.
This was an easy five star read for me. If you love suspenseful stories packed with mystery, dark secrets, and shocking revelations, Twisted Games is absolutely one you need to add to your reading list.
This series has my hooked. I cant wait to find out what the ending of this series has in store. I love the characters and the plot twists that just keep on coming in the story line. Just when I think I have things figured out, boom new twist! This book picks up right where book 2 left off, its not only a romance story, but a mystery and trying to solve a cold case along the way. I have fallen in love with all 4 of the guys and Eden through this series. I cant wait to see what book 4 has in store for us! This book (book 3) also ends on a cliff hanger that will leave you wanting more and sitting in the edge of your seat waiting for book 4 to come out. This book has it all...why choose romance (mmfmm)(less spice then the previous books but thats OK), protective alpha male, working through past trauma, cult survivors, suspense, told from all characters POV (how you fall in love with each of them and get to see the world through their eyes really makes the story) and of course plot twists.....will this book make all the pieces from the 1st 2 books fall into place....nope NOT at all and I'm not mad about it at all (this book also ends on a cliff hanger) but you do get a LOT more clues in this book and it sucks you in....I have never wanted to solve a mystery in a book so much in my life...I swear I don't even know who we can trust anymore in this story!! Just when you think you've got it figured out...,you don't! I love everything about this series and can't wait for book 4....and hopefully some answers! I swear everyone needs to read this series so we can all be at home cold case detectives and compare our notes on the crimes and what happened at Camp Carroll and who we think the bad guy really is!
Trigger warnings are important and so is your mental health. Please take care of yourself and read trigger warnings before you read any book no matter how much a review may tempt you!
All right, we have reached the end (for now). This is an amazing series and if my reviews haven’t sparked an interest, I’m not really sure what more I can say. I loved it, it spoke to me and will be a major dark romance series I will recommend to people.
Eden and her guys are finding out more and more about the world she came from and how it is haunting them all in the present. I think at this point everyone has had a stay at the local hospital, been left for dead, or discovered that they have been lied to. The emotions are heart-pounding suspense, worry, and concern, or coming to terms with deep dark thoughts. My emotions have been through the wringer and I just want some damn answers! But I will have to wait for Book 4 to wrap this whole twisted tale up for me. I can’t even imagine what will happen next. You can bet on May 23th, probably about this time or maybe the next day, cause you know, work. I will be back to share how I feel about the wrap-up of this series and the drama that has been built throughout it. Stay tuned or maybe go get the series and get in the deep emotions of it for yourself.
This is definitely a book that you're going to have to read the other two in, I will have to say I loved it but then again I like this author and all that they have written so I'm totally a fan of everything they do.
This sort of style book is definitely a winner for me I love the whole why choose and you have the Colt Survivor so you have the mystery you have the boyfriends you have all kinds of things going on but you also have to use your head to try to figure out what all is going on at the same time and everything is kind of in a jumble all together you have the guys that don't like each other you have the girl that likes all the guys so everybody has to work together and you're never going to figure it out because you don't get all the pieces all at once
Eden is a really strong FMC and she definitely carries a story a lot but the guy is are there as well you have some really spicy scenes
I definitely recommend it I'm so glad I got to ARC this book and I cannot wait until the next one comes out because of cliffhanger really made me almost want to throw it
Buckle up butter cup because this story is going to make quite a few turns. It’s very important to know you MUST read books Twisted Allegiance and Twisted Hearts before this.
We have had a lot of unanswered questions and things not adding up. Spoiler alert, you’re still not going to find out. But you are going to get more pieces to add to this puzzle. But let me tell you, it is worth it!
Eden and Caleb are gone. Keir is in the hospital and no one saw anything. No one has answers. Blaine and Matt are still on the outs with each other. And X, he’s still X.
But as the story progresses forward, X’s mystery is starting to slowly unravel. We get some answers to a few things, but the questions are still stacking.
And THAT CLIFFHANGER! I’m so mad cause I need to know. But I have no doubt that the final book in this series is going to be EPIC. I have high hopes because they have all been equally addicting.
I DEVOURED this book!! Thank you Roisin & Happily Booked for allowing me to read this ARC but now I need the final instalment tomorrow please!!
There has been so many twists and turns since the start of Twisted Allegiance that I don’t even know what to think anymore. I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but what I will say is, I’m so glad I seen this on Happily Booked….
For anyone who likes psychological thrillers, with some spice, and more than one love interest then these books are for you. I can’t for book 4 to see what else Roisin can come up with
This series just gets better and better. The twists and turns are phenomenal.
I love all the characters, and I haven't got a clue if I should trust any of them at this point. Should I trust the ones I think I should, or trust the ones I think I shouldn't?
This series should be marketed as a psychological thriller because WOW! The why choose element is there for the romance and there is spice but it is in no way taking over from this phenomenal plot line. Then that cliffhanger? I was very loud and expletive when I reached the end.
Please tell me I don't need to wait too long for the last book in the series!
This was intense with trying to figure out cold case and who did what. How certain people were connected to it. I couldn’t stop reading. Definitely alot going on. But we get answers about Eden’s brother if he existed or not. So I’m happy about that. Lol This is book 3 of the series so you will need to read the first two to understand what’s going. Not a ton of spice but there is some. If you like mystery romance this may be for you. I enjoyed it. Check triggers 18+ note: does end with a cliffhanger :)
Book 3 continues where book 2 left off. Keir is in the hospital and Caleb and Eden are missing. We get more information about what happened at camp Carroll and the people who were involved. Turns out there's a leak in the fbi and not everyone is who you think they are. Unfortunately more questions arise it's left at a cliffhanger. I'm loving getting everyone's perspective through the multi pov chapters and intrigued on the relationships Eden has with each of the men. Hutton is definitely interesting and isn't at all what he seems at first glance. I look forward to book 4!
Note: I received this book as an Beta/ARC. These opinions are completely representative of my thoughts on the book and are in no way influenced by any outside sources.
Rating 3.5 Stars This book leads to more questions than answers and was left on a cliffhanger and now I can't wait for the next book. There is a bug mystery going on and I feel like the answer is going to be an ah ha moment. This book has less romance and less spice which was kind of a bummer for me but still an overall good read.
This picked up exactly where we left off and what a book, i feel like my mind was spinning the whole read and yes we have another cliffhanger ending 🤣
I can’t say a lot without ruining any of the previous books but i am getting excited by some answers we are getting however we also seem to be getting more questions!
The MMC’s are definitely all work in progresses for Eden, who herself is just learning who she is, Keir has my heart though if i was made to choose 🙊 luckily we don’t have to!!
I cannot wait for book 4 to see where the story goes 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So I absolutely love the authors writing! Yes it has a cliff hanger! I love the cult survivor mystery reverse harem! Please check trigger warnings. I felt the first 2 books had more spice and I still don't feel complete because this 3rd book has brought more questions then anything for me! I got theories and guesses flying around but I'm 💯 there for it all! Must read books in order from beginning or you will be super lost!
This is the 3rd installment of the exciting Twisted Ties Series. This is a why choose like I’ve never read before. This story is very original and has excitement, mystery, and spice. Each love interest vary in their personalities and Eden is a sweetheart. Must read books in order.
What does Twisted Games have? Suspense Alpha/protective men Past trauma Cult survivors Steam Multi POV Funny banter Secrets, secrets, secrets
Twisted games is book 3 in the series and can’t be read as a standalone!! I was so excited to get this book. I loved the first two books but I NEED book 3 after that cliffhanger but thankfully it picks up right after book 2. In this book more more questions are answered, but also more questions are needed. Lol I love the character building, and the relationships budding between all of them. If you have read the first to you definitely need to read this one!!!
I swear every time I read one of these books it just pulls you right back into where the last one left off. It is an amazing story and it touches in on cults and stuff like that and it’s just one of those things like you know they’re out there, but you don’t hear him, and it’s amazing to see an author actually take the time to sit down and research and then write about them all while throwing a little love and spice and romance in it I can’t wait to see how it ends
This story completely hooked me from the start! I loved the mystery woven throughout the plot and the way little pieces of information were revealed along the way. The dynamic between the characters keeps you constantly on edge, making it impossible to predict what will happen next. It kept me fully invested the entire time, and now I’m eagerly counting down the days until I can read the final book in the series! 📚✨
Huge game changer in the plot. I’ve started to guess who Eden might be but I don’t trust the author…they might ‘twist’ the plot to play with the reader’s mind!! I love it when they do that. 🤗
Unfortunately so many romantic suspense series are predictable….this series is not one of them. Can’t wait to read book 4.
This series just gets Wilder and Wilder!!! I thought books 1 and 2 were crazy with inane cliffhangers, but book 3 does it again! Eden and her guys' rabbit hole story definitely keeps you on your feet, wondering what is going to happen next! On to Book 4! Great Job Roisin keeping me wanting more!
I am just in love with this series! If you like a good mystery with some spice sprinkled in then this is the series for you! Past trauma, murder mystery, past links to present, FBI cold case. I just can’t get enough! I love all the twists and turns this series has taken and I can’t wait for the final book!!
Wow!!! So I just completed all three books that have been written in this series. Talk about twists and turns and a mindfuck of epic proportions. It did take me a bit to get into it but once I did I couldn't stop. Excellent characters, intriguing storyline, very well thought out. Do yourself a favor and read the series...remember to read all three...that's key to staying grounded.
This is book 3 in the Twisted Games Series and let me tell you it is NUTS what is happening in this series. Just when you think you have it somewhat figured out, another curve balls comes along.
I love and hate that it ends in a cliffhanger hanger, but can't wait to know WTH is going on.
This was the best book of the series so far. It ends on a cliffhanger and I very much have to read the next book when it comes out. The sentences are not as disjointed as they were in the first book. We do get some puzzle pieces in this book, but we do not have the whole story yet. I am very invested and need to know what happens next.
3.5 stars So many unanswered questions. More so in this book than the others. My mind is boggled with all the theories I have. This book is a good read. The characters are good, and somehow, they all fit together. I need the next book to relieve my mind with all the questions I have.
This is book 3 out of the series! It will answer a ton of questions and leave you with more! The cliffhanger will have you like 😲😲😲. Eden and her men have a permanent space in my heart! I cannot wait for book 4!
Ugh this is one of my favorite books of the Twisted ties series since everything is coming together. I love this revamp and I’m so excited to finish out this perfected series. I loved every moment and finished it so fast! Cannot wait for the next one! Catch up today!
This is such a great series that keeps the mystery throughout. This book gave us more info and more questions. The characters are amazing and this picked up where the last book left off. This story isn’t finished and I cannot wait to see where this goes!
What a wild ride! I’m so confused on who is really what they say and who to trust. The twists and turns are giving me whiplash. I need book four now. I need answers!
